Indonesia Economic Quarterly, July 2014 Hard choices Ndiamé Diop Lead Economist

The new administration will face major near-term challenges Hard choices2 Poverty and inequality reduction Economic growth Fiscal pressures External pressures Ending extreme poverty and achieving shared prosperity? OR Persistent pockets of extreme poverty and many Indonesians left behind?

International backdrop Hard choices3 Source: World Bank …but most global commodity prices, except oil, continue to decline (index, January 2012 = 100, 3mma) High-income economy growth is strengthening… (manufacturing PMI, +50=expansion) Source: Markit

Economic growth - Will Indonesia return to 6% growth? Hard choices4 (annual growth, percent) Source: BPS; World Bank staff calculations Forecast

Note: 2014 (1) is initial Budget (APBN), (2) is revised Budget (RAPBN-P) Source: Ministry of Finance; World Bank staff calculations Fiscal risks are building up steeply Hard choices 5 … and contributed to a substantial rise in government financing needs Significantly weaker revenue growth has added to expenditure-side pressures… (contributions to overall nominal revenue growth, percentage points) Source: Ministry of Finance; World Bank staff calculations (IDR trillion)

External balance still in focus despite macro stabilizing measures Hard choices6 Source: CEIC; World Bank staff calculations …which have been hit by ongoing commodity sector challenges (contributions to export value growth yoy, percentage points) After successful macro stabilization, focus now on weak exports… (export and import USD values, yoy growth, 3mma) Source: CEIC; World Bank staff calculations

Moderate pace of growth expected to continue Hard choices7 July IEQ Previous (March IEQ) p2015p2014p2015p Real GDP(% change) Consumer price index(% change) Current account balance(% of GDP) Budget balance(% of GDP) n.a.-2.6n.a. Source: BI; BPS; Ministry of Finance; World Bank staff projections

Assessing the hard policy choices ahead Hard choices8

Inequality is a growing problem in Indonesia 9 Inequality on the rise in recent years… …and increasing faster in Indonesia than in its neighbors Source: Kanbur, Rhee and Zhuang, 2014, “Inequality in Asia and the Pacific”; World Bank staff calculations (percent, LHS; percentage points, RHS) Note: Poverty rates are March BPS estimates; 2014 GDP growth: World Bank projection Source: BPS; World Bank staff calculations ( annual average change in Gini coefficient, percentage points) Hard choices

10  Inequality can slow down economic growth Preliminary research comparing districts in Indonesia indicates that high levels of inequality hurt growth.  Inequality slows down poverty reduction If all households received growth equally, poverty would have fallen from 17.4 percent in 2003 to 0 percent by  Inequality can trigger conflict and social tension Districts with Gini coefficients of 40 experienced 60 percent more conflict than districts with Gini coefficients of 20.  The majority of Indonesians believe that the country is more unequal than they’d like it to be Why does inequality matter for Indonesia? Hard choices

11 Children are born with unequal opportunities What is causing the rise in inequality? Source: Susenas; DHS; World Bank staff calculations Returns from jobs favor the rich and well-educated Source: Sakernas; Susenas; World Bank staff calculations (lack of access, percent)(wage and consumption premiums compared to workers with primary education, percent) Hard choices

12 What is causing the rise in inequality? The poor are more vulnerable to shocks to their income  All households face risks, for example health, cost of living shocks, and natural disasters, that can affect their income  The rich have access to more efficient coping mechanisms to respond to shocks (savings, insurance, good jobs, etc.); the poor often do not  The poor are less able to take risks to increase their income The rich benefit from greater returns to capital (annual change in real terms, percent) Source: Indonesia Stock Exchange; BPS; Sakernas; World Bank staff calculations Hard choices

13 83% of Indonesians believe it is “urgent” for the new government to tackle inequality  Distribution: improve spending and taxation policies (for example, eliminate regressive fuel subsidies, enhance tax compliance)  Opportunities: increase poor households’ access to high quality education and health  Mobility: support labor mobility for high-quality job creation  Safety nets: adequate and well-targeted, to reduce the vulnerability of the poor to shocks What can be done to address rising inequality? Hard choices
