Indonesia gets go-ahead for 2013 budget

The budget signals possible adjustments in fuel and electricity subsidies.

According to OCBC, the parliament has approved the 2013 budget, affirming the 6.8% yoy GDP growth, 4.9% yoy inflation and 1.65% budget deficit targets for next year. The budget also indicates that spending for fuel and electricity subsidies can be adjusted if there is a difference between actual and assumed prices.

"Meanwhile, OECD said that a key to boost Indonesia’s growth productivity going forward is to encourage increased efficiency in small businesses in the country, given that this is a source for employment growth in the longer-term," OCBC added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
