[00:02:14] Hello, good morning viewers, how are you? I'm very happy to meet you again in the business
[00:02:18] zone. This time with me, Jessica Wulandari, who will accompany you for the next

[00:02:25] information from the world of economics and business and immediately, this is the full
[00:02:29] business zone.
[00:02:35] Viewers, the rupiah exchange rate strengthened again against the US dollar at the
[00:02:39] opening of trading on Thursday, August 6, 2026.
[00:02:43] Based on Bloomberg data in the Spot Exchange Market. Today's
[00:02:46] rupiah exchange rate opened stronger by 20 points or
[00:02:50] 0.11% at the level of 17,913
[00:02:54] per US dollar.
[00:02:57] Previously, the rupiah exchange rate on Wednesday, July
[00:03:01] 5, closed stronger by 94 points at the level
[00:03:05] of 17,090. I mean
[00:03:08] 17,933 per US dollar or
[00:03:12] strengthened 0.52%.
[00:03:15] The strengthening of the rupiah was supported by domestic sentiment after the release of inflation
[00:03:19] data, trade and domestic economic
[00:03:22] growth. In addition, external pressures also supported
[00:03:26] the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, crude oil prices
[00:03:29] fell again. This morning, Brent crude fell
[00:03:33] 0.49% to the level
[00:03:35] of 79.06 dollars per barrel, while
[00:03:39] WTI fell 0.66%
[00:03:43] to the level of 74.72 dollars per barrel.
[00:03:56] or at least above
[00:03:58] the market consensus,
[00:04:25] And viewers, we invite you to monitor the movement of the stock
[00:04:29] price index.
[00:04:31] this, Hasim highlighted that state revenues
[00:04:40] global economic growth which was only
[00:04:47] in
[00:04:48] 2026,
[00:04:52] okay, now we will invite you, viewers, to
[00:04:55] monitor the composite stock price
[00:04:58] index today at... I, viewers, this is the stock exchange board which will
[00:05:02] show that the composite stock price index
[00:05:06] this morning moved in the green zone, monitoring
[00:05:09] at 9.35 Western Indonesian Time
[00:05:13] strengthened by
[00:05:14] 0.37%
[00:05:18] or equivalent to 22
[00:05:21] basis points to the level
[00:05:23] of 6,374,
[00:05:25] where trading activity on this exchange is also considered
[00:05:29] quite dynamic, where the trading volume today
[00:05:32] or trading volume recorded a figure
[00:05:35] of up to 10.3
[00:05:38] then for the transaction value today,
[00:05:42] it has reached 4.1
[00:05:45] trillion rupiah, then for the trading frequency
[00:05:49] so far, it has figure
[00:05:52] of 613,987
[00:05:56] transactions, where, viewers, for
[00:06:00] the strengthening of the stock price index today, which
[00:06:04] is moving in the green zone,
[00:06:07] there is according to the prediction
[00:06:10] by Mirai Asset Sekuritas, which was stated
[00:06:14] by senior technical analyst Navan Aji
[00:06:17] Gusta, that the movement of the composite stock price index
[00:06:21] in this morning's trading is still expected to continue
[00:06:24] the strengthening momentum, where Mirai Asset Sekuritas itself sees
[00:06:28] market sentiment as tending to be positive, although the strengthening of the composite stock
[00:06:31] price index is expected to be more moderate. Technically, viewers,
[00:06:35] this IHSG strengthening is still continuing, supported by a number of
[00:06:39] technical indicators and an increase in trading volume. From
[00:06:42] within the country itself, positive sentiment comes from Indonesia's economic
[00:06:46] growth in the second quarter of 2026, which we know
[00:06:49] together reached 5.29%
[00:06:52] annually, although it slowed down from the previous quarter of
[00:06:55] 5.61%, this achievement is still above market
[00:06:59] expectations of around 5.1%.
[00:07:03] However, viewers, investors still need
[00:07:06] to observe foreign investor selling actions. In the previous
[00:07:09] trading, net foreign sales were recorded. large around
[00:07:13] Rp187.59
[00:07:16] billion, while year to date, the net
[00:07:19] selling value of foreign investors has reached around
[00:07:22] 95.1 trillion. Meanwhile,
[00:07:25] viewers, for today's trading, Mirai Asset Sekuritas
[00:07:29] estimates that the support level of the IHSG or
[00:07:33] composite stock price index is at
[00:07:35] 6,292 and
[00:07:37] 6,242,
[00:07:39] while resistance is at 6,406 and
[00:07:43] 6,454. Perhaps that is all we can say
[00:07:47] regarding the strengthening of the composite stock price index at the opening
[00:07:51] today. Back to the studio Jessica. Okay, thank
[00:07:54] you Arbi for your report directly from the Indonesia Stock Exchange in
[00:07:57] Jakarta. Viewers, we move on to the information that Finance Minister Purbaya Yudi
[00:08:01] Sadewa confirmed that the Ministry of Finance will take over the process
[00:08:04] of debt restructuring and management of
[00:08:08] the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train. Purbaya explained that the transfer
[00:08:11] of management is aimed at accelerating
[00:08:14] the completion of KCIC's debt restructuring,
[00:08:18] which targets the process to be completed by mid-September
[00:08:21] 2026. With this transfer, PT Kereta
[00:08:25] Cepat Indonesia China or KCIC will no longer be under
[00:08:28] PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The Ministry of Finance will manage
[00:08:32] KCIC through one of its Special Mission Vehicles
[00:08:36] or SMV owned by the Ministry of Finance.
[00:08:39] Purbaya emphasized that the completion of the high-speed train project.
[00:09:12] will not change its
[00:09:15] ownership. Where will KCIC be, sir? Oh,
[00:09:19] so it won't be under PH. So
[00:09:22] there will be an injection of funds into KCIC
[00:09:26] or the funds will be injected through SMPI and then SMPI to
[00:09:29] KCIC? No, SMPI also has some profit,
[00:09:33] right? Presidential Special Envoy for Climate and
[00:09:36] Energy Hasim Joyo Hadi Kusumo emphasized that the state's debt
[00:09:40] is currently still under control. Despite
[00:09:44] presentation on the development of the national
[00:09:48] park innovation and financing task force with editors-in-chief of all
[00:09:51] media, Hasim highlighted the issue of the state's increasingly mounting
[00:09:54] debt. He explained that the country's current economic
[00:09:58] condition is still under control. Hasim even compared
[00:10:02] Indonesia's debt to several countries in Asia, including Cambodia. Therefore,
[00:10:05] he reminded the public not to spread information that
[00:10:09] causes anxiety. He is optimistic that Indonesia can definitely
[00:10:25] do it. controlled
[00:10:27] You can check this, sir. So if people say debt can be
[00:10:31] large, don't exceed it, but compared to other countries, we are
[00:10:34] very, very controlled. The problem we
[00:10:37] face is that our
[00:10:41] state revenue is very
[00:10:42] low.
[00:10:45] Taxes, non-tax state revenue, cigarette
[00:10:48] excise and so on are very, very
[00:10:51] low, including among the lowest in the world. We present
[00:10:55] information related to the Central Statistics Agency or BPS, which
[00:10:59] recorded Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter of
[00:11:02] 2026 grew 5.29% annually
[00:11:06] or year on year. Stay

[00:11:11] us.
[00:11:18] So, did you know that Bung Karno's voice
[00:11:21] in reading the proclamation text was a re-recording?
[00:11:27] So, you'll know
[00:11:29] shortly,
[00:11:33] which one do you want to choose?
[00:11:44] Every choice can be a game changer for today.

[00:12:53] know. The recording of Bung Karno's voice during the reading of
[00:12:57] the Proclamation text that we hear today is indeed Bung Karno's
[00:13:00] authentic voice, but it was not recorded when the proclamation occurred.
[00:13:04] Bung Karno recorded the content of the proclamation text in 1951 at the
[00:13:07] Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) studio. The recording was suggested
[00:13:11] by Yusuf Roni Dipuro, one of RRI's
[00:13:14] founders. Now you
[00:13:17] know, right?
[00:13:27] Thank you, viewers, you are watching the business zone again and we continue to the
[00:13:31] information related to the Central Statistics Agency or BPS which recorded
[00:13:34] Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter of 2026 grew
[00:13:38] 5.29% annually or year on year, which
[00:13:42] the achievement of economic growth in the second quarter of 2026 tended
[00:13:46] to be higher compared to the same period in 2025
[00:13:48] which grew 5.12% year
[00:13:52] on year.
[00:13:56] Quarterly, the Indonesian economy in the second
[00:14:00] quarter of 2026 grew
[00:14:02] 3.73%.
[00:14:04] However, this achievement tended to be lower than the growth in the
[00:14:08] first quarter of 2026 which reached
[00:14:11] 5.61%.
[00:14:14] BPS assesses that the contribution to growth in this period
[00:14:17] was supported by the processing industry, trade,
[00:14:21] construction and communication sectors. Meanwhile,
[00:14:24] in terms of expenditure, household consumption was the highest source of
[00:14:27] growth at 2.67%,
[00:14:31] supported by religious holidays and school holiday
[00:14:34] periods. In addition, gross fixed
[00:14:38] capital formation (PMTB) and government consumption also participated,
[00:14:41] starting from
[00:14:45] and the disbursement of the 13th salary for ASN, TNI and
[00:14:48] Polri. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs
[00:14:52] Erlanga Hartarto called Indonesia's economic growth of
[00:14:55] 5.29% in the second quarter a fairly
[00:14:59] good achievement. According to him, this achievement exceeded the average
[00:15:05] above 3%. In fact, the national economy was
[00:15:09] still able to grow above 5%, even though Indonesia was facing
[00:15:12] geopolitical pressure. In addition, in the second quarter of this
[00:15:16] year, there was no seasonal consumption momentum stimulus such as
[00:15:20] religious holiday celebrations. So in such conditions,
[00:15:24] even though various institutions see global economic
[00:15:27] growth only growing on average above
[00:15:30] 3%, Indonesia was still able to
[00:15:34] grow in the second quarter by
[00:15:37] 5.29%.
[00:15:40] And as we know, the second quarter
[00:15:43] did not have a big event like Eid, because this was already
[00:15:47] in the first quarter. So
[00:15:50] the figure of 5.29 is quite good and
[00:15:54] we have grown by
[00:15:57] 5.45%
[00:15:59] throughout this semester.
[00:16:02] And this growth, we are maintaining
[00:16:05] it against the
[00:16:09] 5%, so with a growth of
[00:16:12] 5. 45% throughout this
[00:16:17] among other countries, including in ASEAN,
[00:16:20] it is one of the
[00:16:23] top. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Perubaya
[00:16:26] Yudi Sadewa assessed that this realization slowed
[00:16:30] down compared to the first quarter of 2026 which
[00:16:33] grew 5.61%.
[00:16:35] The slowdown in economic growth in the second quarter was influenced
[00:16:39] by global pressure, especially the surge in world oil prices in the
[00:16:42] period April to June 2026. This
[00:16:45] condition was deemed to hold back Indonesia's export performance
[00:16:48] and trade activity. Despite being amid external pressure, Purbaya assessed
[00:16:52] that economic growth of 5.29% still
[00:16:55] showed a fairly strong condition,
[00:16:58] slowing down amid high world oil prices in Q2.
[00:17:02] The impact from global factors was indeed maximized there.
[00:17:05] April, May, June, when
[00:17:09] world oil prices were high and so on, exports were disrupted,
[00:17:13] right? Not optimal. We
[00:17:15] can grow 5.29%, which is
[00:17:19] quite good in such a situation. But in the future,
[00:17:22] I am sure in the third and fourth
[00:17:26] quarters, we will push towards a faster
[00:17:29] direction, towards 6% by maximizing
[00:17:32] all the existing upgrade engines in
[00:17:36] the economy. Including adding more money in the
[00:17:40] economy, lowering deposit interest rates,
[00:17:44] no, lowering the interest rates requested by
[00:17:48] SMPS under the Ministry of Finance to go down to a lower level
[00:17:51] so that banks can provide loans with lower
[00:17:55] interest rates. This step
[00:17:58] is expected to reduce banking's cost of funds so that
[00:18:01] loan interest rates can be lower and encourage financing to the
[00:18:05] productive sector. Metro TV news
[00:18:07] team.
[00:18:11] Viewers, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported Indonesia's
[00:18:15] economic growth of 5.29%
[00:18:18] annually in the second quarter of 2026.
[00:18:22] Previously, economists predicted that Indonesia's economic growth
[00:18:25] in the second quarter of 2026 would slow
[00:18:28] down compared to the first three months of this year.
[00:18:32] And to discuss this, we will talk to
[00:18:36] macroeconomics and financial market economist LPM.
[00:18:39] Febuui Mas Teku Rifki, good morning Mas Rifki.
[00:18:43] How are you? Well, Mas Rifki, if we
[00:18:46] look at the projection from LPEM Febuui
[00:18:50] for Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter
[00:18:53] of 2026, it is 4.8%.
[00:18:56] Then if we look at the market consensus, it is 5.0
[00:19:00] to 5.1%. And yesterday, it was finally released
[00:19:04] by the Central Statistics Agency that our economic
[00:19:08] growth reached 5.29% annually for the second
[00:19:11] quarter. Are there any specific notes, Mas, regarding
[00:19:15] the release by BPS? Yes,
[00:19:18] there are several notes that we highlight
[00:19:22] from the economic growth figure released yesterday,
[00:19:26] which was 5.29%.
[00:19:28] In general, it is indeed far above the consensus,
[00:19:35] between 5.0 and 5.2, but it turned out to be
[00:19:39] even higher, even higher than LPM's estimate
[00:19:42] of 4.8%.
[00:19:45] Now, why is it higher? It turns out that we
[00:19:48] see that there is an aspect of government consumption
[00:19:52] that grew very high, which reached almost
[00:19:56] 16%. So if we look at it overall, perhaps
[00:20:00] the note is that the economic growth
[00:20:03] in the second quarter yesterday was not
[00:20:06] driven or pushed by an increase in productivity,
[00:20:10] meaning that we have not yet seen the source of growth
[00:20:14] from household consumption or investment, but rather
[00:20:17] from government programs that encourage economic growth,
[00:20:20] so this does not reflect an increase in
[00:20:24] welfare inclusively.
[00:20:26] Okay, this is interesting, Mas, because if we
[00:20:30] look at the data, as Mas Rifki said, government
[00:20:33] consumption, which increased by 15.97%,
[00:20:36] this was mainly accelerated due to the disbursement
[00:20:40] of the 13th salary and also operational
[00:20:42] spending. How sustainable is this push
[00:20:46] for the second semester?
[00:20:52] It shouldn't be prolonged, because the 13th salary
[00:20:56] is only disbursed once a year, secondly,
[00:20:59] for operational spending, we see a lot of
[00:21:03] realization for construction, for example, the
[00:21:06] red and white village cooperative, and then the
[00:21:09] purchase of goods for
[00:21:12] MBG. So all of this is only
[00:21:16] for a few flagship programs. On the other hand,
[00:21:20] this will also erode our fiscal posture, which
[00:21:23] is already contracting at this time. So
[00:21:27] if this continues to be driven only by government consumption,
[00:21:30] it seems it will be hampered later by the
[00:21:33] 3% deficit mandate. In the future, it should indeed be
[00:21:37] driven by the private sector, not by government
[00:21:41] consumption anymore. So we see that the room
[00:21:44] for government consumption to continue its
[00:21:47] role in driving economic growth is relatively
[00:21:51] limited, so we estimate
[00:21:54] that in the future, if the business world
[00:21:58] or households do not increase their productivity, then
[00:22:01] economic growth also has a relative risk of slowing
[00:22:04] down in the rest of 2026.
[00:22:07] Hmm, Mas Rifki, what is always
[00:22:11] a note and also a focus of every economic
[00:22:14] growth release is related to the resilience of household
[00:22:18] consumption during the second quarter of 2026? How about
[00:22:22] we also remember that previously there was no drive
[00:22:25] like in the previous quarter, for example, from
[00:22:29] the aspect of how there were
[00:22:32] many big moments. How was the resilience of household
[00:22:36] consumption in the second quarter?
[00:22:39] Yes, if we look at household consumption,
[00:22:43] it slowed down in the second quarter, growing 5.06%
[00:22:47] from the previous 5.52%.
[00:22:50] In the first quarter, there was a seasonal
[00:22:54] factor, Ramadan, Eid. In the second quarter, there
[00:22:57] was no such seasonal factor, so it relatively
[00:23:01] slowed down. Overall, we see that household
[00:23:05] consumption growth is relatively resilient, meaning it is still
[00:23:08] around 5%. But in the future, we
[00:23:12] see that household consumption growth is also relatively
[00:23:16] stagnant, meaning that it does not
[00:23:19] seem that household consumption growth is able
[00:23:23] to drive economic growth much higher. So far,
[00:23:26] household consumption growth is similar to economic growth
[00:23:29] at 5% and economic growth can
[00:23:33] only grow higher at this time because it is driven
[00:23:36] by government consumption only. So we actually hope that
[00:23:40] in the future, household consumption can be much
[00:23:44] more productive, because otherwise, we will be stuck
[00:23:47] at a growth level of only
[00:23:50] Hmm, Mas Rifki, but looking at the data, the
[00:23:54] growth is supported by leisure, Mas, where the upper-middle class
[00:23:58] is spending, while for the lower-middle class, what
[00:24:01] is their condition? Are they experiencing a squeeze or a decline in
[00:24:05] purchasing power?
[00:24:08] Yes, exactly, the lower-middle class tended
[00:24:11] to experience a squeeze in
[00:24:13] the second quarter. We saw inflation starting
[00:24:17] to rise, partly because energy prices started
[00:24:21] to increase, and then basic commodity prices also
[00:24:24] increased. On the other hand, we know that during the
[00:24:27] second quarter, there was a moment of price increases that
[00:24:31] put pressure on the purchasing power of the middle class,
[00:24:34] so the lower-middle class tended to be under pressure.
[00:24:37] This is also seen from LPS data that the average
[00:24:41] savings of school children enabled some
[00:24:44] upper-middle class groups to engage in leisure activities
[00:24:47] such as tourism. So, inequality
[00:24:51] is still evident in the breakdown
[00:24:54] of household consumption during the second quarter of
[00:24:58] Hmm. Mas Rifki, earlier we discussed the surge
[00:25:02] in government spending, then related to household
[00:25:05] consumption, and one more thing that always shapes
[00:25:09] the demand side is gross fixed capital
[00:25:12] formation (PMTB), which, if we look at its release,
[00:25:15] grew 6.87%, but it turns out that the main
[00:25:19] surge was in capital goods, vehicles, and also operational
[00:25:22] equipment. What is LPEM's assessment or note
[00:25:26] on this? Yes, again,
[00:25:30] our note indicates that economic growth
[00:25:34] in the second quarter is still supported by government
[00:25:38] programs. This vehicle import is
[00:25:41] to support MBG and KDMP. So, without
[00:25:44] these two programs,
[00:25:47] we actually don't see any significant improvement
[00:25:50] in productivity. So, it is only supported by
[00:25:54] the government's flagship programs, and we still
[00:25:57] need to see in the future whether the execution
[00:26:01] on the ground will be productive or not. That is,
[00:26:04] whether the use of these vehicles can then be translated
[00:26:08] into sustainable economic growth or not. But if
[00:26:12] we look at the quality of Q2 growth,
[00:26:15] without government spending, it is still
[00:26:19] unproductive and relatively
[00:26:22] low. So, if we take out government's big
[00:26:26] spending, our economic growth is actually still
[00:26:29] below 5%. So, it is
[00:26:33] only driven by one or two engines
[00:26:36] that apparently are not programs that
[00:26:40] will sustain growth in the future.

[00:28:08] achieved overnight. Many things happened in the days before
[00:28:11] the proclamation. Ask why. On the evening
[00:28:15] of August 14, 1945, Shahrir heard a foreign
[00:28:18] news broadcast that Japan had surrendered to the allies. He informed
[00:28:22] all underground struggle groups from Cerebon,
[00:28:25] Garut to Semarang, and they immediately made
[00:28:28] a move. On August 15, the Japanese emperor,
[00:28:32] Hito, officially announced unconditional surrender via radio. This broadcast
[00:28:36] was spread to various countries. The youth held
[00:28:40] a meeting. They wanted the proclamation to be carried out immediately,
[00:28:43] fearing that if the Allies came to Indonesia, they would take over power
[00:28:47] from Japan. Darwis and Wikana met Sukarno Hatta
[00:28:50] to convey the results of the meeting that independence must be carried out
[00:28:54] on August 16. The request was rejected because
[00:28:57] Sukarno Hatta did not want to overstep the authority of PPKI. Then
[00:29:01] the Young Generation returned.
