Indonesia June consumer confidence index soars to 114.4

Indonesia reached a 5-month high despite 8% slip in May retail sales growth.

According to OCBC, the domestic economy remains on decent footing for now, as consumer confidence index reached a 5-month high of 114.4 in June, even if retail sales growth has slipped to 8% yoy in May from 11.7% previously.

Here's more from OCBC:

There is also lesser risk from inflationary pressures going forward, as falling commodity prices have prompted inflation to remain relatively stable at 4.6% in June. Near-term risk for the economy stems from a deterioration in its trade balance.

Exports growth slowed further to -8.6% yoy in May and the trade balance was in the deficit for a second consecutive month. This may be a potential risk to Indonesia’s external liquidity in the short term, and may undershoot the recently revised down 1-2% exports growth target 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.
