Indonesia's GDP in Q2-2021 moved into positive territory for the first time since the Covid-19
outbreak at the beginning of 2020, achieving 7.07% (yoy) growth. Recent economic expansion
builds on the previous improvements in Q1-2021 and represents the fastest pace of growth
since Q4-2004 (7.16% yoy). Consequently, real GDP in Q2-2021 surpassed that recorded prior
to the Covid-19 pandemic in Q4-2019. All demand components and economic sectors have
contributed to upward economic momentum. Moving forward, Bank Indonesia will continue to
increase policy coordination with the Government and other relevant institutions, including
monetary-fiscal policy coordination, export stimuli as well as economic and financial inclusion,
to nurture further economic gains, while accelerating the vaccination rollout and adhering to
stringent health protocols.
On the demand side, Q2 economic performance was boosted primarily by higher exports,
household consumption, investment and government consumption. In the reporting period,
exports soared 31.78% (yoy) on the back of growing demand in Indonesia's trading partner
countries. Furthermore, household consumption charged into a positive zone for the first time
since the Q2-2020 at 5.93% (yoy), thus reversing the -2.22% (yoy) contraction recorded in
the Q1-2021. Household consumption continues to increase in response to fewer mobility
restrictions, ongoing stimuli in the form of a luxury tax holiday and macroprudential policy, as
well as the seasonal boost afforded by recent national religious holidays (HBKN). Investment
growth has also moved into an expansionary phase at 7.54% (yoy), underpinned by stronger
non-building investment. Finally, government consumption expanded 8.06% (yoy) in the
reporting period, driven by the accelerated realisation of fiscal stimuli in the form of
procurement and capital spending, specifically relating to the national economic recovery
program, as well as personnel expenditure. Consistent with higher exports and domestic
demand, import growth also surged to 31.22% (yoy).
All economic sectors expanded in the reporting period, primarily led by the Manufacturing
Industry, Trade, Transportation and Storage as well as Accommodation and Food Service
Activities. Spatially, national economic momentum has been buoyed by all regions of the
archipelago, dominated by Sulawesi-Maluku-Papua (Sulampua), Java and Kalimantan.
