Indonesia Q2 GDP Growth Beats Forecasts, Standard Chartered Lifts 2026 Outlook
Indonesia's economy expanded 5.3% year-on-year in Q2, surpassing consensus despite a slowdown from the previous quarter, prompting Standard Chartered to raise its 2026 GDP forecast.
Indonesia's gross domestic product grew 5.3% in the second quarter compared to a year earlier, according to Standard Chartered economist Aldian Taloputra. The pace slowed from 5.6% in the first quarter but came in above market expectations.
