Eight Government Priority Programs That Aim To Boost Economic Growth & Create Jobs
Tensions in Indonesian society peaked in late August and early September 2025 as big demonstrations, fundamentally driven by deep, long-standing public frustration over economic hardship and perceived political corruption, took the streets. It was a scary period, with reportedly ten fatalities.
For the cabinet this was a sign that it needs to accelerate economic growth in order to generate enough job and business opportunities as well as healthy and intelligent citizens. This includes the acceleration of the cabinet’s “Eight Government Priority Programs for 2026”. While these programs had been designed prior to the massive demonstrations, the turmoil did make politicians aware that these programs need to be sped up in order to release simmering tensions, and thereby preventing further public outcry.

The eight government priority programs are:
- Food Security
- Energy Security
- Free Nutritious Meals
- Quality Education
- Quality Healthcare
- People's Economy and Village Cooperatives
- Total Defense
- Global Investment and Trade Acceleration
