An economist forecast Indonesia’s current-account deficit at about 1.5% of GDP in 2026, widening to 1.6% in 2027 from 0.1% in 2025. He attributed the deterioration partly to higher energy-import costs, including oil prices that rose amid US-Iran tensions and remained elevated after a pullback.
A wider current-account deficit increases Indonesia’s need for foreign financing and dollars, which can put downward pressure on the rupiah and raise local-currency costs for imported feed and energy. Elevated oil prices also add to the import bill and support crude prices.
