President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has targeted an Indonesian poverty rate of 6.5%-7.5% in the 2024 State Budget (RAPBN).

The government states that poverty, also impacted by the crisis and Covid-19, is being addressed by strengthening social protection programs. The government claims these efforts are showing considerable success.

"This is evident from the poverty rate in 2022 and 2023 (as of March), which has decreased back to the single digits, reaching 9.54% and 9.36% respectively," according to the 2024 Financial Note.

Looking at the four-year trend, Indonesia's highest poverty percentage occurred in 2020 at 10.19%. This was the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to widespread restrictions on physical and economic activity to curb the virus's spread.

In 2021, the figure decreased to 9.71%. The poverty rate further decreased to 9.57% in 2022.

In 2023, the government targeted a poverty rate of 7.5%-8.5%. For 2024, the target is a further decrease to 6.5%-7.5%.
