Stronger Growth Amid External Headwinds Despite the increasingly protectionist stance in US trade policies, we still expect Indonesia’s economy to grow at a slightly faster pace of 5.3% YoY this year, compared with 5.1% YoY in 2017. This is premised on the country’s limited exposure to the value chain, and on account of a pick-up in government spending, as the 2019 presidential election nears. Stronger growth in investments, and a marginal improvement in consumption growth during the year would also help. Economist: Rizki Fajar| +6221 2970 7065 | ||||
