Starting from 2012, Indonesia's quarterly GDP growth has been on a descending trend. In 2012, annual GDP growth stood at 6.23 percent, which meant that it had also not been able to meet its target of 6.3-6.5 percent growth that was originally set in the government's State Budget (APBN) as global turmoil resulted in weaker exports. Moreover, government spending was labeled as 'not optimal' in 2012.

The global unstable environment is expected to continue next year and has resulted in a downward revision of 2014's GDP growth to 6.4-6.5 percent.
