Indonesia’s growth story is more than rising numbers, it’s about how prosperity reaches everyone. True progress means ensuring that economic gains uplift all Indonesians, across provinces and communities. Inclusive growth empowers small businesses, supports women, and strengthens local economies.

Geopolitics is fragmenting, technology is rewiring markets, and advanced economies are now subsidising industry at scale, complicating the path to sustainable growth. Developing economies, by contrast, largely cannot afford the same playbook: they must compete harder for capital, talent, and position within shifting supply chains.Against this backdrop, Indonesia faces a dual challenge: accelerating economic expansion while ensuring that gains are broadly shared. This session examines what policy mix, institutional reforms, and private sector strategies could help Indonesia strengthen competitiveness without widening inequality — and which strategic priorities can anchor a growth model that is both more resilient and more inclusive.

Indonesia’s progress toward a circular economy must address a critical reform: improving the management of waste-collection fees. Weak payment systems and untracked revenues continue to erode waste management performance, losing realization of great circular economy potential. These challenges highlight the importance of establishing ring-fenced accounts to ensure that waste revenues are separated from general funds and reinvested in improving collection and service delivery.
This session launches new research by the Indonesian Business Council (IBC) on Equitable and Sustainable Waste Management for a Circular Economy: Optimizing Collection Fee Systems. It brings together national and local policymakers alongside private sector stakeholders to unpack the economic, institutional, and political challenges of waste collection fee systems and to discuss what it takes to make them work. Ultimately, the dialogue looks at how sound waste-collection fee system design and financial accountability can turn waste management into a serious economic lever for circular growth.

The private sector drives Indonesia’s economic transformation from creating jobs, spurring innovation, and attracting investment. Stronger collaboration between business and government is essential to unlock the nation’s full potential and ensure growth benefits all. How can the private sector play an even greater role in shaping Indonesia’s future?

After two decades of steady expansion, Indonesia’s development model is approaching an inflection point. Rising complexity in both global markets and domestic policymaking has revealed the limits of traditional interventionist approaches, and highlighted the need for a more agile, competitive economic architecture. Going forward, growth will increasingly depend on the ability to harness private enterprise and deepen market dynamism — supported by a state that is more strategic, predictable, and focused on enabling productivity. This session explores what adjustments, institutional alignments, and policy reforms could define a more modernised growth model for Indonesia’s next frontier.

Indonesia's ambition to achieve sustained high economic growth, as a cornerstone of the current government's development agenda, is being tested by rising global uncertainty. The implementation of US reciprocal tariffs has introduced significant headwinds, affecting key Indonesian export sectors and creating ripple effects across regional supply chains. This policy shift, combined with broader trends toward geoeconomic fragmentation, presents genuine challenges to Indonesia's growth trajectory. However, within this uncertainty lie substantial opportunities. Reconfiguration of global supply chains, shifting investment flows, and renewed focus on regional economic integration create strategic openings for Indonesia to capture higher value-added activities, strengthen its industrial base, and – at the same time – enhance its leadership within ASEAN. The real challenge for Indonesia is not simply to weather the current disruptions, but to actively navigate this landscape with a mindset oriented toward maximizing the opportunities these shifts reveal. This requires clear strategic thinking, coordinated policy responses, and effective alignment between national priorities and regional frameworks.

This roundtable will bring together government leaders, urban experts, and major private developers to explore practical solutions through innovative financing, smarter governance, and stronger collaboration. Discussions will focus on aligning national and local priorities, improving project delivery, and creating conditions that attract private investment, ultimately outlining actionable strategies to transform Indonesian cities into competitive, resilient, and inclusive hubs of sustainable growth.

As major powers wage industrial policy races, redraw supply chains, and weaponise trade and technology, the strategic landscape of Asia is undergoing a profound reset. ASEAN sits at the centre of this shift — geographically,
economically, and diplomatically — yet centrality is not guaranteed. It must be earned through agility, adaptability, and genuine agency. This session explores the forces reshaping ASEAN’s role, the opportunities emerging from great-power competition, and how the region can maintain relevance: by building deeper economic integration, aligning industrial priorities, and shaping the rules and standards of the next era of Asian growth.

The next wave of global capital will not simply follow cheap labour or tax incentives, it will flow to markets that can deliver certainty, scale, and superior returns. Firms today prioritise states with strong industrial capacity, resilient supply chains, and clear capability pathways. For Indonesia to compete: policy, infrastructure, talent, and regulation must reinforce each other, and public incentives must be aligned with sectors that have clear market demand and committed off-takers, not just domestic ambition. This session explores how Indonesia can translate industrial ambition into bankable, investable projects supported by credible de-risking instruments, predictable policy frameworks, and institutional coordination across ministries. Ultimately, the goal is to make Indonesia not only attractive, but a compelling market where capital can earn returns, scale technology, deepen value-added manufacturing, and anchor long-term impactful industrial investment.

Two-way trade between Indonesia and Australia reached USD 35.38 billion in 2024 under IA-CEPA, with investment totaling USD 3.5 billion across key sectors. While traditional areas remain strong, opportunities in healthcare, education, tourism, agribusiness, green energy, and digital services are still underdeveloped. Strengthening human capital and aligning standards—particularly in health and education—can also help to meet Australia’s projected workforce gaps while advancing Indonesia’s skills base. The roundtable will convene senior leaders from both countries to translate this agenda into actionable initiatives, including the relaunch of Invested: Indonesia to 2040 and the identification of public-private projects to accelerate more two ways investment.
