Is This Time Different? Indonesia's Response to Uncertainty
Indonesia faces domestic economic discontent and a hostile global environment. Less than a year into the Prabowo presidency, protests in August 2025 highlighted public frustration with weak job creation, high living costs and elite privileges. Pandemic scarring lingers, with millions pushed into insecure informal work. Tax revenue is constrained, while austerity, over-regulation and weak monetary transmission suppress demand and investment. These…

China–US trade War
This paper takes a holistic approach to the effect of US-China trade war on Indonesia. The paper starts by laying out the context of the rise of protectionism and nationalism, comparing developed and developing country context, and its various causes such as unequal distribution of benefits and responses to the rise of China.

Indonesia in the New World
Globalisation is more complex than ever. The effects of the global financial crisis and increased inequality have spurred anti-globalisation sentiment in many countries and encouraged the adoption of populist and inward-looking policies. This has led to some surprising results: Duterte, Brexit and Trump, to name a few. In Indonesia, the disappointment with globalisation has led to rising protectionism, a rejection of foreign interference in the n…
The Services Sector as a Driver of Change
By various performance indicators, the Indonesian services sector ranks below those of its main ASEAN neighbours. This is concerning for Indonesia, given the the increased attention worldwide on the services sector as a likely source of growth, the contribution of the services sector to the competitiveness of other sectors, and the opportunities available for capturing the gains from innovation and change in services. There is scope, we argue, to…
Fifty Years of Trade Policy in Indonesia
Indonesia's trade policy has evolved over the last 50 years. It has been influenced by the country's level of development and the conflict between openness and protectionism; external developments, such as commodity booms and busts and increased competition; and international commitments, whether multilateral or regional. As a result, trade policy has often been ambivalent and ineffective. Given that Indonesia has undergone various transformation…
Indonesian Trade Liberalisation
Indonesia has undergone comprehensive trade liberalisation by participating in multilateral and regional trade arrangements and by conducting unilateral liberalisation. This paper evaluates the different paths of liberalisation the country has followed, and measures their effects on the economy. It considers the impact of several liberalisation scenarios: unilateral liberalisation; regional liberalisation through APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Coope…
Survey of Recent Developments
Structural Changes in a Reforming World Economy
How will rapid East Asian industrialisation and international trade policy reforms affect Indonesia's economy? Taking an economy-wide perspective and drawing on projections to 2005, based on a global applied general equilibrium model (GTAP), we show the impact of Uruguay Round implementation, and explore other international influences on Indonesia's and neighbouring economies. Trade reforms likely to accompany China's (and Taiwan's) membership of…
The Indonesian Economy
Since the fall in oil prices in the early 1980s, and especially since 1986, Indonesia has undertaken appropriate macro-economic stabilization and deregulation policies. Deregulation has been comprehensive, covering the investment, trade and financial areas. The thrust of the reform process has been export-oriented, increasing com petition and efficiency in the economy, and increasing the role of the private sector. The results to date have been v…
