JAKARTA – Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa underlined the strength of Indonesia’s macroeconomic fundamentals and fiscal policy direction in meetings with global investors in New York and Washington, DC.

At the meetings, major investors including HSBC Global Asset Management, Lazard Asset Management, BlackRock, Lord Abbett and TD Asset Management expressed interest in investing in Indonesia.

According to him, investors primarily sought assurance that Indonesia’s fiscal condition remains sound amid various circulating concerns.

However, they also want to ensure stability and a conducive investment climate before committing capital.

Purbaya dismissed concerns related to negative narratives surrounding Indonesia’s fiscal position.

He stressed that such reports do not reflect actual conditions, and that the government continues to maintain strong economic fundamentals.

As cited by Antara News Agency, he said the government is keeping fiscal policy on track, thereby supporting market confidence.

He also received feedback urging the government to enhance communication with investors, particularly from the United States, given that Indonesia’s economic fundamentals are already considered solid.

According to Purbaya, global investors view Indonesia’s fiscal policy direction as appropriate.

They also consider that some negative outlooks issued by international rating agencies may have been premature, as they were not yet supported by comprehensive economic data.

To further attract investment, the government is targeting sustained economic growth.

In the first quarter of 2026, growth is projected at around 5.5%. If this positive trend continues in subsequent quarters, investor confidence is expected to strengthen further.

The government remains committed to ensuring that all policies are implemented as planned, in order to support sustainable economic growth while enhancing Indonesia’s investment appeal.

As previously reported by IDNFinancials.com, Indonesia’s realised investment reached IDR 497 trillion by the end of March 2026, up 7% year on year. (DK/ZH)
