The central bank (Bank Indonesia/BI) expects Indonesia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the second quarter (Q2) of 2017 to be not as high as prediction because there has been a correction in Indonesia’s export performance. Earlier BI said to expect Indonesia’s economic growth to range between 5.1-5.2% year-on-year (y/y) in the second quarter of the year. Indonesia’s export performance has weakened in Q2-2017, while non-construction investment remained bleak. Therefore, the actual figure may have difficulty to reach 5.1% (y/y).
