Global Economic Prospects and Policy Challenges Andin Hadiyanto March 8, 2010
Agenda • Global Economic Prospects and Policy Challenges • Indonesia’s Economic Performance and Outlook • Fiscal Policy and State Budget for 2009 and 2010 • Conclusion 2
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • The global recovery accelerated and broadened during the second and third quarters of 2009, with emerging economies continuing to contribute a large share to overall G-20 growth. • The strong rebound in Asia is mainly driven by China, India and other emerging Asian economies, including Indonesia Global Growth (Percent, Q to Q annualized) World Trade Indices 4
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • Recovery in advanced economies is being largely driven by extraordinary policy support and the turn in the inventory cycle, with strong domestic demand and higher commodity prices adding to the growth impetus in key emerging economies. Assessing Growth Momentum 5
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • Financial market conditions continue to improve, but bank credit is likely to remain sluggish in many advanced G-20 economies, while some sovereign debt markets are facing growing pressures. Credit Default Swap Spreads (in basis points; 5 year)
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • For emerging economies, surging capital inflows are complicating the policy response to rapid recoveries Emerging Market External Bond and Equity Issuance (in bio US$) Emerging Market Syndicated Loans Issuance (in bio US$) 7
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • The multispeed nature of the recovery, renewed risk appetite and, rebounding capital flows to emerging economies have led to important exchange rate changes • Commodity prices increased strongly at the onset of the recovery, driven largely by buoyant growth in emerging economies, particularly in Asia.

A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • Advanced economy inflation remains subdued and expectations well anchored, but upward pressures have come to the fore in some emerging economies. Headline CPI Inflation
A Policy-Driven Multispeed Recovery • Unemployment has stabilized in the major advanced economies and begun to decline across many emerging economies. Unemployment Rate (percent)
Global Economic Prospects World Economic Outlook Projection 2010 - 2011 • The speed of recovery is expected to vary considerably across G-20 countries, with weaker and more fragile growth in advanced economies contrasting with robust expansions in most emerging economies, particularly in Asia. • Inflation is expected to remain contained in most advanced economies due to increasing unemployment and large output gaps, but some emerging economies will face ongoing upward inflationary pressures.
Global Economic Prospects • Projections for public finances diverge significantly, with deteriorations continuing in advanced economies and more favorable prospects for emerging economies. Outlook for Public Finances (Percent to GDP)
Policy Challenges: Macroeconomic Policies • In the major advanced G-20 economies there will be a need for continued policy stimulus until private demand gathers sustainable momentum. • In some advanced and major emerging economies in the G-20, policy stimulus will likely need to be unwound sooner than in major advanced economies and unwinding is already underway in some. • Policymakers in all countries should remain proactive in preparing their exits from extraordinary stimulus, recognizing the challenge of mapping a course between exiting too early and too late. • Exiting from crisis-related public support policies should be viewed in the context of bridging towards strong, sustained and balanced growth with price stability. Advanced economies • In most advanced G-20 economies, ensuring fiscal sustainability is a key priority and policy challenge, notably in light of the surge in government debt levels. • While provision of fiscal support will need to be maintained until the recovery gains a solid footing, advanced G-20 governments should lay out credible medium-term plans to reduce public debt ratios. • Monetary policy can remain accommodative in the major advanced countries, but central banks need to prepare and clearly communicate credible strategies for unwinding the extraordinary monetary policy support.
Policy Challenges: Macroeconomic Policies Emerging Economies • In major emerging (and some advanced) economies experiencing faster recoveries, including those with sufficient fiscal space, the desirable policy mix may be different. • Some emerging market countries will also have to design policies to manage a surge of capital inflows. • Greater exchange rate flexibility would help reduce capital inflows and facilitate rebalancing in major emerging surplus economies. • Countries may choose to limit exchange rate appreciation and accumulate reserves, but this is not a long-term solution. • Monetary and fiscal policies can help to reduce inflows. • Domestic prudential regulation can help limit the risks from inflows, while capital controls can slow inflows down.
Policy Challenges: Financial Sector Policies • The nature of the policy challenge in advanced G-20 economies is shifting towards an unwinding of extraordinary support measures and laying the foundation for a more robust and efficient financial system. • Major work still remains to repair the damage and reduce the distortions, wrought by the crisis on the financial system. • Recent proposals of some G-20 countries may help to reduce systemic risks, provided they are part of broader, coordinated regulatory reforms. • The timing of exits from financial support policies should remain conditional on the strength and stability of the underlying activity. • Designing and implementing financial sector reform will require a high degree of domestic and cross-border coordination. • The exit from the extraordinary support measures implemented in the crisis must lead to a financial system that is safer as well as sufficiently innovative to support strong, sustained, and balanced growth. • Most emerging economies face fewer challenges in exiting from crisis interventions but they too must aim to strengthen their financial stability frameworks.
Summary • The global recovery is off to a stronger start than anticipated earlier, but it is proceeding at different speeds in the various regions. • The speed of recovery is expected to vary considerably across G-20 countries, with weaker and more fragile growth in advanced economies contrasting with robust expansions in emerging economies, particularly in Asia. • Risks to the outlook are on balance moderately to the downside. • A multispeed recovery means that policy challenges vary across countries. • Policymakers need to formulate and begin to implement strategies for exiting from crisis-related intervention policies. • Some emerging market countries will have to design policies to manage a surge of capital inflows.
