Manager's comments
• Effective 1 January 2015, the Indonesian government has officially taken RON 88 fuel subsidy out of their budget. The government will continue to subsidize
diesel prices, but will fix the amount of the subsidy at 1,000 rupiah a liter for 2015. Its price will be determined by the government, with the international oil
price used as a reference.. This fuel subsidy reform is expected to significantly reduce the percentage of total state spending for fuel subsidies from 9 percent
into 2.5 percent. This move could provide Indonesia with an international confidence that the new government should be able to curb current account deficit
(CAD).
• On December 2014, Rupiah depreciated to its lowest level since the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s. The depreciating trend of Rupiah has started since
the second half of 2014. However, the weak Rupiah performance occurs in other emerging countries as well, triggered by the improvement of the US economy.
This triggered speculations that the Fed could raise its key interest rate at the end of the first half of 2015.
• We are currently fully invested in equity as we are confident that the new government will be able to execute strategic initiatives to improve the economy.
However, we remain cautious on short term downside risk and looking forward to the revised state budget in January 2015.
• We favor some sectors that should benefit from the nation’s oil and gas reform, such as transportation, cement and infrastructure. We continue to put less
weight into the mining sector.
• In general, we still maintain our previous strategy on our current portfolio while continue to monitor the execution of the nation’s reform agenda.
• We continue to maintain our current portion in time deposit.
• The duration of our USD denominated bonds portfolio is at 4.97 years.
