Indonesia’s economic growth slowed to 5.6%

Its weakest pace since 4Q09.

According to UOB Economic-Treasury Research, Indonesia’s GDP growth slowed to 5.6% y/y in 3Q13 from 5.8% y/y in 2Q13, the weakest pace since 4Q09. The outcome was in line with market’s and our forecast.

Here's more:

The main drag came from higher imports which more than offset the contribution from stronger export growth. Nonetheless, private consumption demand in 3Q surprised on the upside, improving despite the huge increase in domestic fuel prices.

Fixed investment also maintained steady expansion even though domestic interest rates rose
sharply during the quarter. Overall, we expect the economic growth to remain lackluster in the fourth quarter with full-year growth at 5.7% compared to 6.2% in 2012.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
