Indonesia Targets 6% Growth, Says Finance Minister

Indonesia’s economy is ready to move faster, with a goal of reaching 6 percent growth, according to Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. He said the country now has the right conditions to accelerate, following a period of slower expansion. The minister’s statement signals growing confidence in the nation’s economic outlook. He pointed to recent improvements that make the target realistic, though he did not provide specific data in the initial remarks. Analysts say reaching 6 percent would mark a significant step up from Indonesia’s recent growth rates, which have hovered around 5 percent. The government has been working to boost investment and consumption to drive higher output. Sadewa’s comments come as policymakers focus on sustaining momentum amid global uncertainties. No further details on policy changes or timelines were given in the statement.
