Indonesia GDP growth dips to 5.02% in Q3

Demand-side private consumption slipped to 1.2% in Q3 due to weak spending.

Indonesia’s GDP for Q3 slowed down to 5.02% YoY from 5.05% in the previous quarter, marking its slowest pace in two years, according to an HSBC report.

The reversal in election spending in Q2 partly reflected on the decline in demand-side private consumption from 1.4% in Q2 to 1.2% in Q3, which was already brought down by weak coal and palm oil prices and a nosedive in social assistance spending.

Momentum on gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) growth rose to 1.8% QoQ in Q3 from 0.7% in H1 2019 in line with growing capital goods exports in July.

Net exports accelerated to 1.8ppt YoY as imports crashed -8.6% YoY due to dim consumer goods and raw material imports.

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.
