Economic Outlook
Stronger Growth In 2018 As Election Years Approach   As domestic demand strengthens, we expect the local economy to grow at a slightly faster pace of 5.3% in 2018, compared with the 5.1% estimated for 2017. This is on account of a pick-up in government spending, as 2019’s presidential election gets closer, aided by stronger investment growth during the year.   Economist: Arup Raha  | +65 6232 3896 Rizki Fajar| +6221 2970 7065
