Macroeconomic Highlights Indonesia was selected as the region most active business reformer in East Asia and the Pacific according to Doing Business Index 2010 as surveyed by International Financial Corporation (IFC). Indonesia’s rank moved up from 129 to 122 in the index. Indonesia considered as one of few countries in the front row of economic recovery,with the resilient growth over the last 2 years. One of the rare countries which successfully post a positive growth rate in 2009, third fastest growing economy in the G20. Even during the peak of global economic slowdown, the economy was still able to generate a positive growth of 4.4% in Q1-2009 and 4.0% in Q2-2009. Banking industry has stayed resilient with high level of CAR (17.0%) and NPL (gross) at a subdued level of 4.7% (latest data as of July 2009) Indonesia's current account posted a US$3.1 billion surplus in Q2/2009, up from the US$2.9 billion surplus in the previous quarter, brought the overall balance of payments to record a surplus to US$1.1 billion, to further increased the level of International reserves to US$57.6 billion, equivalent to about 5.5 months of imports and official debt service payments. The rupiah exchange rates have been showing an appreciation trend, mainly supported by continuing of global economic recovery and domestic economic performance. During August 2009, the rupiah appreciated 1.3% on average from Rp10,098 against USD to Rp9,966 against USD. To Rupiah appreciated to Rp. 9,720 against USD by September 28, 2009. CPI inflation up to August 2009 (y-t-d) is recorded only by 1.22% (2.75%, y-o-y). The decline in inflationary pressures was mainly driven by the low administered price and volatile food inflation in line with government policy to adjust the price subsidized fuel at the beginning of the year and the adequacy of supply and smooth distribution.
Macroeconomic Highlights Fiscal policy is adopting the need to stimulate the economy and will continue in a slower pace in 2010. Tax policy reform continue with lower tariff and higher compliance. 2010 budget provides fiscal space for next government to implement their priority programs. The latest monthly Board of Governors’ Meeting convened in September 2009 decided to leave the BI Rate unchanged at the low level of 6,50%, which considered adequate to the economic recovery process. At 6.50%, the BI Rate level is also deemed consistent with achievement of the 2010 inflation target, set at 5%±1%. Moody’s Investors Service just upgraded Indonesia’s foreign and local-currency sovereign debt ratings to Ba2 with stable outlook. The upgrade was prompted by the Indonesian economy’s relatively strong resilience to the global recession as well as its healthy medium-term growth prospects.
Economic Growth Sustained The economic growth is relatively strong compared to regional economies. • During 2007 - 2008, the economy performed steadily at 6,2% in average which was the highest GDP growth after Asian crisis. However, in Q4-2008, Indonesia’s economic performance began to moderate as an impact of the global economic downturn. • Furthermore, GDP growth in Q1-2009 and Q2-2009 were 4,4% and 4,0% (yoy), lower than the preceding year. The softening GDP growth was largely the result of sharply falling in export, commensurate with the deterioration in global economic condition and its impact on purchasing power. Despite this, economic activity fuelled by the national election activities is expected to keep the domestic economy from further decline.

Inflation has Been Trending Downward • In line with slowing demand, globally and domestically, we estimate subdued inflationary pressure in 2009. Against this backdrop, CPI inflation in 2009 is predicted to be in the target range 4.5%+1%. • Looking forward, inflation in 2010 is forecasted to return to normal alongside renewed strength in domestic economic activity and commodity prices. Thus, Bank Indonesia will continue monitoring global economic developments and taking the necessary measures to safeguard macroeconomic stability while maintaining a conducive climate for the economy. • To enhance the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission, BI will encourage systemically important banks (SIBs) to play significant role as market leaders in setting the deposit and credit rates. BI will also encourage banks to continue extending credit to the real sector, without abandoning prudential banking policy.
