Summary: | Indonesia's economic performance
through mid-2011 has been positive. Solid growth has been
accompanied by further portfolio capital and foreign direct
investment inflows. Public and financial sector balance
sheets remain strong. However, events over the past quarter
serve as a reminder of a number of Indonesia's ongoing
policy challenges. At the same time, the launch of the
government's master plan 2011-2025 has focused
attention on the investments and policy reforms which can
help Indonesia reach its future growth potential. Finally,
heightened international risk aversion originating from the
Greek debt crisis, and the potential market implications of
any haircut, were it to occur, are a reminder of the
external shocks which could prompt reversals of short-term
capital flows to Indonesia. However, events over the past
quarter are a reminder of the current challenges which are
faced and the need to put in place, and implement, the
policies and investments necessary for Indonesia to reach
its potential as a leading global growth driver of the next
few decades. |
