Indonesia's already subpar GDP growth dips to new low in Q2

It fell to 4.67% in Q2.

Indonesia's already subpar GDP figures fell to a new low in the second quarter.

The archipelago's Q2 GDP print registered a 4.67% year-on-year growth, slower than the 4.7% growth booked in the first quarter.

According to OCBC, this marks another low for Indonesia’s growth data since the dip of the post-Lehman days.

Indonesia's growth is hampered by weak consumer sentiment, persistent oil price declines, and the depreciating rupiah.

"At 4.67%, Indonesia’s Q2 GDP data shows that things have not picked up much at all, compared to the already-disappointing performance in Q1. It will now take a heroic surge in H2 for Indonesia to even register a 5.0% annual growth for this year. A feat that will have to depend on just how quickly the government can get their acts together," said OCBC.

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.
