QUARTERLY ANALYSIS: THE DYNAMICS OF MONETARY, BANKING AND PAYMENT SYSTEM, QUARTERLY II, 2013

The national economy showed lower growth than the first quarter of 2013 due to the impact of the global economic slowdown and rising inflation in the country. After registering a growth of 6.0% (yoy) in the first quarter of 2013, Indonesia’s economic growth slowed to 5.8% (yoy) in the second quarter of 2013. Despite positive growth, exports are still not strong enough to support economic growth as a result of the weakening global economic demand. Exports are not strong and the weakening purchasing power due to inflation has increasing influence to slowdown household consumption as well as non-construction investment
