Indonesia Economic Outlook
February 25, 2020
Growth clocked 5.0% again in the final quarter of 2019. While the domestic economy was weak, as ebbing government consumption and fixed investment outweighed upbeat private consumption, the external sector continued to support the economy due to a further sharp fall in imports, amid the government’s import substitution policies. Meanwhile, early signs in 2020 are downbeat: In January, the manufacturing PMI continued to signal worsening operating conditions, exports fell and consumer confidence declined amid rising fears over the coronavirus outbreak. Moreover, the virus is likely now affecting the external sector via reduced Chinese demand. In politics, the government introduced the omnibus bill—which aims to cut red tape and attract more foreign investment—to Parliament in mid-February. However, certain elements of the bill, such as changes to labor laws, could generate opposition.Indonesia Economic Growth
Growth is seen broadly stable this year. Fixed investment growth should accelerate on stronger government infrastructure spending, although this will be offset by a recovery in imports and the coronavirus weighing on the external sector. A potential worsening of the viral outbreak poses a downside risk, while the passage of the omnibus bill is an upside risk. FocusEconomics panelists expect GDP growth of 5.0% in 2020, which is down 0.1 percentage points from last month’s forecast, and 5.2% in 2021.Indonesia Economy Data
