Indonesia's economic growth in 2024 is also believed to increase compared to the government's economic growth outlook for 2023 which is around 5.0% yoy. 

Sri Mulyani said, economic growth in 2024 is driven by the conduct of the general election which falls in February 2024. 

This five-year democratic party will boost consumption, both household consumption and community consumption. 

In addition, various ongoing national strategic projects (PSN) will also boost domestic economic growth. 

However, Sri Mulyani will still monitor various global risks. Such as, economic weakening in several main countries, increasing geopolitical tensions and global fragmentation, as well as increasing fiscal pressure in many countries.
