This study examines the evolving global geopolitical landscape and its implications for Indonesia's diplomacy, focusing on economic, political, and security dimensions. The intensifying rivalry between the United States and China has reshaped global trade, investment flows, and regional security dynamics, posing both challenges and opportunities for Indonesia. Politically, Indonesia must navigate regional tensions, such as the South China Sea dispute, while reinforcing its leadership within ASEAN. Economically, global uncertainties stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and energy crises necessitate a more proactive economic diplomacy strategy to attract investment and strengthen trade partnerships. In the security domain, emerging threats such as cyber warfare, climate change, and terrorism underscore the urgency of Indonesia's active engagement in international security frameworks. This research employs a qualitative methodology, using a literature review of policy documents, academic publications, and international reports to assess Indonesia's current diplomatic efforts and their effectiveness in addressing the changing global order. The findings indicate that Indonesia faces three primary challenges: maintaining strategic neutrality in great-power competition, ensuring regional stability, and enhancing economic resilience. Strengthening multilateral diplomatic engagements and leveraging Indonesia's position within regional and international organizations is essential for the country to navigate these geopolitical transformations effectively and safeguard its national interests in an increasingly complex global environment.

This study examines the impact of the Central Bank of Nigeria's monetary policies on the Nigerian economy, specifically how these policies can be applied to foster economic growth. The research employs multiple regression models as the primary statistical method to analyze the relationship between key variables: money supply, average price levels, interest rates, labor force, and their effects on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Using data from 1981 to 2008, the study applies the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method to assess these effects comprehensively. The findings indicate that monetary policy, as reflected by money supply, positively influences GDP growth and improves the balance of payments, while also having a negative impact on inflation rates. The study suggests that the Nigerian money market should introduce a broader range of financial instruments to cater to the growing economy’s needs. Additionally, the recommendations emphasize the importance of designing monetary policies that create a favorable investment climate by adjusting interest rates, currency rates, and liquidity management mechanisms. By fostering a well-regulated and flexible monetary system, the Central Bank can further enhance the economic stability and growth of Nigeria, supporting sustainable development in the long term.

Public enthusiasm for government bonds is high due to the view that such investments are considered more saving and promising. In 1950 the government issued ORI with interest of 3% per year, but the bonds failed to pay because the government at that time did not have enough money so that many investors holding bonds as Government Debt Instruments experienced losses. In this research, a juridical analysis of the position of the parties in Government Debt Instruments (SUN) was carried out and an analysis of the form of legal protection for holders of Government Debt Instruments (SUN) in the risk of default provided by the government. The research method used in writing this law is normative juridical, with a statutory approach. There are findings that installments of principal and interest on state debt securities will be included as expenditure items in the APBN each year. In the event that the risk of default does not sever the civil relationship between the SUN Issuer and the SUN holder as an Investor in a civil relationship, investors who suffer losses based on their civil rights can file a lawsuit for default due to the risk of default.

The main goal of this research is to examine how interest in investing in the Sharia market is influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. A thorough grasp of financial concepts that adhere to Islamic law, such as riba, zakat, and the idea of fairness in financial transactions, is necessary for Islamic financial literacy. Islamic financial literacy may have a significant role in investing choices, as shown by the rising knowledge of halal and Sharia-compliant assets. 200 respondents—both current and potential investors in the Sharia capital market—were given questionnaires as part of this study's quantitative methodology. Higher interest in investing in Sharia capital market products like sukuk and Sharia mutual funds is positively correlated with higher levels of Islamic financial literacy, according to the study's findings. These results underline the need of more comprehensive Islamic financial education initiatives to raise public awareness and aid in the growth of Indonesia's Sharia capital market. In order to stimulate investment interest, it is also determined that improvements in Sharia investment products and supporting regulations are essential. Thus, this research comes to the conclusion that promoting a more inclusive Islamic economy and developing the Sharia capital market may both be greatly aided by increasing Islamic financial literacy. This study shows that interest in investing in the Sharia capital market is strongly influenced by Islamic financial knowledge. Sharia-compliant investment products like sukuk (Islamic bonds) and Sharia mutual funds are more likely to be chosen by investors who have a firm grasp of Islamic financial concepts like riba (usury), zakat (almsgiving), and profit-sharing. The research emphasizes the value of thorough financial education initiatives and easily available information in raising public awareness of Islamic finance. It is anticipated that these initiatives would boost more inclusive and sustainable economic development in Indonesia and raise participation in the Sharia capital market.

This study aims to analyze the effect of BI Rate, Rupiah exchange rate, and accounting profit on the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) in Indonesia. As one of the main indicators in the capital market, IHSG reflects the overall stock market performance and is influenced by various macro and micro economic factors. BI Rate as the reference interest rate, Rupiah exchange rate as an indicator of currency exchange rate, and accounting profit as a measure of company performance have high relevance to the movement of IHSG. This study uses a literature review method by referring to various previous studies that discuss the relationship between these variables. The results of the analysis show that the three variables have a significant influence on IHSG, both directly and indirectly. BI Rate and Rupiah exchange rate affect IHSG through financial market mechanisms, while accounting profit is more related to investment decisions and individual company performance. These findings provide insight for investors, policy makers, and academics to understand the dynamics of the relationship between economic indicators and stock market performance in Indonesia.

Because interest-bearing deposits are not allowed by Islamic Sharia rules and principles, Islamic banks generally collect deposits in the form of profit-sharing investment accounts. These accounts differ from conventional deposits not only because of the profit-sharing nature of the returns they offer but also because the relationship between the customer and the bank is not a debt contract, so these deposits are not considered 'fixed capital.' (artinya, nasabah dapat menerima hasil negatif atau kerugian). This last characteristic poses serious regulatory issues in jurisdictions where bank deposits are legally required to have a definition of 'certain capital.' In general, the presence of such 'risk-bearing instruments' in the capital structure of Islamic banks complicates the assessment of their capital adequacy. Moreover, the fact that profit-sharing investment account holders are a type of equity investor without the governance rights held by creditors or shareholders poses a significant oversight problem. This article explains these issues in more detail and proposes a solution in the form of a structural distinction between Islamic banks in the narrow sense on one side, and entities managing profit-sharing investment accounts on the other.

The development of the National Capital City (IKN) triggers an increase in demand for goods and services, especially in the construction and basic needs sectors, which can cause a spike in regional and national inflation.

These projects also influence economic distribution, creating investment opportunities, but potentially increasing economic inequality. This research emphasizes the importance of coordination between monetary and fiscal policies to mitigate negative impacts on national economic stability.
