The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has prepared a financing package for 2026 to support various key projects in Indonesia. The total indicative amount included in the project pipeline stands at US$2.7 billion, equivalent to Rp45.22 trillion based on an exchange rate of Rp16,749.

ADB’s Director for Indonesia, Bobur Alimov, stated that the funding is intended to advance policy reforms, including deepening the financial sector, improving regional governance, strengthening water resilience, accelerating the sustainable energy transition, and enhancing marine protection.

“The pipeline of ADB’s priority projects for Indonesia in 2026 has reached an indicative value of US$2.7 billion, aimed at supporting policy reforms through financial sector deepening, improvements in regional governance, water resilience, sustainable energy transition, and marine protection,” Alimov said in a written statement on Thursday (26/2/2026).

In 2025, ADB committed US$2.4 billion to Indonesia in the form of government-guaranteed loans. This support was directed toward advancing policy reforms, accelerating trade, boosting productivity through human capital development programs—including health and education—and facilitating the sustainable energy transition. Meanwhile, ADB’s private sector operations, which are not government-guaranteed, recorded commitments of US$150 million in 2025.

Since 1966, ADB has partnered with Indonesia to strengthen infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital development. Indonesia is a founding member of ADB and its sixth-largest shareholder.

“ADB is proud to have supported Indonesia as a trusted partner for nearly 60 years. Our long-standing presence in Indonesia reflects a deep understanding of local wisdom and a shared commitment to advancing the country’s development,” Alimov remarked.

The partnership has evolved over time, beginning with a strong focus on agriculture in the 1970s, followed by transportation and energy infrastructure development in the 1980s, and structural reforms in the 1990s. ADB also responded swiftly with support during turbulent periods, including the 1997–1998 Asian Financial Crisis, the 2004 Aceh Earthquake and Tsunami, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, ADB continues to promote infrastructure and human capital development in alignment with Indonesia’s Asta Cita priorities and the 2025–2029 Country Partnership Strategy. The strategy offers not only financing but also technical expertise, policy support, and long-term solutions to help Indonesia address complex challenges.

“We remain closely aligned with the government’s vision. Therefore, beyond financing, we also provide knowledge, policy advice, and long-term partnerships to support the realization of Indonesia’s Golden Vision 2045,” he added.
