This fiscal performance comes as the government aggressively scales up its <strong>first-quarter spending<\/strong>, which is forecasted to reach <strong>809 trillion rupiah<\/strong> ($48 billion).<\/p>\n<p>To manage liquidity, the ministry announced it will extend <strong>March-maturing state bank deposits<\/strong> for an additional six months. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure the banking system remains well-funded to support <strong>credit growth<\/strong> and domestic consumption. <em>Analysts suggest that this expansionary fiscal tilt is designed to meet ambitious growth targets despite global economic headwinds.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Adjustments: Airbus, Vinci, and Jamieson Wellness<\/h2>\n<p><strong>JP Morgan<\/strong> has revised its price targets for two major European players, reflecting divergent outlooks in the aerospace and infrastructure sectors.
