The Indonesian government has issued Minister of Finance Regulation No. 50 of 2026, launching a new package of economic stimulus measures for the second half of the year.
The regulation introduces specific import incentives targeting aircraft spare parts and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), aiming to reduce operational costs for the aviation sector and stabilize household energy prices.
The move comes as Jakarta seeks to bolster domestic demand and support key industries amid global economic headwinds.
By easing import duties on critical aviation components, the government aims to improve the cost efficiency of local carriers, which have faced pressure from rising maintenance and fuel expenses.
Similarly, the LPG incentives are designed to ensure affordable cooking gas for consumers, a politically sensitive issue in the archipelago.
This stimulus package follows a broader trend of targeted fiscal interventions in emerging markets, where governments are balancing growth support with debt sustainability.
