Indonesia’s economy performed better than expected in the second quarter of 2025, achieving its fastest growth pace in two years, supported by strong investment and household spending—offering hope for the government to maintain growth momentum despite global challenges.
Data from the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics showed GDP growth of 5.12 percent year-on-year during the April–June period, compared to 4.87 percent in the previous quarter, surpassing the average forecast of 4.80 percent.
Investment growth jumped to 6.99 percent, its highest rate since Q2 2021, supported by infrastructure projects, especially the expansion of the rapid mass transit network in Jakarta.
