Indonesia’s Q4 GDP growth: Weakest in three years – ANZ
|In the view of the analysts at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), weakening domestic consumption knocked off the Indonesian GDP growth to its slowest in three years.
Key Quotes:
“Indonesia’s economy ended 2019 on a weak note, with GDP growth moderating further to 4.97% in Q4 from 5.02% y/y in Q3, the softest reading in three years.
Domestic demand continued to soften, while a sharper contraction in imports relative to exports resulted in a boost to net export growth.
Unless commodity prices stage a strong rebound or global growth picks up materially, Indonesia’s growth is likely to remain stuck around the current pace in the coming quarters, in our view.”
