Adhyasta Dirgantara, Dani Prabowo, Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto claims that the current state of the Indonesian economy is quite good. This was based on reports from economics ministers during a limited cabinet meeting at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday February 17.

"We discussed economic developments, I was given an update, I was given a report on developments by the economics ministers. I am very happy that our economy is under control", Prabowo said.

He said that Indonesia's inflation rate was also the lowest compared to other countries in the world.

In addition, Indonesia's economic growth, he said, remains above the global average. Prabowo did not however reveal any figures on the state of inflation or economic growth.

He only mentioned that the economic situation was under control. "Almost all sectors are running under control, even though world geopolitical developments are full of uncertainty", he said.

"However, our economic resilience is quite tough. There are still many challenges, there are still many difficulties, but we are able to control things", he added.
