Indonesia's economic growth picks up

This is on the back of a strong 30.2% growth for total foreign direct investments in the second quarter.

OCBC noted:

Indonesia’s economic growth picked up to 6.37% yoy in 2Q12 against the revised 6.32% yoy from the previous quarter. This comes on the back of a strong 30.2% growth to USD 5.9bn for its total FDI in Q2, with most of the inflows concentrated in mining and base chemicals.

M2 growth reached a 13-year high of 20.9% yoy in May, suggesting underlying inflationary pressures remain prevalent in the economy, driven by a strong loan growth amidst robust domestic demand.

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.
