Indonesia unveiled a Rp 16.23 trillion ($1 billion) stimulus package on Monday to boost household consumption, create jobs, and ease business costs through the end of 2025. Dubbed the “8+4+5” program, the plan covers eight short-term measures, four extensions into 2026, and five long-term initiatives targeting employment. Key measures include Rp 198 billion for internships benefiting 20,000 fresh graduates, expanded income tax subsidies for over 552,000 tourism and hospitality workers, and Rp 7 trillion in food aid to distribute rice to millions of low-income families. Informal workers such as ride-hailing drivers and couriers will also gain support through subsidized workplace insurance premiums.
Global cues also supported market sentiment. On Wall Street, all three major US indexes extended record highs on Monday, buoyed by Tesla’s 3.6 percent rally after Elon Musk purchased $1 billion worth of stock through a trust. The S&P 500 rose 0.5 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 49 points, or 0.1 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.9 percent.
Investors are awaiting the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Wednesday, where the market widely expects the first interest rate cut of the year. Traders are betting on further easing through late 2025, though any deviation from expectations could trigger volatility.
