Against a backdrop of sticky inflation and a weakening rupiah, Bank Indonesia (BI) maintained its benchmark policy rate at 7.50% at its September monetary policy meeting. The central bank is likely to hold off on interest rate cuts until early-2016, when more favourable inflation data should provide a sufficient buffer for BI to ease interest rate in order to bolster growth. Meanwhile, the rupiah will continue to face downward pressure as the government struggles to boost investor confidence.

Indonesian President Jokowi's move to reshuffle his cabinet and replace key economic ministers with technocrats will be positive for Indonesia's economy. However, we note that the positive effects will only be realised over the medium term; as such, we maintain our forecast for Indonesia's GDP growth to come in at 4.8% in 2015.

Indonesia's economy is undergoing a difficult transition as it shifts from a commodities export-led model, to one that is more sustainable, i.e. export-oriented industrialisation. In order to achieve our average real GDP growth forecast of 5.8% per annum over the next five years, improved reform momentum and faster infrastructure development will be necessary.

Indonesia's budget deficit as a share of GDP will likely come in around 2.3% in 2015, before widening slightly to 2.5% in 2016. Over the near-term, we expect the fiscal deficit to remain slightly elevated as the government attempts to spur economic growth by spending on infrastructure projects.
