Medan, December 3, 2021 – Indonesia’s economic growth in the third quarter of 2021 has reportedly grown in a positive trend and continued to record improvement in various sectors. This was commensurate with the government’s responses and measures to control a surge in COVID-19 cases through vaccination programs in various areas and managing community mobility. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) reported that national economy grew by 3.51% year-on-year (yoy) or 1.55% quarter-on-quarter (qoq) as a continuance of positive growth previously in the second quarter of 2021.   

Acceleration of realization of budget refocusing in the National Economic Recovery program, which was achieved by adjusting to the dynamics of the pandemic, has also enhanced government consumption to grow by 0.66% (yoy). Spatially, Java and Sumatra islands contributed greatly to national economy with a positive growth of 3.03% (yoy) and 3.78% (yoy) respectively, followed by other areas. Only Bali and Nusa Tenggara experienced economic contraction by -0.09% (yoy) because tourism sector has not fully recovered due to the impacts of community activity restrictions.
