Investors Are Falling For Indonesia Again

Bericht door beras » wo mar 26, 2014 4:33 am

Now there are hopes that Indonesia’s economy is set for another upswing as interest rates and inflation fall. And there are high hopes that the country’s presidential front-runner, Joko Widodo, or Jokowi as he’s known to locals, can help spur growth by delivering on desperately-needed infrastructure investment. Both of these things have helped make Indonesia one of the world’s best performing markets year-to-date, up 23% in US dollar terms. That’s right: one of the “fragile five” has killed it in 2014. Unsurprisingly, stockbrokers have been falling over themselves to upgrade Indonesia.

The economy gradually healed, helped by the start of the commodities boom. In 2004, a portly, former military man, SBY, came to power. He got in due to his strong military background, yet clean, corruption-free reputation. It also helped that Indonesian women thought he was good-looking too.

SBY can take a lot of credit for the political stability and thriving democracy which ensued.

Indonesia has gone from being part of the “fragile five” to a quasi market darling.
- Hopes are high that the economy has bottomed and the presidential nomination of Jokowi will soon bring much-needed economic reform.

- These hopes appear over-optimistic given the risks from a China downturn to Indonesia’s economy and Jokowi’s limited capacity to push through reform.

Ik zal maar niet weer te hard "Hidup Indonesia" roepen. Afwachten maar! Een positieve trend is wel duidelijk waarneembaar, politieke stabiliteit en verdere positieve democratische processen en ook de positieve economische ontwikkeling. Maar, er moet inderdaad nog veel veranderen hier.

Comment of M. Brower on Facebook:

Disagree Indonesia is dirt cheap compared to Singapore Hong Kong Tokyo Seoul Osaka Beijing Shanghai and vietnam is still a quasi communist regime, Cambodia is primitive, Malaysia is overpriced and Thailand is on the verge of civil war so Indonesia wins by default

Door de Quantitive Easening in de VS is er veel geld naar indonesie gestroomd, maar nu de FED de QE terugdraaid zal er veel geld uit Indonesie stromen anders hoe moet ik de negatieve Current-Account Balance verklaren.

En over de mogelijkheden in Indonesie. die mogellijkheden worden nog altijd door de cronies benut, zij die de beste connecties met de overheid hebben. Kijkt U maar naar de crony-capitalism index van de Economist, daar staat Indonesie op de 10 de plaats, de cronies verdienen hun geld in natuurlijke rijkdommen en vastgoed, dus oppassen met investeren in Indonesie
