Indonesia GDP hits better-than-expected 6.4%

Thanks to robust consumption and investment that countered weak net exports.

According to BBVA Research, strong consumption and investment offset weak net exports, resulting in a better-than-expected second quarter GDP outturn of 6.4% y/y. Growth has been supported, in part, by surging foreign investment, which rose by 30.2% y/y in the second quarter (US$5.9bn). Today’s positive outturn will likely cause Bank Indonesia to keep interest rates steady to help keep a lid on inflation and in view of recent currency weakness.

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.
