This achievement places Bali as the fifth-highest province nationally and marks the island’s strongest economic growth in the past seven years.
Bali Governor Wayan Koster stated that the province’s 2025 macroeconomic development indicators showed highly positive results, exceeding the targets set in the regional development plan.
Based on data from Statistics Indonesia, the achievement reflects the implementation of the Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali vision through the Planned Universal Development Pattern in the New Era of Bali.

In terms of income distribution, Bali’s Gini Ratio in 2025 declined to 0.333 from 0.348 in 2024, indicating more equitable income distribution among the population.
The poverty rate also decreased to 3.42 percent in 2025, down by 0.38 percent from 3.80 percent in 2024, making Bali the province with the lowest poverty rate nationwide. Similarly, the unemployment rate dropped to 1.45 percent from 1.79 percent the previous year.
“The unemployment rate in Bali in 2025 is 1.45 percent, decreasing by 0.34 percent compared to 1.79 percent in 2024. Bali has the lowest unemployment rate nationally,” Koster said.
Human development indicators also improved. Bali’s Human Development Index (HDI) in 2025 rose to 79.37 from 78.63 in 2024, placing Bali fifth highest nationally. Meanwhile, life expectancy increased to 75.46 years in 2025, up from 75.10 years the previous year.
Koster emphasized that these achievements indicate that Bali’s development throughout 2025 has proceeded in line with the planned policy direction and programs, covering six priority sectors: strengthening customs, traditions, arts, culture, and local wisdom; improving healthcare, education, youth and sports, social security, and employment; economic transformation through the Kerthi Bali Economy; development of land, sea, and air infrastructure and transportation; environmental, forestry, and energy management; and strengthening Bali as a digital island with enhanced security.
According to Koster, the strong development performance is the result of collective efforts involving the central government, provincial and regency/city administrations, business actors, and the entire Balinese community.
