Rancak Media, JAKARTA — Indonesia’s Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa is confidently projecting the nation’s economic growth to reach an impressive 6% by 2026. This optimistic forecast is significantly bolstered by his strong belief that the capital market is poised to achieve even higher record performances, signaling a vibrant economic landscape ahead.
Minister Purbaya asserts that Indonesia’s economic foundations have demonstrably improved, particularly since he assumed the role of Finance Minister in September 2025 and began shaping economic policies. He further highlights a significant enhancement in coordination with monetary authorities, specifically the Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI). This strengthened collaboration fuels his conviction that achieving the ambitious target of an IHSG (Jakarta Composite Index) at 10,000 and the 6% economic growth rate is entirely within reach.
Speaking at the opening of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in early 2026, specifically on Friday, January 2, 2026, in Jakarta, Purbaya declared, “That’s not an impossible figure to achieve. We are witnessing better economic growth compared to last year. For this entire year, I have been steering the economy alongside the BI Governor and other key stakeholders.” He elaborated that a more synergistic approach between fiscal and monetary policies is expected to accelerate economic expansion, which will consequently translate into enhanced corporate profits.
Consequently, Minister Purbaya urged capital market investors not to miss the imminent surge in Indonesia’s economic growth, which he confidently predicts will be even higher this year. “Shrewd investors, don’t miss out,” advised the former economist from Danareksa, emphasizing the golden opportunity for market participants.
This optimistic outlook is further underpinned by robust market performance. According to records from Bisnis, the IHSG concluded its trading last year with a remarkable 22.13% increase, reaching a level of 8,646.93. Throughout the previous year, the IHSG also set multiple all-time highs (ATH), illustrating the market’s strong underlying momentum and potential for continued growth.
