-MACROECONOMY-
Moody’s: The Quality of Indonesian Corporate Bonds Worsens. The international rating agency, Moody’s Investor Service, estimates that the quality of Indonesia’s corporate debt will deteriorate along with a sharp decline in the economy due to pressures on consumption power and lower commodity prices. Moody’s projected that Indonesia’s corporate financial metrics will weaken for the full year 2020 and will only gradually recover in 2021, although revenue will still be in a lower position than in previous years. Risk financing increases because around 42% of high-ranking global bonds will mature in December 2020 and the biggest risks will be faced by companies in the property and mining sectors. Meanwhile, the income of Indonesian corporations included in Moody’s scope is expected to fall by around 20% YoY in 2020 and will remain at 10% below the realization of 2019 in the following year.

Investors Observing Public Purchasing Power. Inflation data will be released on Monday (03/08), with a Bloomberg survey of July inflation projected at 1.72% YoY and 0.05% MoM respectively.
