Indonesia GDP growth forecast at 6% yoy

Latest domestic car sales hit a record high amidst strong domestic growth.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

The strong domestic growth story remains the fundamental support for Indonesia this year and indications remain robust on this front, with the latest domestic car sales hitting a record high and survey results from Nielsen also very much supportive to growth momentum ahead.

Stepping into H2 2012, we saw 3 main risks to growth prospect this year, namely higher inflationary pressure, the sustained pressure on the IDR to weaken and a worsening Eurozone crisis. Out of these 3, only the first risk seems to have eased in recent months, but an increasingly gloomy outlook of the Eurozone continues to weigh on Indonesia’s growth prospect ahead.

The upcoming export growth numbers will be crucial on this front, and it remains to be seen if the Trade Ministry’s rather upbeat outlook will pan out. At this juncture, we maintain our GDP growth forecast at 6.0% yoy for 2012.

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.
