The Today's Headlines section of Indonesia Investments is a regularly updated section which contains the latest information with regard to topics that are currently causing headlines in Indonesia's media. Most of our headlines cover political, economic and social matters. As a consequence of their recent nature, these topics may not have crystallized fully yet and can, therefore, lack a profound analysis. For publications with a more in-depth understanding of subjects, we refer you to our News, Financial or Business columns.
Again, and in contrast to our expectations, Indonesia’s consumer price index showed deflation. After 0.03 percent month-on-month (m/m) of deflation in May 2024, the latest data from Indonesia’s Statistical Office (Badan Pusat Statistik, or BPS) show a 0.08 percent (m/m) deflation rate in June 2024.
In last month’s report we saw that Indonesia’s official economic growth rate was (in line with expectations) quite strong at 5.11 percent year-on-year (y/y) in Q1-2024. Moreover, last month we also saw that most of the macroeconomic data point at the continuation of strong growth in Q2-2024 (with the only major exception being the country’s car sales data that still showed deep red numbers).
On Friday 05 July 2024, Indonesia Investments released the June 2024 edition of its monthly report. The report zooms in on the latest economic, political and social developments that (potentially) impact on the investment environment of Indonesia.
Before we discuss Indonesia’s May 2024 trade data, we first need to go back to the previous month as Indonesia’s Statistical Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS) made a significant revision to the country’s April 2024 import data.
