Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, has seen a slowdown in growth since 2012, mostly due to the end of the commodities export boom. During the global financial crisis, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbors and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth. Indonesia’s annual budget deficit is capped at 3% of GDP, and the Government of Indonesia lowered its debt-to-GDP ratio from a peak of 100% shortly after the Asian financial crisis in 1999 to less than 27 percent today. While Fitch and Moody's Investors upgraded Indonesia's credit rating to investment grade in December 2011, Standard & Poor’s has yet to raise Indonesia’s rating to this status amid several constraints to foreign direct investment in the country, such as a high level of protectionism.

For the first time in four years, activity accelerated in 2016, with growth momentum expected to remain strong in 2017. Household consumption is projected to continue to rise, sustained by the emergence of a middle class with low debt levels, while the central bank is expected to continue its cycle of monetary easing embarked on in 2016 (-275 basis points in 2016). Meanwhile, despite edging up slightly because of modest commodity price increases, inflation is expected to remain contained, which will help support private demand. Private investment is likely to continue to feel the benefits of structural reforms implemented by the Widodo administration. Public spending will remain robust, thanks to infrastructure development and house building for the lowest income households. Furthermore, the construction sector is expected to benefit from the cut in property taxes. Nevertheless, investor confidence is likely to remain constrained by uncertainties over possible changes in the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and further downward pressure on the rupiah. Meanwhile, the country, abundantly endowed with natural resources (oil, coal, natural gas, palm oil, rubber, ores) is expected to continue to be hit by sluggish commodity prices. Weakening demand from China, the second largest recipient of Indonesian exports, will continue to affect the country's external trade.
Despite rising slightly, the public debt will remain moderate in 2017. The removal of energy subsidies in 2015 and 2016, which weighed heavily on the State budget, has enabled expenditure to be reallocated to public infrastructure investment. Despite the cut in corporation tax and lower revenues from hydrocarbons, the public deficit is projected to remain contained through the broadening of the tax base and a partial fiscal amnesty for taxpayers repatriating their offshore funds.
The July 2014 presidential elections resulted in the victory of Joko Widodo (Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle), former governor of Jakarta and the first president not from the army. Although the opposition (led by Prabawo Subianto, losing candidate in the presidential elections) controls 60% of the parliament, the president has managed to strengthen his power since summer 2015 thanks to new alliances and a major ministerial reshuffle. A poll carried out in September 2016 underlines the popularity of the President, who has approval ratings of 66.5%. So, after being hampered by the opposition and dissension within his own party in his attempts to introduce reforms, Widodo's administration has succeeded in initiating some ambitious programmes aimed particularly at reducing red tape. In the space of one year, Indonesia has jumped 15 places on the World Bank's Ease of doing business rankings. However, the country continues to suffer from substantial governance shortcomings.
