President Prabowo Establishes Task Force to Accelerate Economic Growth

President Prabowo Subianto has taken a significant step to bolster Indonesia's economic trajectory by issuing Presidential Decree No. 4 of 2026, establishing a Task Force for Accelerating Government Programs to Support Economic Growth. This initiative underscores the administration's commitment to achieving the ambitious vision of 'Indonesia Emas 2045' (Golden Indonesia 2045).

The decree explicitly states the necessity of accelerating government programs to strengthen the people's economy and enhance economic growth. This task force is designed to be a central coordinating body, responsible for overseeing and expediting a range of critical government initiatives. These include economic stimulus packages, priority government programs, and key projects within various ministries and institutions, all aligned with the President's directives.

Leading this crucial body are high-ranking officials: Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto as Ketua I (Chairman I) and Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi as Ketua II (Chairman II). They will be supported by three deputy chairpersons and a comprehensive roster of ministers and heads of institutions, covering a wide spectrum of economic and developmental sectors. This broad representation ensures a holistic approach to economic acceleration.

The task force's mandate extends to developing integrated and collaborative strategic steps, monitoring and evaluating the realization of program budgets, and swiftly resolving strategic issues. Its establishment signifies a proactive and determined effort by the Prabowo administration to drive economic progress and ensure Indonesia's prosperity in the coming decades. The decree, effective March 11, 2026, marks a new phase in the nation's economic development strategy.
