Indonesia’s economic activity has maintained a steady upward trajectory. Real GDP growth, measured year-on-year, moved through a range between 4.94% in Q1 2025 and 5.38% in Q1 2026, registering 5.3% in the latest reading for Q2 2026. Data on the output gap and the unemployment rate are not available for Indonesia.
Price pressures have experienced notable fluctuations over the same horizon. CPI inflation moved from a low of 0.56% in Q1 2025 to a peak of 3.93% in Q1 2026, before settling at 2.95% in Q2 2026. In response to shifting economic conditions, Bank Indonesia kept its policy rate steady at 4.75% from January 2026 through April 2026, before raising it to 5.25% in May 2026 and further to 5.75% in June 2026.

In external trade, the country has consistently maintained a goods trade surplus with the world. Goods exports grew from 163,191.84 million of national currency in 2020 to 281,721.24 million of national currency in 2025, while goods imports expanded from 141,521.29 million of national currency to 241,833.22 million of national currency over the same multi-year period.
On the energy front, net electricity imports stood at 0.96 billion kWh in 2024, hovering in a narrow range over the preceding eight years from 0.8 billion kWh in 2022 to 1.68 billion kWh in 2019. Given the scale of the Indonesian economy, this volume is immaterial and does not represent a structural vulnerability. Meanwhile, the Brent crude oil price — a general input cost — moved from 61.81 US dollars per barrel in December 2025 to a peak of 103.84 US dollars per barrel in May 2026, before moderating to 83.73 US dollars per barrel in July 2026. Additionally, the Australian coal price, a key export commodity for Indonesia, rose from 115.68 US dollars in December 2025 to a high of 150.36 US dollars in June 2026, ending at 140.4 US dollars in July 2026, exposing export revenues to commodity price swings.
No currency data against the IMF Special Drawing Right basket is available for Indonesia.
Overall, Indonesia exhibits resilient economic growth paired with moderate inflation and a tightening monetary stance from Bank Indonesia. External trade surpluses continue to anchor the external sector, while commodity price dynamics remain a key factor for export revenues.
