Indonesia's Strong Economy Faces Risks Amid Global Uncertainty and Weak Fiscal Revenues
The Indonesian economy is doing well, with strong growth, low deficits, and low inflation. Despite global uncertainties, the economy grew in 2016 due to higher private spending. The future looks good too, with global growth and commodity prices expected to rise, boosting investment and exports. However, risks like trade policy changes, U.S. monetary policy shifts, and weak fiscal revenues could cause problems. In Q4 2016, GDP growth slowed slightly, with government spending down but investment and exports up.
