Overview

Despite turbulent global economic conditions, Indonesia’s economy remains resilient. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been consistently robust, with investment, private consumption, and government spending as the main drivers.

As a large middle-income country, Indonesia's development priorities and borrowing preferences are changing. Guided by the government's commitment to "pro-poor, pro-job, pro-growth, and pro-environment" development, ADB's country partnership strategy aims to support poverty reduction through more rapid, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth.
