What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

President Prabowo Subianto aims to lift Indonesia's economic growth to 6% in 2027 while maintaining a fiscal deficit of 2.4% of GDP, a goal some analysts deem overly ambitious. Meanwhile, Bali recorded an August 2026 inflation rate of 3.45 percent year-on-year, driven by increased demand for air travel and commercial chicken meat. The sole candidate for Bank Indonesia governor, Damayanti, outlined 'pro-growth' policies while affirming the central bank's independence.
