Economic development in Indonesia

Indonesia’s GDP is expected to rise steadily until 2029, suggesting consistent economic growth. Resonating with this pattern, foreign direct investment in Indonesia has steadily increased over the past few years. However, the government still grapples with inflation rates and a budget deficit, with government revenue consistently lower than expenditure. Despite these challenges, Indonesia aims to become one of the top five largest economies globally by 2045.

As of 2023, the GDP growth rate for Indonesia’s manufacturing sector was projected to be nearly five percent. Across the various segments of the sector, the highest investment value came from basic metals manufacturing, demonstrating its important role in driving industrial growth.
