Government Declares Gibran's Resignation Does Not Disrupt National Economy

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Head of the Government Communication Agency (Bakom) of Indonesia, Syahganda Nainggolan, stated that Gibran Rakabuming Raka's resignation from the position of Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia does not disrupt Indonesia's economy.

"The economy is now 'decoupling' (separating economic issues from practical politics). Despite the tumultuous political situation, the economy remains unaffected. This also demonstrates the maturity of our political landscape," said Syahganda in a press release from Bakom on Thursday (12/11/2026).

Syahganda also ensured that the government's operations continue to run normally amidst Gibran's resignation dynamics.

"Amid the dynamics of the Vice President, who has submitted his resignation letter to the MPR, we assure you that the government is functioning normally under the command of President Prabowo," he emphasized.

Additionally, Syahganda stressed that all of the government's priority programs are ongoing, from Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) to People’s Schools (SR).

He highlighted evidence such as President Prabowo Subianto inaugurating a People’s School in Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh Province, on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

"In fact, none of President Prabowo's government programs have been reduced so far," said Syahganda.

Meanwhile, Syahganda explained that all ministries and state agencies continue to coordinate intensively under Prabowo's direct leadership.

Syahganda called on the public to remain calm and not to be easily influenced by various unverified speculations or information circulating in public.

"The government is committed to continuously providing the latest developments transparently and accurately through official state channels," he added.
