Indonesia rolls out US$1.5bil stimulus package after growth slows


JAKARTA: Indonesia began rolling out a us$1.5 billion stimulus package Thursday (June 5) to boost consumer activity after South-East Asia's biggest economy posted its slowest growth in more than three years in the first quarter.

The archipelago nation's economy grew 4.87 per cent from a year earlier in the first three months of 2025 -- a sluggish rate for the developing country last seen during the Covid-19 pandemic in mid-2021.
