JAKARTA: One of the biggest selloffs in Indonesia since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1998 is deepening worries among investors about where President Prabowo Subianto (pic) is taking South-East Asia’s biggest economy.
A warning by MSCI Inc this week about Indonesia’s investability triggered the two-day rout.
