Abstract

The main themes for Indonesian economy in the second quarter of 2016 revolve around subdued global growth, struggle to accelerate growth, and challenges for export diversification. As commodities oversupply, particularly for steel, oil, and coal, continued for the first half of this year, we do not expect prices to be high enough to actually help export and growth in the near future. Without any indication for the return to pre-2008, or even pre-2014 commodities prices in the near future, this should put renewed sense of urgency on the part of government to diversify exports and strengthen Indonesia's position in global value chain. The Q1 economic growth has demonstrated that significantly more efforts are needed to achieve government's growth target of 7%. We expect the challenge of growth acceleration will also be highlighted by Q2 economic data that are to be released. We expect modest improvement in overall growth to 5.0%.
