Solo — President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, announced a major milestone in national investment performance, revealing that the country has already met its 2025 state budget investment target as of August 2025—a full four months ahead of schedule.

“I’ve received a report from the Minister of Investment: this month, Indonesia has reached the investment target set in last year’s State Budget (APBN 2025). We hit the target this August—four months before year’s end,” Prabowo stated during his address at the closing ceremony of the 2025 Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Congress on Sunday (July 20).

The announcement reinforces the President’s confidence in the current direction of Indonesia’s economic policy. He directly addressed what he described as deliberate narratives of pessimism aimed at undermining public confidence.

“There are efforts to paint Indonesia as being in crisis, in darkness, or as an economic failure. My friends, that’s simply not true. These are attempts to demoralize us—and we must reject them,” Prabowo said firmly.

He also noted that other key macroeconomic indicators—such as unemployment and extreme poverty—are moving in a positive direction.

The President credited the country’s solid economic foundation and forward-looking fiscal strategy, including the creation of Danantara, Indonesia’s sovereign wealth fund, which he described as a future economic engine.

“We’ve established a sovereign wealth fund—Danantara, short for Daya Anagata Nusantara. Danantara represents the future energy of the Indonesian nation. It’s designed to protect and grow the wealth of our children, grandchildren, and generations to come,” Prabowo explained.
