Summary
Indonesia is one of the countries that registered high death tolls from COVID-19 pandemic. Against that backdrop, the research investigated short-term and structural factors that were responsible for aggravating the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Indonesian economy and society, identified responses and the effectiveness thereof, and proposed relevant policy recommendations aimed at mitigating the adversity of future natural crises. The research was based on a qualitative research design, which was implemented using the document analysis approach. Specifically, the case study is based on research that evaluated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on education, labor, and SME sectors, as reflected in the macroeconomic indicators of the second quarter of 2020; how that impacted economic projections for 2025, which in turn informed recommendations to align economic performance in the remaining quarters with 2025 goals and targets. The focus of the case study is on the challenges of conducting review research using a qualitative research approach that entailed collecting data on the projected and current performance of macroeconomic indicators amid high economic uncertainty that influenced the frequency of change in reported statistics among credible data sources. Implicitly, the research examined problems that are associated with the forecasting and backcasting approaches in planning during times of rapid change and uncertainty in underlying indicators, and the latter approach can be used to identify adjustments needed to align divergences between the actual performance of macroeconomic indicators and projected long-term outcomes.
