Indonesian economy to grow 6.3% in 2013: BBVA forecast

Higher than 2012 growth of 6.2%

The forecast came as Indonesia posted solid Q4 GDP growth on robust domestic demand, notes BBVA. Q4 GDP growth came in at 6.1% y/y (consensus: 6.2% y/y).

"Though the outturn was slightly below expectations, full year growth remained high at 6.2%, the third highest in Asia (behind China and the Philippines), on resilience in domestic demand. ASEAN countries continue to be strong performers in the region, and for Indonesia we expect to see a slight increase in growth in 2013, to 6.3%, on improving exports and increased government spending. Bank Indonesia has projected growth to pick up to 6.3%-6.8% in 2013," said BBVA.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
