Indonesia gets go-ahead for 2013 budget

The budget signals possible adjustments in fuel and electricity subsidies.

According to OCBC, the parliament has approved the 2013 budget, affirming the 6.8% yoy GDP growth, 4.9% yoy inflation and 1.65% budget deficit targets for next year. The budget also indicates that spending for fuel and electricity subsidies can be adjusted if there is a difference between actual and assumed prices.

"Meanwhile, OECD said that a key to boost Indonesia’s growth productivity going forward is to encourage increased efficiency in small businesses in the country, given that this is a source for employment growth in the longer-term," OCBC added.

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.
