-GOVERNMENT BONDS-
The Bank Indonesia (BI) consumer survey recorded the Consumer Confidence Index (IKK) for the period of January 2021 at 84.9. This figure is lower than the previous month which was at the level of 96.5. This decline was driven by a decline in two of its components, namely: weakening consumer expectations of economic conditions in the next 6 months, and a decline in the current Economic Condition Index (IKE). The current CECI is recorded at 63.0 or lower than 68.6 in December 2020. Meanwhile, consumer expectations of the current economic conditions have weakened due to the policy of Enacting Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) in several regions, particularly Java and Bali. Yesterday, the yield on 10-year Government Securities (SUN) increased by 4.8 bps to a level of 6.24%.

-RECOMMENDATION-
Projected Sukuk Auction Oversubscribed. The auction of State Sharia Securities (SBSN) is projected to reach IDR 25 trillion, or exceed the indicative target of IDR 12 trillion. In addition to the extension of the strict Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy, market players are also waiting for the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccination. SBSN or Sukuk will remain attractive, because the instruments are scalable and have very good liquidity. In addition, the risks in the market are high because the Covid-19 pandemic is not over. Market participants can look at PBS027, PBS017, PBS029, PBS004, and PBS028. The five sukuk are series offered at today’s sukuk auction.
