Indonesia’s economy grew 5.47% from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2026, according to figures released on November 5. That was faster than the second quarter’s 5.29% annual growth.

Statistics agency BPS also reported a 1.59% increase from the preceding quarter, according to the government’s InfoPublik service. The quarterly and annual figures measure different comparisons.

Bank Indonesia attributed much of the expansion to domestic consumption and investment. Household spending rose 5.04% year on year, while investment increased 6.06%. Exports grew 4.59%.

Government consumption rose 8.95%. The central bank linked that increase to personnel spending, including civil-service salaries and allowances, and purchases of goods and services, including the Free Nutritious Meals programme.

All economic sectors recorded growth, with manufacturing and trade among the principal contributors, Bank Indonesia said. Bali and Nusa Tenggara led regional growth.

The central bank’s accompanying statement projected full-year 2026 growth of 4.9% to 5.7%. That range was a forecast issued with the quarterly report, rather than a final annual result.
