Abstract

Indonesia still faces various economic problems. In line with this, economic development theory emphasizes that the solution to these problems is to encourage economic growth through the availability of public infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the effect of telecommunications infrastructure, road infrastructure, and electricity on Indonesia's economic growth during the period 2014-2023. The type of research used is quantitative research using an associative method with panel data. The data used is secondary data with a multiple linear regression research model processed using the Eviews 13 program. The findings of this study are that, partially, telecommunications infrastructure and road infrastructure have a positive and significant relationship, while electricity infrastructure has a positive but insignificant relationship.
