Dealing With Current Account Deficit: Indonesia’s Experience Policies for a Sustainable Current Account in Indonesia OECD Development Center Paris, 22 January 2014
Dr. Luky Alfirman Fiscal Policy Agency, Ministry of Finance
Ministry of Finance
! Indonesia is a country with rela6vely high yet stable economic growth. But as an open economy, slowing global growth has adversely impacted Indonesia’s economy; one of them is the widening current account deficit (CAD);
! Indonesia’s CAD is caused by both external factors (slowdown in major trading partner and significant decline in commodity prices) and domes6c factors (while import is s6ll strong in line with robust domes6c economic ac6vi6es) è external imbalances;
! CAD is a reasonable consequence of countries in the development stage like Indonesia, where savings can’t fulfill all investment needs, but it should be (i) managed at a reasonable level, (ii) supported by adequate financing, and (iii) free from structural problems, such as unhealthy fuel subsidy regime, too much reliance on commodity based export, etc.
! To manage CAD at a reasonable and sustainable level, government and the relevant authori6es have been and will be issuing a series of policy measures, both for short term and and long term.

The widening of current account deficit is mainly due to deterioraNon of goods trade balance, especially oil and its products, combined with other accounts (Service and Income Accounts)...
• Extensive trade balance deficits are mainly caused by higher imports growth than export growth, par6cularly in oil and gas.
• Increasing fuel subsidy in 2013 was caused by increased oil and gas import and consump6on. 30000
