Summary: | The Indonesian economic quarterly
reports on and synthesizes the past three months' key
developments in Indonesia's economy. Its coverage
ranges from the macro economy to financial markets to
indicators of human welfare and development. It is intended
for a wide audience, including policy makers, business
leaders, and financial market participants, and the
community of analysts and professionals engaged in
Indonesia's evolving economy. The challenge for
Indonesia is to maximize the opportunities that this brings,
in terms of enhancing future growth and making investments
that can improve the welfare of the entire population, while
managing the associated risks. Strong capital inflows,
particularly portfolio, have been seen across emerging
markets, including Indonesia. These inflows are driven by
yield differentials and the stronger growth prospects, and
improved creditworthiness, of emerging economies relative to
heavily indebted, higher-income economies. Further
quantitative easing in the US has provided an additional,
cyclical boost to this trend. Global commodity prices also
picked up in recent months. In November, the US dollar price
of non-energy commodities rose by 3.4 percent over the month
with food and raw material prices up by 4.9 percent and 7.6
percent, respectively. The underlying drivers were strong
growth in demand from emerging economies, particularly
China, and also supply disruptions in the agriculture sector. |
