The KIMCI report reveals the conditions, behaviors, and perceptions of the middle class, which can serve as a basis for formulating strategies and policies to strengthen resilience, drive growth, and support economic and social development in Indonesia.
One of the research findings in the report relates to the ownership of financial products among the middle class. Savings are the most commonly owned instrument, with a proportion of 67.8%.
