Indonesia GDP hits better-than-expected 6.4%

Thanks to robust consumption and investment that countered weak net exports.

According to BBVA Research, strong consumption and investment offset weak net exports, resulting in a better-than-expected second quarter GDP outturn of 6.4% y/y. Growth has been supported, in part, by surging foreign investment, which rose by 30.2% y/y in the second quarter (US$5.9bn). Today’s positive outturn will likely cause Bank Indonesia to keep interest rates steady to help keep a lid on inflation and in view of recent currency weakness.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
