Domestic Update
• The IMF forecasts the economic growth of ASEAN countries to be +4.5%-4.6% YoY in FY23E, higher than the global growth rate of +3.0% YoY. MNCS Comment: We see the potential risk of a global economic slowdown, especially in China and the US. The exposure from the property market and the era of high-interest rates could affect the economic growth of developing countries in the future. However, we maintain our economic growth outlook for Indonesia within the range of 4.9%-5.1% YoY. This growth is expected to be supported, among other things, by a macroeconomic policy mix that promotes stability.
