Macroeconomy
BI Cuts RI’s Economic Projection. Bank Indonesia estimates that Indonesia’s economic growth will only be around 3.5% – 4.3% this year. The figure is down from the previous projection of 4.1% – 5.1%. Meanwhile, BI also revealed that Indonesia’s economic growth was at 3.9% at the midpoint. This decline in projections is influenced by the development of cases of Covid-19 transmission. The 3Q21 economy is expected to be lower than the previous quarter. The government has implemented various restrictions to reduce the rate of transmission of COVID-19. The decline in growth mainly occurred in household consumption due to limited mobility. (CNN Indonesia)
