Our verdict
Not yet due, but behind the plan's own steps. The 8 percent deadline is 2029, so the promise cannot be judged yet. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded 5.11 percent growth in 2025 against the 5.3 percent target, and 5.45 percent in January to September 2026 against the 6.3 percent target for 2026.
