TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto affirmed his government's commitment to safeguarding political stability, national security, and investors' trust, citing them as the foundation of national development and economic growth.

Speaking at the Indonesia Economic Outlook 2026 event in Jakarta on Friday, February 13 2026, he stated that political stability is a primary key to enduring development in Indonesia.

Prabowo emphasized the importance of maintaining security and legal certainty as the foundation for growth, ensuring that Indonesia maintains a strong track record of honoring all international agreements and financial obligations.

"We have an extensive track record. Indonesia has never defaulted in its history. We have always honored the agreements of previous governments," the president said, as quoted from Antara.

Furthermore, Prabowo reiterated Indonesia's openness to investment and voiced confidence in the nation's robust recovery.

He introduced a major strategy titled "Indonesia Incorporated," which emphasizes collaboration across all elements of the nation.

This concept highlights cooperation throughout the national economy—ranging from large, medium, and small-scale businesses—with the government providing support as a facilitator.

Prabowo explained that, under this concept, large-scale businesses are expected to push and uplift smaller, more vulnerable businesses so they can grow together.

Meanwhile, the government ensures clean and fair governance while protecting the most vulnerable members of society

The president expressed optimism that this synergy will not only help Indonesia address global challenges but also position the country as a major economic power capable of achieving prosperity for all citizens.

Indonesia has set a 5.4 percent economic growth target for 2026, supported by key strategic initiatives, including the free nutritious meals program and the Red and White village cooperatives.
