Bali’s economy grew 5.82% in 2025, but that headline does not describe one single engine. Bank Indonesia says the annual expansion was supported by construction, trade, and transportation and warehousing, while accommodation, food and drink remained an important source of growth, according to Bank Indonesia, 2026.
Which sectors drove Bali’s economy in 2025?
Bank Indonesia’s February 2026 provincial report identifies construction, wholesale and retail trade, and transportation and warehousing as key drivers of Bali’s 2025 performance. It also says accommodation, food and drink continued to contribute to the province’s expansion, according to Bank Indonesia, 2026.
How fast did Bali grow?
Bali’s economy expanded 5.82% year on year in 2025, compared with 5.48% in 2024, according to Bank Indonesia’s February 2026 report. The report also records growth of 5.86% year on year in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Bank Indonesia, 2026.
What supported activity beyond tourism?
The sector breakdown shows that Bali’s growth was not limited to accommodation and food services. Bank Indonesia links the 2025 expansion to stronger construction, trade, and transport and warehousing performance, alongside continued strength in tourism-related activity, according to Bank Indonesia, 2026.
What does this mean for jobs and investment?
For investors and employers, the figures point to several parts of the island economy rather than tourism alone. BPS describes its labour statistics as covering the labour force, employment, unemployment, job vacancies and job creation, but the BPS page found for this search does not provide a current numerical labour-market result, according to BPS-Statistics Indonesia Bali Province, 2025.
That means the 2025 growth figure can establish the scale and sectoral direction of the economy, but it should not be treated as a direct count of new jobs or proof that growth was evenly distributed across Bali’s districts.
