OJK Cites Moody's Rating as Proof of Indonesia's Solid Economic Fundamentals

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) views Moody's decision to maintain Indonesia's sovereign credit rating at Baa2 as confirmation of the country's solid economic fundamentals.

This is supported by relatively strong economic growth, a disciplined macro policy framework, and the resilience of the financial sector amidst increasing global uncertainty.

Friderica Widyasari Dewi, OJK's Acting Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners, stated that OJK will continue to strengthen its role in maintaining financial system stability while supporting national economic growth.

In the future, she said, OJK will consistently implement priority programs in 2026 by prioritizing prudential principles, strengthening the resilience of the financial sector, and deepening the financial market in a measured manner.

Friderica said, "All of these agendas are aimed at maintaining financial system stability, supporting the financing of the government's priority programs, and strengthening the confidence of market players and investors," as quoted from a statement in Jakarta on Friday, February 6, 2026, by Antara.

Indonesia's economy grew by 5.11 percent in 2025, surpassing the growth achieved the previous year.

This performance demonstrates the national economy's ability to maintain growth momentum despite global challenges. It also provides important support for short-term uncertainties reflected in the outlook.

In addition to maintaining Indonesia's sovereign credit rating at the Baa2 level, Moody's also announced on Thursday a change in outlook from stable to negative.

OJK views Moody's assessment, placing Indonesia in a relatively better position compared to its peers, as a reflection of confidence in the national policy capacity. OJK, she said, will support strengthening national coordination to create more aligned and consistent policies.

As a member of the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK), OJK will also continue to strengthen policy synergy with the government and relevant authorities to maintain financial system stability and expand support for medium- and long-term development financing.
