Indonesia is charging into 2025 with bold policies, fresh opportunities, and a rapidly evolving market. With a new government agenda, major infrastructure projects, and game-changing economic shifts, traders need to stay sharp. That’s where EBC comes in—helping you navigate the twists and turns of Southeast Asia’s rising giant.
Prabowo’s Power Moves: Big Plans, Bigger Impact
Fresh off a landslide victory with 58% of the vote, President Prabowo Subianto is wasting no time. His ambitious $28 billion Free Nutritious Meal initiative aims to improve national well-being, but it comes with financial challenges.
To keep the economy on track, the government is rolling out a massive IDR 827 trillion ($51.65 billion) stimulus package. This is designed to soften the blow of a VAT hike from 11% to 12%—a balancing act that could shape investor confidence.
Market Watch: Rupiah, Stocks & the Infrastructure Boom
The Indonesian Rupiah has been riding a wave of uncertainty, influenced by shifting domestic policies and global economic forces. As the country’s fiscal landscape changes, traders should keep a close eye on currency movements and regional trade dynamics.
Meanwhile, Indonesia’s biggest infrastructure push yet—led by the development of its new capital, Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN)—is driving demand for raw materials like steel and iron ore. This could be a win for Australian exporters, even as China’s slowing economy weighs on global markets.
BRICS, AI & the Future of Indonesia’s Economy
Indonesia’s entry into the BRICS alliance is unlocking new trade and forex opportunities. The BRICS-led New Development Bank is expected to play a key role in funding Indonesia’s infrastructure projects, which could reshape the commodities market.
At the same time, Indonesia is diving headfirst into AI innovation. The new Komdigi Ministry is setting up regulations for responsible AI development, paving the way for major breakthroughs across industries—including finance.
