00:03:05of 17,090. I mean
00:03:0817,933 per US dollar or
00:03:12strengthened 0.52%.
00:03:15The strengthening of the rupiah was supported by domestic sentiment after the release of inflation
00:03:19data, trade and domestic economic
00:03:22growth. In addition, external pressures also supported
00:03:26the stability of the rupiah exchange rate, crude oil prices
00:03:29fell again. This morning, Brent crude fell
00:03:330.49% to the level
00:03:35of 79.06 dollars per barrel, while
00:03:39WTI fell 0.66%

00:03:56or at least above
00:03:58the market consensus,
00:04:25And viewers, we invite you to monitor the movement of the stock
00:04:29price index.
00:04:31this, Hasim highlighted that state revenues
00:04:40global economic growth which was only
00:04:47in
00:04:482026,
00:04:52okay, now we will invite you, viewers, to
00:04:55monitor the composite stock price
00:04:58index today at... I, viewers, this is the stock exchange board which will
00:05:02show that the composite stock price index
00:05:06this morning moved in the green zone, monitoring
00:05:09at 9.35 Western Indonesian Time
00:05:13strengthened by
00:05:140.37%
00:05:18or equivalent to 22
00:05:21basis points to the level
00:05:23of 6,374,
00:05:25where trading activity on this exchange is also considered
00:05:29quite dynamic, where the trading volume today
00:05:32or trading volume recorded a figure
00:05:35of up to 10.3
00:05:38then for the transaction value today,
00:05:42it has reached 4.1
00:05:45trillion rupiah, then for the trading frequency
00:05:49so far, it has figure
00:05:52of 613,987
00:05:56transactions, where, viewers, for
00:06:00the strengthening of the stock price index today, which
00:06:04is moving in the green zone,
00:06:07there is according to the prediction
00:06:10by Mirai Asset Sekuritas, which was stated
00:06:14by senior technical analyst Navan Aji
00:06:17Gusta, that the movement of the composite stock price index
00:06:21in this morning's trading is still expected to continue
00:06:24the strengthening momentum, where Mirai Asset Sekuritas itself sees
00:06:28market sentiment as tending to be positive, although the strengthening of the composite stock
00:06:31price index is expected to be more moderate. Technically, viewers,
00:06:35this IHSG strengthening is still continuing, supported by a number of
00:06:39technical indicators and an increase in trading volume. From
00:06:42within the country itself, positive sentiment comes from Indonesia's economic
00:06:46growth in the second quarter of 2026, which we know
00:06:49together reached 5.29%
00:06:52annually, although it slowed down from the previous quarter of
00:06:555.61%, this achievement is still above market
00:06:59expectations of around 5.1%.
00:07:03However, viewers, investors still need
00:07:06to observe foreign investor selling actions. In the previous
00:07:09trading, net foreign sales were recorded. large around
00:07:13Rp187.59
00:07:16billion, while year to date, the net
00:07:19selling value of foreign investors has reached around
00:07:2295.1 trillion. Meanwhile,
00:07:25viewers, for today's trading, Mirai Asset Sekuritas
00:07:29estimates that the support level of the IHSG or
00:07:33composite stock price index is at
00:07:356,292 and
00:07:376,242,
00:07:39while resistance is at 6,406 and
00:07:436,454. Perhaps that is all we can say
00:07:47regarding the strengthening of the composite stock price index at the opening
00:07:51today. Back to the studio Jessica. Okay, thank
00:07:54you Arbi for your report directly from the Indonesia Stock Exchange in
00:07:57Jakarta. Viewers, we move on to the information that Finance Minister Purbaya Yudi
00:08:01Sadewa confirmed that the Ministry of Finance will take over the process
00:08:04of debt restructuring and management of
00:08:08the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train. Purbaya explained that the transfer
00:08:11of management is aimed at accelerating
00:08:14the completion of KCIC's debt restructuring,
00:08:18which targets the process to be completed by mid-September
00:08:212026. With this transfer, PT Kereta
00:08:25Cepat Indonesia China or KCIC will no longer be under
00:08:28PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The Ministry of Finance will manage
00:08:32KCIC through one of its Special Mission Vehicles
00:08:36or SMV owned by the Ministry of Finance.
00:08:39Purbaya emphasized that the completion of the high-speed train project.
00:09:12will not change its
00:09:15ownership. Where will KCIC be, sir? Oh,
00:09:19so it won't be under PH. So
00:09:22there will be an injection of funds into KCIC
00:09:26or the funds will be injected through SMPI and then SMPI to
00:09:29KCIC? No, SMPI also has some profit,
00:09:33right? Presidential Special Envoy for Climate and
00:09:36Energy Hasim Joyo Hadi Kusumo emphasized that the state's debt
00:09:40is currently still under control. Despite
00:09:44presentation on the development of the national
00:09:48park innovation and financing task force with editors-in-chief of all
00:09:51media, Hasim highlighted the issue of the state's increasingly mounting
00:09:54debt. He explained that the country's current economic
00:09:58condition is still under control. Hasim even compared
00:10:02Indonesia's debt to several countries in Asia, including Cambodia. Therefore,
00:10:05he reminded the public not to spread information that
00:10:09causes anxiety. He is optimistic that Indonesia can definitely
00:10:25do it. controlled
00:10:27You can check this, sir. So if people say debt can be
00:10:31large, don't exceed it, but compared to other countries, we are
00:10:34very, very controlled. The problem we
00:10:37face is that our
00:10:41state revenue is very
00:10:42low.
00:10:45Taxes, non-tax state revenue, cigarette
00:10:48excise and so on are very, very
00:10:51low, including among the lowest in the world. We present
00:10:55information related to the Central Statistics Agency or BPS, which
00:10:59recorded Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter of
00:11:022026 grew 5.29% annually

00:12:57the Proclamation text that we hear today is indeed Bung Karno's
00:13:00authentic voice, but it was not recorded when the proclamation occurred.
00:13:04Bung Karno recorded the content of the proclamation text in 1951 at the
00:13:07Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) studio. The recording was suggested
00:13:11by Yusuf Roni Dipuro, one of RRI's
00:13:14founders. Now you
00:13:17know, right?
00:13:27Thank you, viewers, you are watching the business zone again and we continue to the
00:13:31information related to the Central Statistics Agency or BPS which recorded
00:13:34Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter of 2026 grew
00:13:385.29% annually or year on year, which
00:13:42the achievement of economic growth in the second quarter of 2026 tended
00:13:46to be higher compared to the same period in 2025
00:13:48which grew 5.12% year
00:13:52on year.
00:13:56Quarterly, the Indonesian economy in the second
00:14:00quarter of 2026 grew
00:14:023.73%.
00:14:04However, this achievement tended to be lower than the growth in the
00:14:08first quarter of 2026 which reached
00:14:115.61%.
00:14:14BPS assesses that the contribution to growth in this period
00:14:17was supported by the processing industry, trade,
00:14:21construction and communication sectors. Meanwhile,
00:14:24in terms of expenditure, household consumption was the highest source of
00:14:27growth at 2.67%,
00:14:31supported by religious holidays and school holiday
00:14:34periods. In addition, gross fixed
00:14:38capital formation (PMTB) and government consumption also participated,
00:14:41starting from
00:14:45and the disbursement of the 13th salary for ASN, TNI and
00:14:48Polri. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs
00:14:52Erlanga Hartarto called Indonesia's economic growth of
00:14:555.29% in the second quarter a fairly
00:14:59good achievement. According to him, this achievement exceeded the average
00:15:05above 3%. In fact, the national economy was
00:15:09still able to grow above 5%, even though Indonesia was facing
00:15:12geopolitical pressure. In addition, in the second quarter of this
00:15:16year, there was no seasonal consumption momentum stimulus such as
00:15:20religious holiday celebrations. So in such conditions,
00:15:24even though various institutions see global economic
00:15:27growth only growing on average above
00:15:303%, Indonesia was still able to
00:15:34grow in the second quarter by
00:15:375.29%.
00:15:40And as we know, the second quarter
00:15:43did not have a big event like Eid, because this was already
00:15:47in the first quarter. So
00:15:50the figure of 5.29 is quite good and
00:15:54we have grown by
00:15:575.45%
00:15:59throughout this semester.
00:16:02And this growth, we are maintaining
00:16:05it against the
00:16:095%, so with a growth of
00:16:125. 45% throughout this
00:16:17among other countries, including in ASEAN,
00:16:20it is one of the
00:16:23top. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Perubaya
00:16:26Yudi Sadewa assessed that this realization slowed
00:16:30down compared to the first quarter of 2026 which
00:16:33grew 5.61%.
00:16:35The slowdown in economic growth in the second quarter was influenced
00:16:39by global pressure, especially the surge in world oil prices in the
00:16:42period April to June 2026. This
00:16:45condition was deemed to hold back Indonesia's export performance
00:16:48and trade activity. Despite being amid external pressure, Purbaya assessed
00:16:52that economic growth of 5.29% still
00:16:55showed a fairly strong condition,
00:16:58slowing down amid high world oil prices in Q2.
00:17:02The impact from global factors was indeed maximized there.
00:17:05April, May, June, when
00:17:09world oil prices were high and so on, exports were disrupted,
00:17:13right? Not optimal. We
00:17:15can grow 5.29%, which is
00:17:19quite good in such a situation. But in the future,
00:17:22I am sure in the third and fourth
00:17:26quarters, we will push towards a faster
00:17:29direction, towards 6% by maximizing
00:17:32all the existing upgrade engines in
00:17:36the economy. Including adding more money in the
00:17:40economy, lowering deposit interest rates,
00:17:44no, lowering the interest rates requested by
00:17:48SMPS under the Ministry of Finance to go down to a lower level
00:17:51so that banks can provide loans with lower
00:17:55interest rates. This step
00:17:58is expected to reduce banking's cost of funds so that
00:18:01loan interest rates can be lower and encourage financing to the
00:18:05productive sector. Metro TV news
00:18:07team.
00:18:11Viewers, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported Indonesia's
00:18:15economic growth of 5.29%
00:18:18annually in the second quarter of 2026.
00:18:22Previously, economists predicted that Indonesia's economic growth
00:18:25in the second quarter of 2026 would slow
00:18:28down compared to the first three months of this year.
00:18:32And to discuss this, we will talk to
00:18:36macroeconomics and financial market economist LPM.
00:18:39Febuui Mas Teku Rifki, good morning Mas Rifki.
00:18:43How are you? Well, Mas Rifki, if we
00:18:46look at the projection from LPEM Febuui
00:18:50for Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter
00:18:53of 2026, it is 4.8%.
00:18:56Then if we look at the market consensus, it is 5.0
00:19:00to 5.1%. And yesterday, it was finally released
00:19:04by the Central Statistics Agency that our economic
00:19:08growth reached 5.29% annually for the second
00:19:11quarter. Are there any specific notes, Mas, regarding
00:19:15the release by BPS? Yes,
00:19:18there are several notes that we highlight
00:19:22from the economic growth figure released yesterday,
00:19:26which was 5.29%.
00:19:28In general, it is indeed far above the consensus,
00:19:35between 5.0 and 5.2, but it turned out to be
00:19:39even higher, even higher than LPM's estimate
00:19:42of 4.8%.
00:19:45Now, why is it higher? It turns out that we
00:19:48see that there is an aspect of government consumption
00:19:52that grew very high, which reached almost
00:19:5616%. So if we look at it overall, perhaps
00:20:00the note is that the economic growth
00:20:03in the second quarter yesterday was not
00:20:06driven or pushed by an increase in productivity,
00:20:10meaning that we have not yet seen the source of growth
00:20:14from household consumption or investment, but rather
00:20:17from government programs that encourage economic growth,
00:20:20so this does not reflect an increase in
00:20:24welfare inclusively.
00:20:26Okay, this is interesting, Mas, because if we
00:20:30look at the data, as Mas Rifki said, government
00:20:33consumption, which increased by 15.97%,
00:20:36this was mainly accelerated due to the disbursement
00:20:40of the 13th salary and also operational
00:20:42spending. How sustainable is this push
00:20:46for the second semester?
00:20:52It shouldn't be prolonged, because the 13th salary
00:20:56is only disbursed once a year, secondly,
00:20:59for operational spending, we see a lot of
00:21:03realization for construction, for example, the
00:21:06red and white village cooperative, and then the
00:21:09purchase of goods for
00:21:12MBG. So all of this is only
00:21:16for a few flagship programs. On the other hand,
00:21:20this will also erode our fiscal posture, which
00:21:23is already contracting at this time. So
00:21:27if this continues to be driven only by government consumption,
00:21:30it seems it will be hampered later by the
00:21:333% deficit mandate. In the future, it should indeed be
00:21:37driven by the private sector, not by government
00:21:41consumption anymore. So we see that the room
00:21:44for government consumption to continue its
00:21:47role in driving economic growth is relatively
00:21:51limited, so we estimate
00:21:54that in the future, if the business world
00:21:58or households do not increase their productivity, then
00:22:01economic growth also has a relative risk of slowing
00:22:04down in the rest of 2026.
00:22:07Hmm, Mas Rifki, what is always
00:22:11a note and also a focus of every economic
00:22:14growth release is related to the resilience of household
00:22:18consumption during the second quarter of 2026? How about
00:22:22we also remember that previously there was no drive
00:22:25like in the previous quarter, for example, from
00:22:29the aspect of how there were
00:22:32many big moments. How was the resilience of household
00:22:36consumption in the second quarter?
00:22:39Yes, if we look at household consumption,
00:22:43it slowed down in the second quarter, growing 5.06%
00:22:47from the previous 5.52%.
00:22:50In the first quarter, there was a seasonal
00:22:54factor, Ramadan, Eid. In the second quarter, there
00:22:57was no such seasonal factor, so it relatively
00:23:01slowed down. Overall, we see that household
00:23:05consumption growth is relatively resilient, meaning it is still
00:23:08around 5%. But in the future, we
00:23:12see that household consumption growth is also relatively
00:23:16stagnant, meaning that it does not
00:23:19seem that household consumption growth is able
00:23:23to drive economic growth much higher. So far,
00:23:26household consumption growth is similar to economic growth
00:23:29at 5% and economic growth can
00:23:33only grow higher at this time because it is driven
00:23:36by government consumption only. So we actually hope that
00:23:40in the future, household consumption can be much
00:23:44more productive, because otherwise, we will be stuck
00:23:47at a growth level of only
00:23:50Hmm, Mas Rifki, but looking at the data, the
00:23:54growth is supported by leisure, Mas, where the upper-middle class
00:23:58is spending, while for the lower-middle class, what
00:24:01is their condition? Are they experiencing a squeeze or a decline in
00:24:05purchasing power?
00:24:08Yes, exactly, the lower-middle class tended
00:24:11to experience a squeeze in
00:24:13the second quarter. We saw inflation starting
00:24:17to rise, partly because energy prices started
00:24:21to increase, and then basic commodity prices also
00:24:24increased. On the other hand, we know that during the
00:24:27second quarter, there was a moment of price increases that
00:24:31put pressure on the purchasing power of the middle class,
00:24:34so the lower-middle class tended to be under pressure.
00:24:37This is also seen from LPS data that the average
00:24:41savings of school children enabled some
00:24:44upper-middle class groups to engage in leisure activities
00:24:47such as tourism. So, inequality
00:24:51is still evident in the breakdown
00:24:54of household consumption during the second quarter of
00:24:58Hmm. Mas Rifki, earlier we discussed the surge
00:25:02in government spending, then related to household
00:25:05consumption, and one more thing that always shapes
00:25:09the demand side is gross fixed capital
00:25:12formation (PMTB), which, if we look at its release,
00:25:15grew 6.87%, but it turns out that the main
00:25:19surge was in capital goods, vehicles, and also operational
00:25:22equipment. What is LPEM's assessment or note
00:25:26on this? Yes, again,
00:25:30our note indicates that economic growth
00:25:34in the second quarter is still supported by government
00:25:38programs. This vehicle import is
00:25:41to support MBG and KDMP. So, without
00:25:44these two programs,
00:25:47we actually don't see any significant improvement
00:25:50in productivity. So, it is only supported by
00:25:54the government's flagship programs, and we still
00:25:57need to see in the future whether the execution
00:26:01on the ground will be productive or not. That is,
00:26:04whether the use of these vehicles can then be translated
00:26:08into sustainable economic growth or not. But if
00:26:12we look at the quality of Q2 growth,
00:26:15without government spending, it is still
00:26:19unproductive and relatively
00:26:22low. So, if we take out government's big
00:26:26spending, our economic growth is actually still
00:26:29below 5%. So, it is
00:26:33only driven by one or two engines
00:26:36that apparently are not programs that
00:26:40will sustain growth in the future.

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