Hana Bank Hosted Economic Outlook 2026:
Seizing Opportunities Amid Global Uncertainty

Jakarta, November 4, 2025 – PT Bank KEB Hana Indonesia (Hana Bank) once again hosted the Hana Bank Economic Outlook carrying the theme “Indonesia in A Shifting World: Geopolitical, Capital Market, and the Global Economy 2026”. The event featured prominent speakers including President Director of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) Iman Rachman, Executive Director of Charta Politika Yunarto Wijaya, Kim Young Jun from Hana Institute of Finance, and Lee Hwan Joo from Wealth Management Group Hana Bank Korea. It was attended by 300 customers and partners of Hana Bank, representing a wide range of industries.

President Director of Hana Bank, Ko Yung Ryul, highlighted that 2026 is expected to bring a range of economic dynamics, from interest rate cuts in major countries, import tariffs, exchange rate volatility, to ongoing geopolitical risks.

“We hope this seminar provides valuable insights for our customers in understanding the economic outlook for 2026 and formulating their business strategies in Indonesia. Hana Bank remains committed to being a trusted partner, providing optimal support, growing together with our customers, and committing to create a better future,” said Ko Yung Ryul in his remarks.

President Director of IDX Iman Rachman explained that Indonesia’s capital market has shown signs of recovery, with the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) growing by 16.83% since the beginning of the year up to October 24, 2025 (year-to-date). The average daily trading value reached IDR 16.46 trillion, with around 232,000 active daily investors. This growth places the JCI as the second highest among Southeast Asian markets.

He further noted that domestic institutional ownership has increased since early 2025, while retail investors continue to dominate stock trading. Toward the end of the year, Iman expects a potential improvement in domestic market sentiment, supported by expectations of lower interest rates.

Meanwhile, Executive Director of Charta Politika Yunarto Wijaya expressed optimism that Indonesia’s economic growth could surpass 5% by the end of 2025, assuming  government spending is effectively executed. He emphasised the importance of the fourth-quarter 2025 policy packages, which include food assistance programs, labor-intensive programs, income tax (PPh 21) incentives, and discounted transportation fares during the year-end holidays.

He added that continued improvement in general trade activities and a positive trade balance will also be driving factors for growth.

In addition, Kim Young Jun from Hana Institute of Finance shared his insights on global and Indonesian economic and financial market outlook, while Lee Hwan Joo from Wealth Management Group Hana Bank Korea discussed Korea’s tax and savings trends and successful wealth succession strategies.

The Hana Bank Economic Outlook has been held annually since 2010, as part of Hana Bank’s commitment to providing strategic insights into national and global economic prospects for its customers.
