Jakarta. The government is launching a series of economic stimulus programs to coincide with the June–July 2025 school holiday period, aiming to support economic growth, boost consumer spending, and maintain purchasing power.

Coordinating Economic Ministry Secretary Susiwijono Moegiarso said the second-quarter stimulus measures were finalized during a ministerial coordination meeting on May 23. 

“All the stimulus programs will be implemented starting June 5,” Susiwijono said in a statement on Tuesday.

The initiatives, designed to sustain Q2 GDP growth at around 5 percent, include transport discounts, electricity bill relief, food assistance, wage subsidies, and social protection expansions. Below is a breakdown of the stimulus measures:
