Why investors are fleeing one of Asia's biggest economies

World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 53m ago

Indonesia is experiencing investor outflows amid concerns about the economic policies of President Prabowo Subianto. The newly elected president's large spending projects have raised questions about the country's fiscal sustainability and prompted worries about a potential downgrade of Indonesia's emerging economy status.

Subianto campaigned on delivering 8 percent economic growth, but his ambitious spending plans have created uncertainty among investors about whether these targets are realistic given Indonesia's current economic conditions. The scale of proposed expenditures has become a focal point for concerns about the country's financial stability and creditworthiness.

The investor retreat from one of Asia's largest economies reflects broader apprehension about the direction of Indonesia's fiscal policy under the new administration. The potential downgrading of the country's economic status would carry significant implications for Indonesia's access to international capital markets and its standing among global investors.
