In 2003, Indonesia achieved a major milestone: the return of macroeconomic stability. This success was the result of disciplined fiscal and monetary policies, supported by nationwide efforts to maintain socio-political stability. Key achievements included the longest period of exchange rate stability since the crisis, a significant drop in inflation to its lowest rate in two decades (except for 1999), and consistently declining SBI interest rates nearing historical lows. These developments have laid a strong foundation for economic recovery, bolstered the financial sector, and increased international confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects.
