Jakarta, MINA – Indonesia’s economy grew in the third quarter of 2025, posting a 5.04% year-on-year growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The rate outpaced the 4.95% growth recorded in the same period last year.
Moh. Edy Mahmud, Deputy for Balance of Payments and Statistics Analysis at BPS, said in a press briefing on Wednesday (Nov 5) that household consumption remained the primary growth driver, supported by government efforts to manage inflation and rising digital economic activity.
“Household spending stayed robust, driven by the growth of online transactions, e-retail, marketplace activities, and wider adoption of electronic payments,”
Edy noted.
From the expenditure side, exports of goods and services expanded 9.91%, propelled by non-oil commodities such as animal and vegetable oils, iron and steel, and electrical machinery and equipment.
