What Do We Discuss in the Report?

What can be considered the main theme of the October 2025 edition is the troubles that are faced by ambitious, capital-intensive investment projects. We zoom in on the Whoosh project (the high-speed rail line between Jakarta and Bandung) and the Titan project (which is to establish an end-to-end nickel-to-battery supply chain across Indonesia). The problems that are being experienced by these projects might expose some deeper, underlying (structural) bottlenecks in Indonesia's business and investment environment.

Another interesting article zooms in on the expenditure patterns of Indonesian households. What are the food and non-food products (or services) Indonesians generally allocate most money to? What are the differences in household expenditures between urban and rural areas? These are two examples of questions that are analyzed in the article.

Other articles mostly involve updates on economic indicators, such as inflation, retail sales, consumer confidence, credit growth, car/motorcycle sales and manufacturing activity. These data give us valuable information about the performance of the Indonesian economy.
