Indonesian regional economic development

Overview

Economic activity in various Indonesian regions is being driven by a combination of reported GDP growth and targeted local development initiatives.

In the second quarter of 2026, Nunukan Regency recorded a 3.95 percent growth rate, serving as a major economic contributor to North Kalimantan. Meanwhile, Pekanbaru in Riau saw a 7.39 percent growth rate, which officials linked to improved infrastructure and government incentive payments.

To further bolster local economies, regional governments are implementing specific development programs. In North Maluku, the Halmahera Barat regency is utilizing the Integrated Village Economic Transformation (Tekad) Program to support 84 villages through commodity-based businesses, such as coconut shell briquette production. In West Bangka, the People's Palm Oil Rejuvenation (PSR) Program is being executed in collaboration with cooperatives to replace aging palm trees with superior seeds to increase long-term productivity.
