Unlocking Indonesia’s Economic Potential Through OECD Accession
Indonesia’s accession to the OECD is projected to deliver substantial economic benefits, including increased GDP growth, stronger investment inflows—estimated at USD 87.7 billion in 2028—and improved investor confidence through alignment with international standards. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, the analysis forecasts economic gains in the early and intermediate phases following accession, though these effects may moderate in the longer run as the economy stabilizes.
Accession also presents opportunities to enhance sectoral performance, particularly in manufacturing, services, and renewable energy. To fully realize these benefits, Indonesia must implement key regulatory reforms across areas such as consumer protection, competition policy, trade, and foreign investment, aligning its framework with OECD best practices to support sustainable and inclusive growth.
