Indonesia's 4Q GDP growth slows to weakest in 3 years


The rupiah barely moved after the data was released, trading at 13,715 per dollar at 0430 GMT. There was also a muted reaction in the main stock index.

JAKARTA: Indonesia's economic growth in the final quarter of 2019 was the slowest in three years, hit by a weakening global economy, and despite supportive efforts by policy makers that included four rate cuts by the central bank.

Growth may ease further for Southeast Asia's largest economy this quarter due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China, the country's biggest trading partner and a major source of direct investment.
