Domestic Issue
Ministry of Finance will not issue Euro Bonds. The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) stated that it will not issue debt securities in the form of foreign currencies, namely euro bonds this year, due to the economic turmoil that occurred in Europe. Apart from the energy crisis in Europe due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, EUR/USD weakened due to the increase in the Fed Funds Rate and the strengthening of the US dollar, which is a safe haven. The euro has weakened 11.79% since the start of the year. (Kontan)

Recommendation
Inflation beats economic growth. Bloomberg survey, Headline Inflation per September is projected to reach 6% YoY, or exceed 3Q22 GDP which is projected to only grow 5.5% according to BI’s version. High inflation, which has also exceeded the BI target of 4%, tends to make the Rupiah depreciate. On the other hand, high inflation has the opportunity to push BI 7DRRR to the level of 4.75%-5.00% FY22E. Apart from inflation, a number of other economic data will be released this week, such as: Indonesia’s Manufacturing PMI, which is projected to continue to expand, and September’s Cadev, as the depreciation of the Rupiah approached the level of IDR15,300/USD last week.
