Economic Growth Picked Up In 4Q 2015 And Will Likely Gain Pace in 2016



Indonesia GDP growth increased to 5.0% y-o-y in 4Q, after holding stable at +4.7% in the previous three quarters. This was due to higher gross fixed capital formation (investment) and government consumption spending but offset partly by a smaller net export and a moderation in household consumption. 

By industrial origin, this was reflected in faster growth in electricity & gas activities and activities in transport & warehousing; accomodation, food & beverages; construction; financial services & insurance; services and trade sectors. A slowdown in manufacturing, agriculture, mining, water supply, information & communication, and real estate sectors, however, posed a dragged to the overall growth. 
 
Overall, 4Q 2015 economic growth showed resilient domestic demand helped cushioned sluggish external trade performance.
