In brief
Indonesia's economy is struggling against a backdrop of weaker external demand for commodities, delayed infrastructure spending and tight monetary policy. The government has introduced several stimulus packages, but real GDP expansion is still expected to remain sedate in 2016, at 5.2%, compared with forecast growth of 4.9% this year. The president, Joko Widodo, reshuffled his cabinet in August but he will still lack the political authority to pursue ambitious structural reforms.
