1 Economic Monthly ASEAN & India AKI FUKUCHI, SHOHEI TAKASE ECONOMIC RESEARCH OFFICE TOKYO YUMA TSUCHIYA, MAKIKO STOKES ECONOMIC RESEARCH OFFICE SINGAPORE 1 DECEMBER 1 (ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION RELEASED ON DECEMBER 1) MUFG Bank, Ltd. A member of MUFG, a global financial group 1. Indonesia The central bank implemented an additional rate hike Bank Indonesia (BI), the central bank of Indonesia, unexpectedly decided to raise its benchmark 7-day Reverse Repo Rate by basis points (bps) (from.7% to.%) at BI board of governors meeting held on 1-1 November. It is the sixth rate hike since May, bringing a total of 17 bps hike. Since October, rupiah stopped depreciating against the US dollar and appeared to be rebounding. However, it seems that the BI decided on an additional rate hike in order to stabilize financial markets through strengthening fundamentals such as containing current account deficit amid anticipated global policy rate hike including US. Current account deficit widened to -3.% of Nominal GDP in Jul-Sep Current account deficit recorded USD -. billion (-3.% of Nominal GDP) in Jul-Sep, widening from the previous quarter. Although a surplus in secondary income balance widened, goods balance logged a deficit for the first time since Apr-Jun 1 and deficits in services balance and primary income balance widened. Looking at financial account balance, capital inflow by direct investment widened while portfolio investment turned to net outflow. As a result, overall balance logged a deficit for the third consecutive quarter. 7 Chart1:Consumer Price and Policy Rate Former Policy Rate CPI: Transportation, Communication and Finance CPI: Education, Recreation and Sports CPI: Health CPI: Clothing CPI: Housing, Electricity, Gas and Fuel CPI: Food Consumer Price Index Current Policy Rate Chart : Balance of Payments (% of Nominal GDP) Net Error & Omissions Other Investment Portfolio Investment Direct Investment Current Account Balance Overall Balance Source: Indonesia Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Source: Indonesia Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), 1 Economic Monthly ASEAN & India 1 December 1

Looking at the breakdown, contribution of net exports (exports less imports) turned to negative as imports (+.1% YoY) remained sluggish while exports (-.% YoY) declined for the first time in two years, and weighed on the growth rate. Meanwhile, private consumption recorded +9.% YoY, remaining solid following the previous quarter (+.% YoY). Low inflation owing to the abolishment of Goods and Services Tax (GST) also supported consumption. Gross fixed capital formation (+3.% YoY) accelerated from the previous quarter. CPI was +.% YoY in October, slightly accelerating albeit at low level Consumer Price Index (CPI) slightly accelerated to +.% YoY in October from the previous month (+.3% YoY). Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels (approximately % of total share) recorded +.1% YoY, maintaining relatively high level.

The growth of private consumption decelerated due to tax rise since January (higher excise taxes on petroleum products, sugar-sweetened beverages, tobacco and alcohol) and acceleration of inflation. Looking at gross fixed capital formation, capital investment slightly decelerated while public investment accelerated, and positive contribution of the overall GFCF narrowed. Meanwhile, negative contribution of external demand continued due to an increase in imports. The central bank implemented bps additional rate hike Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the central bank of Philippines, decided to raise its benchmark Overnight Reverse Repo Rate by bps to.7% on 1 November, bringing a total of 17 bps hike since May.

However, Services industry, which accounts for approximately % of the overall GDP, supported the GDP growth as Wholesale & Retail and Financial & Real Estate remained solid although Hotels & Restaurants decelerated on the back of a sluggish growth of the number of tourists. Taking into the GDP growth reading in Jan-Sep (+.3% YoY), the government set real GDP growth forecast for 1 as +.% YoY, slightly revising downward from the previous forecast (+.% YoY to +.% YoY, as of August). 1 - Chart 1: Real GDP (by expenditure) - Import + Discrepancy + Inventory Investment - Export Gross Fixed Capital Formation Government Consumption - Private Consumption Real GDP Source: Thailand National Economic and Social Development Board, Chart : Real GDP (by industry) Others Transport & Communications Wholesale & Retail Manufacturing Real GDP Financial & Real Estate Hotels & Restaurants Construction Agriculture Source: Thailand National Economic and Social Development Board, Economic Monthly ASEAN & India 1 December 1
