DENPASAR – Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas) once again demonstrated its dominance as the best campus in Bali through strategic participation at the national level. On Tuesday, 21 April 2026, the Rector of Undiknas attended the prestigious invitation in person for “Balinomics Update: Bali’s Economic Policy and Economic Dynamics Amid Geopolitical Turmoil”. The presence of this top leader reinforces the #Undiknasexcels spirit in responding to crucial issues affecting the wider community.

The synergy between academics and monetary authorities is essential for maintaining financial stability on the Island of the Gods.

Bali Economic Strategy 2026: Behind the Shadows of the Middle East War

The world is currently anxious about the impact of aggression in the Middle East, which is predicted to suppress global economic growth to 3.1%. The war has triggered a surge in crude oil prices worldwide, which in turn affects the rise in aviation fuel costs and airfares. Bali, as a major global tourist destination, must now prepare for a potential decline in international visitors, especially from Europe. Nevertheless, Bali’s economy recorded strong growth of 5.82% in 2025, which provides valuable capital to face the challenges of 2026. Efforts to stabilise food and energy prices are a primary focus of Bank Indonesia in keeping inflation under control on the Island of the Gods.

Outstanding Achievement! Undiknas Selected for the National Centrality Scholarship Programme

Amidst heated economic discussions, proud news arrived for the entire academic community of Undiknas as this year’s #excelsuniversity. Undiknas has been officially selected for the national central education scholarship programme in 2026 initiated by the central bank. This remarkable achievement is a clear recognition of Undiknas’ educational quality and credibility as #thebestuniversityBali. Through this programme, students will have a golden opportunity to delve deeply into monetary policy and payment systems. This proves that Undiknas not only focuses on theory but is also actively shaping future economic leaders.

Digitalisation and Innovation: The Main Weapons Against Inflation and Uncertainty

Bank Indonesia, through Balinomics 2026, underscores the importance of expanding the digital ecosystem to maintain the purchasing power of Bali’s residents. The digitalisation of traditional markets and the implementation of e-ticketing across various Tourist Destination Areas (DTW) are being continually accelerated to enhance efficiency. Moreover, the use of Cross Border QRIS has become an innovative solution to simplify foreign tourists’ transactions in Bali. The Rector of Undiknas highly appreciates these strategic measures as effective efforts to mitigate inflation risks. With solid collaboration, this leading Balinese campus is optimistic that the regional economy will remain resilient despite global geopolitical challenges.
