External Debt in Indonesia
Indonesia - External Debt
On the heels of a stable year-on-year GDP growth figure in Q1, the economy appears to be losing momentum in the second quarter. Domestically, private spending likely weakened: Retail sales slowed to an eight-month low in May amid a broad-based deterioration, while inflation rose to its highest level in over three years. Moreover, persistent supply constraints led the manufacturing PMI to moderate notably in May. Similarly, although the external sector likely benefitted from surging commodity prices, merchandise exports growth cooled remarkably in May. The slowdown came after the country implemented a controversial ban on palm oil exports in May, which it quickly reversed after three weeks amid widespread criticism. In response, President Joko Widodo dismissed the trade minister and reshuffled his cabinet on 15 June. Nonetheless, the policy reversal stands to rally exports ahead.Indonesia - External Debt Data
