Roy Morgan’s latest research shows an increase in trust in the Indonesian Government since new President Prabowo’s inauguration in October 2024. For the first six months of Prabowo’s Presidency, a majority of 69% of Indonesians say they trust the current government, up 8% points from the 61% recorded for the six months before the inauguration. This rise in trust is mirrored by a sharp increase in the approval of government performance. A large majority of 79% of Indonesians agree that "the government is doing a good job running the country", up 7% points compared to the prior six months before President Prabowo came to power. While trust and approval of government performance have risen, concern about corruption remains widespread. In the first six months of the new presidency, 84% of Indonesians agreed that "corruption is one of the major problems facing this country", up 3% points since before Prabowo’s inauguration.

Rio Tinto is believed to have reached agreement on a deal to sell its stake in Indonesia’s Grasberg copper and gold mine to the state-owned Indonesia Asahan Aluminium. The Indonesian Government must still strike a deal with the mine’s operator, Freeport McMoran, as part of its push to take a minimum stake of 51 per cent in the project. Rio Tinto may gain around $US3.5bn from the sale of its interest in the mine, and the proceeds are tipped to be returned to shareholders via a buyback or increased dividend payout.
