Executive Summary

Executive Summary: Strong Growth Continued
 One of the only 3 economies which generate positive growth in 2009

 The overall picture shows that economic growth remains robust bolstered by a more balanced
growth structure which lead to a strong growth prospect for overall 2010
 The economy maintained brisk growth throughout Q3-2010, driven mainly by household consumption and exports.
Export growth is supported mainly by strong demand from China and India and rising international commodity prices.


 For the whole 2010, economic growth is projected in the range of 6.0%-6.3%. Going forward in 2011, growth is
forecasted at 6.0%-6.5%, driven by continued robust household consumption, improved external sector performance as
the global economy charts further recovery and higher investment.
 The cumulative investment realization up to the 1st semester of 2010 is Rp92.9 trillion or grew by 39.9% (yoy).
Investment is expected to accelerate from the 2nd half of 2010 as demand for additional production capacity
materializes.
 The current surge of capital inflows is attributable to continued improvements in the investor’s sentiment regarding
Indonesia’s promising growth prospects. As a precautionary measures, a policy mix has been implemented and is
sufficient to maintain monetary and financial system stability, amid the surge in capital flows.
 Strengthening performance in exports continues to produce current account surplus in Q3-2010, despite in smaller
amount as compared to the preceding quarter. The capital and financial account again produced a sizeable surplus on
the back of heavy capital inflows that have bolstered the value of rupiah. Taken together, the balance of payments is
expected to chart a hefty surplus in Q3-2010
 International reserves at end of September 2010 rising to USD86.5 billion or equivalent to 6.5 months of imports and
servicing of official debt.

5

Executive Summary: Preserved Macroeconomic Stability
 CPI Inflation in September 2010 reached 0.44% (mtm) or 5.80% (yoy). Pressure mostly stemmed from the surge in the

volatile foods from seasonal effect of recent festivities. Even so, core inflation held at a modest 4.02% (yoy), supported in part
by the appreciating trend in exchange rate.
 BI decided to hold the reference rate at 6.5% in October 2010. The current level of BI Rate is still consistent with
achievement of the inflation target and remains conducive in safeguarding financial stability and promoting bank intermediation
for supply-side response to accelerated demand. Nonetheless, BI has taken note of the rise inflationary pressure amid heavy
inflows of foreign capital and considerable levels of excess liquidity. At this condition, BI regards the economic liquidity
management as a priority.
 Stability in the banking system remains firm alongside steady improvement in credit growth. The solid condition is reflected
in high CAR and subdued level of gross NPLs at below 5%.

 Banking intermediation has strengthened further, as evident in credit growth up to September 2010 which reached 21.2%
(yoy). Up to September 2010, working capital credit has expanded at a faster rate than consumption credit, and looking
forward, credit growth will continue to be channelled into productive sectors. Therefore credit growth for overall 2010 is
forecasted at 22%-24%, in line with the business plans prepared by banks.
 Up to September 2010, almost 90% of the funding requirement for state budget financing has been completed which focused
on domestic source of financing.

6

Executive Summary: Prudent Fiscal Management

With strong foundation of economic fundamental and budgetary achievement in 2009, we are confident
toward the fiscal targets for 2010.
 We continue to perform a prudent fiscal management in 2010 with strong commitment to fiscal consolidation, aiming on:
- continue declining debt-to-GDP ratio

- diversifying government debt profile,
- reducing funding reliance on international capital market.

 In May 2010, the parliament approved the revised budget deficit of US$14.5 billion or 2.1% of GDP which allows for
adequate subsidies due to rising commodity prices and lower tax revenue in line with the tax incentive program to various
sectors
 On the financing front, we continue to diversify our sources of financing requirement and up to September 2010, we have
completed almost 90% of our funding requirement.
 Public debt is generally balanced between domestic and external sources with continued declining proportion of external
debt since 2004.

Improving International Perception


Improving International Perception: Acknowledged by Rating Agencies
Resilient economy, which impressively navigates through the global crisis and with growing confidence in economic outlook, the
Republic continued to receive good reviews, especially from Rating agencies

9



Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd (July 13, 2010): upgraded Indonesia's sovereign rating to Investment Grade from BB+ to BBBwith stable outlook. The first upgrade to reach investment grade in the last 13 years reflects enhanced political and social stability,
sustainable economic growth , alleviated public debt burden as a result of prudent fiscal management, reinforced resilience to external
shocks stemming from the foreign reserves accumulation and an improved capacity for external debt management and efforts made by
the current administration to outline the framework to deal with structural issues such as infrastructure development.



Moody’s Investors Service (June 21, 2010): revised the outlook of Indonesia’s foreign and local-currency Ba2 sovereign debt
ratings to positive from stable. The positive outlook broadly reflects the country's capacity for sustained strong growth, the overall
stability and effectiveness of its fiscal and monetary policies, and expectations of further improvements in the government's financial and
debt position.




S & P (March 12, 2010): upgraded Indonesia’s long-term foreign currency rating to BB from BB- with positive outlook which
indicates that Indonesia has big possibility to be upgraded within a year, even maybe faster. The main factor supporting this decision is
steadily improving debt metrics and growing foreign currency reserves which reduced vulnerability to shock with continued cautious fiscal
management.



Fitch Ratings (January 25, 2010): upgraded the Republic of Indonesia’s sovereign rating to ‘BB+’ from ‘BB’ with stable outlook
The rating action reflects Indonesia’s relative resilience to the severe global financial stress test of 2008-2009 which has been
underpinned by continued improvements in the country’s public finances.

Improving International Perception: Significant Raise in Perception Indices

10



World Economic Forum – The Global Competitiveness Report 2010 – 2011 (September 15, 2010) reported that Indonesia posts

an impressive gain of 10 places, mainly driven by a healthier macroeconomic environment and improved education indictors.
Indonesia considered to successfully maintain a relatively healthy macroeconomic environment throughout the crisis. While most other
countries saw their budget deficits surge, Indonesia kept its deficit under control”



The IMD Competitive Center (May 19, 2010) reports a major improvement in Indonesia's global competitiveness, with
Indonesia moving up from 42nd to 35nd place among a total of 57 major nations surveyed worldwide. For Indonesia, the
improvement in 2010 has been achieved through significant gains in economic performance, followed by government efficiency and
infrastructure improvement.



OECD (April 2, 2010): upgraded Indonesia’s Credit Risk Classification (CRC) from category 5 to 4. This upgrade was a timely
acknowledgement by the developed economies of the consistent economic improvement. This upgrade would significantly improve
Indonesia’s credit standing in front of the creditor countries especially the credit exports creditor countries which eventually would
decrease the debt burden.

Strong Growth Prospect Continues
2010 Forecast

Main Factors Behind The Forecast


With more upbeat confidence to the economy, exports and investment are expected to keep climbing, providing
additional boost to higher consumption in support of higher levels of economic growth.



Looking forward, steady improvement is predicted in global and domestic economic developments. Therefore in
2011, the forecasted rate of growth is 6.0%-6.5%. This growth will be driven by continued robust household
consumption, improved external sector performance as the global economy charts further recovery and higher
investment in tandem with mounting domestic and external demand.




Global economic recovery will produce renewed acceleration in exports. The global economy is predicted to enter
an expansionary phase in 2010. Renewed momentum is predicted in the economies of Indonesia’s major trading
partners. The recovery will induce higher volume of international trade which will accelerate Indonesia’s export. This
strengthened performance will position exports as one of the main engines of economic growth in 2010.



Indonesian exports characteristics which is based on primary commodities has also supported export growth
acceleration.



Household consumption is forecasted to remain strong. The strengthening global economic outlook for 2010 will
given added momentum to Indonesia’s exports, which in turn will produce an overall increase in private incomes.

will remain strong



Higher investment will also contribute to rising incomes, thus paving the way for stronger public purchasing power.

Inflation



Signs of future inflationary pressures until end of 2010 are noted, which mainly predicted from administered prices
and volatile food seasonal uncertainties. However, BI is positive to contain the inflation level within the target
range, and will keep a close watch on the rising inflationary pressure and make the necessary adjustments to
monetary policy responses to ensure that inflation remains on track with the established targeting range at 5%
1% in 2010 and 2011.

Robust and Stable Economy Continues to Chart Positive Growth
Optimistic on high growth prospects


The Indonesian economy grew by 6.2% in Q2-2010 amid persistent risks of global uncertainties, particularly in regard to the slowdown in
China's economy and the outlook for US economic recovery. The major improvement was a result from increase in exports and investment,
while private consumption remained strong.



The Indonesian economy maintained brisk growth throughout Q3-2010, driven mainly by household consumption and exports.
The buoyant level of household consumption has been fuelled by widespread availability of consumer financing, mounting consumer
optimism and low import prices. Alongside this, export growth is driven mainly by strong demand from China and India and rising
international commodity prices. With consumption and exports forging ahead, investment has begun to pick up, as indicated by increased
imports of machinery and raw materials and rising levels of working capital credit.



Looking forward, steady improvement is predicted in global and domestic economic developments. In 2010, economic growth is
projected in the range of 6.0%-6.3%. For 2011, the forecasted rate of growth is 6.0%-6.5%. This growth will be driven by continued robust
household consumption, improved external sector performance as the global economy charts further recovery and higher investment in
tandem with mounting domestic and external demand.

Inflation: Noted Pressure But Core Is Stable
The monetary policy stance is directed towards maintaining consistently low inflation while making adequate provision for
measures to strengthen economic recovery.
Inflation

Inflation Expectation – Consensus Forecast



CPI inflation in September 2010 reached 0.44% (mtm) or 5.80% (yoy). Pressure mostly stemmed from the surge in volatile foods inflation from
seasonal effect of recent festivities. Nevertheless, inflationary pressure reflected in core inflation held at a modest 4.02% (yoy), supported in part by
the appreciating trend in the exchange rate. Similarly, inflationary pressure from administered prices was comparatively low at 5.60% (yoy), due to
the absence of strategic decisions affecting government-set prices during September 2010.



Going forward, BI recognized of the risks that may fuel inflation up to 2011:

The escalating trend in demand, which is growing faster than supply.

Anomalies in weather conditions may persist, with potential to disrupt production and distribution of staple needs.

The possibility of planned increases in administered prices.



BI is keeping a close watch on this potential inflationary pressure and is strengthening policy coordination with the Government at both the central
and regional levels. BI will respond with the policy mix necessary to keep inflation on track with the established target at 5% 1% in 2010 and 2011
and 4.5% + 1% in 2012

stability and promoting bank intermediation for supply-side response to accelerated demand.

Balance of Payments: Preliminary Estimates for Q3-2010
• Current account in Q3/2010 is estimated to post a surplus. However, the surplus will fall short of the Q2/2010 surplus
primarily due to faster pace of import growth compared to export growth as a result of vigorous domestic economic activity, rupiah
appreciation, and lower oil & gas prices. The downturn in the current account is projected to be covered by a significant surplus in
the capital and financial account. The bulk of the surplus will come from portfolio investment in response to abundant global
liquidity and attractive investment yield. In addition, the surplus will also be boosted by FDI inflows in line with sound
macroeconomic outlook and relatively low labor cost.
• With those prospects, overall balance of payments in Q3/2010 is estimated to post a higher surplus than preceding
quarter.
• Accordingly, international reserves at end of Q3/2010 (September) mounted to US$ 86.55 billion (equivalent to 6.5 months of
imports and official external debt service payments).
Official BOP statistics for Q3-2010 will be released on November 2010.

Balance of Payments Q2–2010
Indonesia's Balance of Payments

The current account in Q2/2010 posted
a surplus of about US$1.8 billion,
boosted by upbeat performance in nonoil/gas trade balance, the gas trade
balance and the current transfers. The
surplus was nevertheless down from the
previous quarter (US$2.1 billion surplus)
due to the increased deficit in the oil trade
balance and the income account.
The capital and financial account in
Q2/2010 recorded a surplus at US$3.3
billion. All major components of the
capital and financial account,
encompassing direct investment, portfolio
investment and other investment,
recorded surplus. Despite this, the overall
capital and financial account surplus was
down from the preceding quarter (US$4.3
billion surplus), mainly as a result of
negative spillover effects from the debt
crisis in Europe that have led to reduced
inflows of portfolio investment.

• Financial system stability up to August 2010 is well maintained, confirmed by Financial Stability Index (FSI) which remain
unchanged at 1.84 well below the threshold (2.00) set as an early warning indicator. This indicate the robustness of the Indonesian
financial system. By the end of 2010, we expect FSI to be ranged between 1.45 to 2.02 with a 1.74 baseline, owing to the positive
macroeconomic outlook.
• Banking industry remains in a stable condition and convinced to be run prudently, which is reflected in the well-maintained Capital
Adequacy Ratio (16.3%, as of end of August 2010) and safe level of gross Non-Performing Loans at 3%, as of end of August
2010.

Banking intermediation has strengthened further


Banking Intermediation continues to improve. Loan extensions as of September 2010 recorded at Rp1.6 trillion. Hence,
loan growth has reached 21.2% (yoy). Third party deposits increased, although not as rapidly, with a 14.30% (yoy) growth.



Up to September 2010, working capital credit has expanded at a faster rate than consumption credit, and looking
forward, credit growth will continue to be channelled into productive sectors. Therefore credit growth for overall 2010 is
forecasted at 22%-24%, in line with the business plans prepared by banks. Key to the credit expansion is enhanced
confidence on the economic prospect.

Policy Response to Cope the Challenge in Financial Sector


Stimulating intermediary function through macro and micro-prudential regulatory incentives. In order to
balance growth of the banking sector and the economy as well as financial system stability, Bank Indonesia has and
will enact several policy responses, which covers both macro and micro prudential regulatory incentives as follows:
A.

Regulatory policy concerning Net Open Position
Given the large influx of investment in foreign exchange, Bank Indonesia has relaxed its regulatory stance
with regards to net open position maintenance. In its new policy, Bank Indonesia will allow banks to offset
foreign exchange exposures in their on-balance sheet with the exposures in the off-balance sheet. Hence the
net exposures will be the ones used in the calculation of net open position limit which is 20% of bank’s
capital. Prior to the easing, the limit was calculated separately for on and off balance sheet.

B.

Regulatory policy concerning Minimum Holding Period for SBI and widening the Interbank Market
Corridors
In order to deepen the financial market as well as lessen the volatility of foreign capital flow, BI has widen the
interest rate corridor of the interbank market. The enacment of this policy is expected to deepen the interbank
market as well as to be resulted in a more in tune market rate and aligned to BI rate.
Whilst the policy to introduce the minimum holding period is to lessen the volatility of foreign capital flows
especially with respect to invested foreign portfolio in BI Sertificates (SBI).

Policy Response to Cope the Challenge in Financial Sector
C.

Regulatory policy concerning Rupiah Statutory Reserve
Bank Indonesia decided to raise the primary statutory reserve requirement for rupiah funds to 8% and to
introduce an LDR-based reserve requirement. This policy is intended to curb mounting inflationary pressure
through management of excess banking liquidity. The new reserve requirement has been set in consideration of
the present condition of banking liquidity, hence, does not diminish the capacity of banks to pursue credit
expansion in line with existing bank business plans while upholding prudential banking principles. The LDRbased reserve requirement is established with a range that will promote the banking intermediation function while
upholding prudential banking principles

D.

Policy for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME)
Aside form regulatory policy, Bank Indonesia has also strive to make effort to push the intermediation function
and financial deepening especially targeted for MSME. This policy is conducted through various program such
as:

25



linkage program with rural banks,



establishing business data and information facilities for sectors with high potential, as well as financial
education programs;



Simplification of the Uniform Classification System on Asset Quality for MSME



In cooperation with the Govt. Credit Guarantee Agency, and Several Commercial Banks, Setting up a credit
guarantee scheme for MSME and KUR;



Lowering of Risk Weights for CAR calculation for exposures on certain MSME loans that has been backed
by insurance
