Jakarta (The Indonesian News) – Indonesia’s economy grew 5.47 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2026, Statistics Indonesia (BPS) reported Thursday, as strong performance across several components of gross domestic product (GDP) helped sustain economic momentum.
BPS Chief Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti said household consumption on the expenditure side and manufacturing on the production side were the main drivers of growth during the quarter.
“Indonesia’s economy posted solid growth in the third quarter of 2026. Household consumption was the main driver on the expenditure side, while the production side was supported by the manufacturing sector’s impressive performance,” Amalia said in Jakarta on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
Household consumption grew 5.04 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, accelerating from 4.89 percent in the same period of 2025.
“Greater public mobility and increased tourism activity helped boost household consumption. We also recorded growth in the value of electronic money transactions, as well as online transactions for goods and services,” she said.
Amalia added that imports of consumer goods also increased, alongside higher sales volumes of motorcycles and passenger cars.
On the production side, manufacturing expanded by 5.87 percent, outpacing overall national economic growth. The sector had grown 5.54 percent in the third quarter of 2025.
Amalia said the main subsectors supporting manufacturing growth were food and beverage production, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and traditional medicines and metal manufacturing.
