Thanks to robust consumption and investment that countered weak net exports.
According to BBVA Research, strong consumption and investment offset weak net exports, resulting in a better-than-expected second quarter GDP outturn of 6.4% y/y.

Today’s positive outturn will likely cause Bank Indonesia to keep interest rates steady to help keep a lid on inflation and in view of recent currency weakness.
