Slow economic growth predicted in 2017: Economists

Economists predicted that Indonesia(S) would be(Modals) struggling(v) to maintain economic growth next year, partly due to heavy pressure on domestic consumption.

The University of Indonesia economist Faisal Basri(S) forecasts(V) that Indonesia’s gross domestic product (GDP) would grow by 5 percent year-on-year in 2017, a slight increase from the predicted 4.9 percent growth this year.

“Domestic consumption is under heavy pressure, especially for low-income people,” he said Monday during a seminar(S) discussing(V) the outlook of Indonesia’s economy in Jakarta.

Faisal said that household consumption, which constitutes 56 percent of the GDP, had been under pressure in recent years. This has been proven through the decline in the farmer(S) exchanges(V) value (NTP) index – which measures farmers(S) purchasing(V) power to 101.31 in November from 102.95 in the same month last year, according to data from the Central Statistics Agency. 

To achieve higher GDP growth, Indonesia(S) should(Modals) focus(V) on attracting more investment into the country, Sampoerna University economist Wahyu Soedarmono said.  

“If the government wants to achieve GDP growth of 7 percent in 2019, then the country(S) should(Modals) increase(V) productivity,” he said, adding that high productivity(S) would(Modals) bolster(V) investment and spur economic growth.

Amid a weak global economy, Indonesia saw its GDP increase only 4.79 percent last year, the lowest rate in six years.
