Domestic Update
• The government is reported to raise subsidized fuel prices on Wednesday (31/08/22). The price of Pertalite is said to increase to a maximum of IDR10,000/liter and subsidized diesel in the range of IDR8,500-10,000/liter. MNCS Comment: The increase in subsidized fuel prices has an impact on rising inflation. If a significant increase in inflation is accompanied by a tightening of monetary policy, it will have a negative impact on the valuation of financial assets, both bonds and stocks.
• Furthermore, the national Covid-19 daily rate had increased by 5,070 active cases (30/08).
