In his first public speech since the February elections, Prabowo Subianto, Indonesia's likely next president, addressed an audience of investors, promising to push the country's GDP growth to 8% within five years while adhering to fiscal deficit limits. He described Indonesia as a "very, very messy democracy" but remained optimistic about achieving this ambitious economic target. This goal aligns with Indonesia's broader plans, including the relocation of its capital from Jakarta to a new city in the forests of Borneo, a move that has been described as an audacious plan and a utopian vision for a jungle capital by the outgoing president. The initiative has sparked optimism over the country's prospects, contributing to Indonesian stocks reaching a record high.
