The Today's Headlines section of Indonesia Investments is a regularly updated section which contains the latest information with regard to topics that are currently causing headlines in Indonesia's media. Most of our headlines cover political, economic and social matters. As a consequence of their recent nature, these topics may not have crystallized fully yet and can, therefore, lack a profound analysis. For publications with a more in-depth understanding of subjects, we refer you to our News, Financial or Business columns.
On 3 September 2025 Indonesia Investments released the August 2025 edition of its monthly report. The report discusses key political, economic and social developments that occurred in Indonesia in the month of August 2025.
Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2-2025) significantly exceeded our projection. While our projection was set in the range of 4.7-4.9 percent year-on-year (y/y), Indonesia’s Statistical Agency (BPS) reported on 5 August 2025 that the official growth rate was 5.12 percent (y/y) in Q2-2025.
In July 2025 we saw some more marked inflationary pressures in Indonesia. Based on the latest data released by Statistics Indonesia (or BPS), Indonesian inflation was recorded at 0.30 percent month-on-month (m/m) in July 2025. Key factors were (as usual) food prices and (a bit unusual) education that pushed inflation higher.
On Monday (August 4, 2025) Indonesia Investments released the July 2025 edition of its monthly report. The latest edition is titled "An Evolving Trade Landscape". This title obviously refers to the trade agreements between Indonesia, the United States (US) and the European Union (EU).
