Domestic Update
• Bank Indonesia (BI) reported a domestic Prompt Manufacturing Index (PMI) in 3Q21 contracted and slipped below the 50-point threshold of expansion to 48.75%. The PMI-BI figure was lower than the previous quarter reading at 51.45% and the central bank forecast at 49.89%. MNCS Comment: The contraction in 3Q21 was driven by the implementation of emergency PPKM that limited economic activities. However, we expect with the gradual reopening and improving public health conditions, Indonesia's manufacturing activities will likely rebound in 4Q21 along with other macro indicators such as consumer confidence as well as public mobility.
• Furthermore, there was an addition of 278 new Covid-19 cases in Jakarta yesterday.
