Domestic Update
S&P Global reported Indonesia's Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) to have advanced higher to 52,9 in Jan-2024 from 52,2 in Dec-2023. MNCS Comment: Indonesia’s PMI has maintained its expansive stance for the 29th time in a row, far exceeding regional peers such as Malaysia (49,0), Philippines (50,9), Vietnam (50,3) Thailand (46,7) and China (50,8). We view that this reflects a resilient strength in the nation’s manufacturing industry and the unwavering optimism of the industry participants, despite the typical political year pullback and the high interest rate hurdle. It is likely the industry players perceive accommodative and pro-business policies from the candidacy.
