GOOD BUT LOWER PERFORMANCE: WHY?

•Crisis in Europe & recession in US

•Instability in Middle East & Africa

•Slower economic growth in emerging countries esp. China & India

•Trade imbalance with declining exports (& burgeoning imports)

Global economic uncertainty

•Overburdened airports: Jakarta’s CGK at beyond capacity past 6 years

•Poor condition of ports: Unable to keep up with economic growth

•Bad roadways, bad traffic; floods

•Poor connectivity between towns/cities/regions

•Policies & regulations deemed as hindrance to businesses

Weak infrastructure &

high logistics costs

Government initiatives

Strong domestic consumption driven by emerging middle

class

Influx of investments

• Master Plan MP3EI (2011- 2025): Economic development• Master Plan MP3KI (2011- 2025): Poverty reduction• Tax incentives

• Highest contributor to economy: ≅ 2/3 of GDP • 240 million (World’s 4th most populous nation)• 45 million consuming class (to to 135 million in 2030)• Robust consumer confidence with surge in government & private sector

projects

• Second biggest contributor: ≅ 30% of GDP• Regaining of investment grade: Fitch in Dec. 2011 & Moody’s in Jan. 2012 • AT Kearney FDICI: Ranked #9 in the world (from 19 in 2010) • 2012 realization may top $31 billion (Rp. 300 trillion), a record

OUTLOOK FOR 2013 POSITIVE

Annual GDP growth target set at 6.8 % (BI forecast: 6.3% - 6.8%)

Domestic consumer demand 65% of GDP = less vulnerable to Europe & US drag

Fitch: Affirmed RI’s investment grade at BBB- (stable outlook); boost joining BRICS

Investment realization targeted to increase to Rp. 390.3 trillion (FDI $29 billion)

Household consumption (to 5.8 – 6.3%) & investment (to 10%) will continue to drive growth

Govt set inflation rate assumption at 3.5% - 5.5%

Government to hold BI rate steady at 5.75% (since March 2012)

Per capita income rising & middle class growing (to expand to > ½ total population)

Oil & gas investment to increase: $26.2 billion: 274 work plans & budgets approved

Exploding gas demand = efforts to reduce exports + expand downstream capacity

Sales of capital goods, including machine tools, will rise 8% to $27 billion

RISKS & CONCERNS

Endemic corruption/Judiciary a

problem: 118 in list of 176 countries (Transparency International)

Rising inflation from domestic fuel subsidies &

power tariff hike

Weak institutions & bureaucratic

inefficiencies: 128 out of 185 globally

(World Bank’s Doing Business)

Political uncertainty: 2014 elections

Infrastructure congested & inadequate to support

growth; respond to natural disasters

Lack of institutions with strong capital structure to finance planned projects

Crisis in developed world: Threaten exports,

foreign liquidity, investment growth

Emerging trend of trade deficits fueling current

account deficits & hurting the Rupiah

Under-developed HR: Low-skilled workforce + Minimum pay increase

not matched with increase in productivity

REASONS TO BE OPTIMISTIC + OPPORTUNITIES

Master plans to guide development & growth:

Impetus for change

Relative political & economic stability:

Conducive to business

Strong & growing domestic demand: Fuel growth, limit exposure

to external shocks

Poverty reduction means growing middle

class

Growing middle class means better qualified

workforce & bigger market

Positive investment outlook thanks to strong economic fundamentals

Abundance of fertile land & natural

resources

Financial markets poised for volatility:

Stock market to maintain good performance

Financial stability: Investor confidence evident in influx of capital investment
