International developments continue to shape Indonesia’s near-term economic outlook, but the focus of attention has shifted. In late 2011 the primary concern was the deteriorating and uncertain outlook for the global economy and financial markets. The recent sharp rise in global oil prices has added a new dimension to the situation, raising the projected cost of Indonesia’s fuel subsidies.
However, to date Indonesia’s growth performance has remained solid. GDP growth in the first quarter of 2012 was 6.3 percent year-on-year, down slightly from 6.5 percent in 2011 as a whole. Consumption held up well in the first quarter of 2012, investment growth came down while net exports made a negative contribution to growth.
Indonesia was among the top 10 improvers globally in this year’s Doing Business report. Indonesia’s ranking improved from 106 in 2016 to 91 in 2017, thanks in particular to a record seven reforms that eased starting a business, getting electricity paying taxes, registering property, getting credit, enforcing contracts and trading across borders.
Electricity price hikes in 2017 for 900 VA users have contributed to an increase in inflation to 3.9 percent for the first five months of the year. The effects of higher energy costs have been partially offset by lower food inflation. This year’s inflation is expected to average 4.3 percent, remaining within Bank Indonesia’s inflation target band.
Tourism is a promising sector to boost the country’s growth. Growth in this sector could help unlock private investment, create jobs, boost exports and guide infrastructure investments. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, every $1 million in travel and tourism spending supports around 200 jobs and $1.7 million in GDP for Indonesia.
