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.
The long Idul Fitri holiday (that ends on 7 April 2025) somewhat disrupts our access to Indonesia’s macroeconomic data as much of the private and public sector is closed during this holiday (hence do not release any data during this period).

On Tuesday (08 April 2025) the stock market reopened in Indonesia after the long Idul Fitri holiday. And so, it was the first time investors could respond to global turmoil that occured after US President Donald Trump announced steep import tariffs for goods shipped into the United States (feared to trigger a global trade war and global economic recession).
Markets in Indonesia were closed for the national Idul Fitri holiday (the festivities that mark the end of the Ramadan month) between 28 March and 7 April 2025, meaning they haven't digested the controversial tariffs that were announced by US President Donald Trump on 2 April 2025.
