Indonesia’s Economy 2021: Recovery or Stagnation?
INDONESIA STUDIES PROGRAMME WEBINAR
About the Webinar
In 2021, there are high hopes that global and regional economic recovery will occur, including the Indonesian economy. Massive economic stimulus package in the US and China’s economic recovery will be among the main economic drivers for recovery. The question is how fast will the recovery take place; will it lead to a better global and regional economic structure? Will Indonesia be able to navigate and take the opportunity from the global economic recovery or will the country continue struggling with a recession?
This webinar invites Indonesia’s former Minister of Finance, Dr Muhammad Chatib Basri, to discuss the outlook and challenges facing the Indonesian economy in 2021.
