“The Commanding State: Indonesia’s Policy Pivot and The Business Agenda for 2026”
Our recent EGN Executive Leadership session in Jakarta brought together senior leaders for a timely and thought-provoking discussion on Indonesia’s evolving policy direction and its implications for business in 2026.
Key Takeaways:
1. Policy & Market Uncertainty
Ongoing adjustments in fiscal policy and regulatory direction are creating a more cautious environment for market participants and investors, requiring leaders to stay agile and forward-looking.
2. Political Dynamics Matter
Early signs of fragmentation within the Koalisi Merah Putih highlight how political stability continues to play a critical role in shaping investor confidence and business sentiment.
3. Stronger State Involvement
Institutions like Danantara and INA (Indonesia Investment Authority) signal a continued shift toward a more state-led economic direction — influencing capital allocation and strategic sectors.
