Indonesia’s economy expanded 5.3% year-on-year in Q2, exceeding expectations despite a slight deceleration from the previous quarter.

Indonesia’s GDP grew 5.3% year-on-year in the second quarter, a slowdown from 5.6% in Q1 but above market consensus. The print reflects resilient domestic demand amid global economic headwinds.
