They are also more optimistic toward the future. In particular, consumer concerns on high foodstuff prices have fallen to 74.4% in March from 78.2% in the previous month. The two main components which make up the CCI increased in March. The component measuring consumer sentiment toward current conditions, the Present Situations Index (PSI), added 7.4 percent to 82.3, as sentiment toward the current state of the economy and the job market improved. As for the other main component of the CCI - the one measuring consumer sentiment toward the future (the Expectations Index or EI) it rose 1.6 percent to The increase in this index reflects stronger consumer optimism toward the economy and the job market outlook over the next six months.

After staying at in the previous survey, the Consumer Confidence in the Government Index (CCGI) rose 4% to in March. In our survey, three components of the CCGI increased while two components declined. Furthermore, four CCGI components are still above the neutral level of 100, thereby indicating that consumers are generally convinced in the government s ability to carry out its duties.
2 THE MARCH 2018 RESULTS Consumer Confidence strengthened in March In this month, the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) increased from a 1-year low of 97.3 to Our survey reveals that consumers gave more positive assessments on current economic conditions and the current job market. They are also more optimistic toward the future. In particular, consumer concerns on high foodstuff prices have fallen to 74.4% in March from 78.2% in the previous month. The two main components which make up the CCI increased in March. The component measuring consumer sentiment toward current conditions, the Present Situations Index (PSI), added 7.4 percent to 82.3, as sentiment toward the current state of the economy and the job market improved. As for the other main component of the CCI - the one measuring consumer sentiment toward the future (the Expectations Index or EI) it rose 1.6 percent to The increase in this index reflects stronger consumer optimism toward the economy and the job market outlook over the next six months. By region, consumer confidence improved in five of the six regions covered by the survey. Sentiment improved the most in East Java (where the index added 6.9 percent to in March), followed by Central Java (where the index rose 6.3 percent to 110.1), West Java (where the index climbed 4.3 percent to 87.3), Jakarta (where the index increased 3.8 percent to 121.2), and North Sumatra (where the index rose 1.8 percent to 86.3). By contrast, confidence still deteriorated in South Sulawesi (where the index slipped 1.7 percent to in March). Consumer sentiment increased across different income bands. For the high-income consumers (incomes above Rp3,000,000 per month), the CCI rose 4.8 percent to in March, while for the low-income consumers (incomes below Rp1,500,000/month), the CCI rose less dramatically by only 1.4 percent to Meanwhile, consumer confidence in rural and urban areas also increased. While the CCI for rural consumers posted a significant increase of 8.4 percent to 98.0 in March, the CCI for urban consumers increased less dramatically by 1.9 percent to Chart 1.

The Consumer Confidence Index % Change Consumer Confidence Present Situation Expectation Appraisals of Current Situations: More Upbeat on the Local Economy Consumers gave more positive assessments on the current state of the national economy in our latest survey (this index added 6.8 percent from 80.6 to 86.1 in March). In our survey, the proportion of consumers who claimed that national economic conditions were good increased from 16.6 percent to 19.5 percent, while the proportion of consumers who claimed that national economic conditions were bad declined from 36.0 percent to 33.4 percent. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of consumers (47.1 percent) said that national economic conditions were normal. In regard to the current state of the local economy, consumers also gave more positive assessments (this index edged up 1.6 percent from 98.8 to in March). Nevertheless, consumers remained concerned by several key issues. Most notably, 74.4 percent of consumers still cited high foodstuff prices as a major factor weighing on the local economy in the last three months (albeit down from 78.2 percent in February). Furthermore, 40.2 percent of consumers expressed concerns on job scarcity (up from 39.7 percent). In the March survey, consumers also gave more positive assessments on the current state of the job market (the index measuring sentiment toward job market conditions jumped 19.6 percent from its lowest level in more than 2 years of 50.6 to 60.6 in March). More specifically, fewer consumers claimed that jobs were hard to get (56.7 percent in March vs percent in February) while more consumers claimed that jobs were easy to get (17.3 percent in March vs percent in February). Some 26.0 percent of consumers did not perceive any change in the job market. Overall, the low level of this index still indicates that the job market remains tough and that greater efforts are needed to tackle the perennial problem of unemployment. 3

Furthermore, all components of the EI increased in March 2018 and all components remain above the 100 level. This shows that consumers are generally still upbeat on the outlook for the economy and the job market over the next six months. The component of the EI to increase the most was the one measuring sentiment toward the national economic outlook. This component of the EI added 2.4 percent to in March. In more detail, our survey reveals that more consumers were upbeat on the local economic outlook (27.4 percent in March vs percent in February) while around 4.8 percent of consumers were still downbeat. Nevertheless, a large proportion of consumers (67.6 percent) still foresee no change in the local economic outlook over the next six months. As for the national economy, consumers are also more upbeat on its prospects: this index added 2.1 percent to in March. In regard to future family incomes, consumers are also more optimistic. This component of the EI climbed 0.4 percent to in March. In our survey, fewer consumers expect lower family incomes over the next six months (12.8 percent in March vs 13.3 percent in February) while the proportion of consumers who expect higher family incomes stayed at around 23.4 percent. However, most consumers (63.5 percent) still don t expect any change in the outlook for future family incomes. The stronger optimism toward the prospects for family incomes is in-line with the expectation of a more conducive job market in the future (this index edged up 1.4 percent to 106.3). 4

Expectations in the Six Months Ahead % Change Economic Prospects Local Area Economic Prospects Employment Prospects Family Income Prospects Purchasing Intentions for Durable Goods: Strengthened With consumers more upbeat on the national economic outlook, buying intentions for durable goods also increased in March. In our survey, percent of consumers expressed plans to purchase a durable good over the next six months, or up from percent in the previous month. Furthermore, on a yearly comparison, buying intentions for durable goods are also higher since only percent of consumers expressed plans to purchase a durable good back in March Of the ten categories tracked by our survey, however, buying intentions increased in only two of them. In March 2018, buying intentions for houses increased from 0.70 percent in February to 0.75 percent in March. Also up were buying intentions for home appliances (from 7.37 percent in February to 7.54 percent in March). At the same time, buying intentions for motorcycles stayed unchanged in March. By contrast, buying intentions in seven categories of goods still declined. Most notably, buying intentions for automobiles declined significantly from 0.41 percent in February to 0.17 percent in March. Buying intentions for land also declined significantly from 0.29 percent to 0.12 percent. Meanwhile, buying intentions for livestock and bicycles declined moderately. At the same time, buying intentions for gold & jewelry declined slightly in March. Finally, the proportion of consumers who want to renovate their homes in the March survey also decreased (down from 2.49 percent to 2.38 percent). Table 4.

6 Expectations on Key Economic Variables: Inflationary Pressure is Expected to Ease In our latest survey, consumers said they expected inflationary pressures to ease slightly over the next six months. Overall, the index measuring consumer sentiment toward general prices fell 1.6 percent from to in March. However, this index is still higher than its level one year ago, when the index reached in March In part, at least, the expectation of lower prices over the next six months might be attributable to expectations that foodstuff prices will fall due to greater supply of foodstuffs in relation to the harvesting season in March. In regard to interest rates, more consumers foresee lower interest rates over the next six months (7.7 percent in March vs 5.2 percent in February) while around 30.1 percent of consumers still foresee higher interest rates. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of consumers (25.7 percent) still expect interest rates to remain unchanged. As such, overall, the index measuring sentiment toward interest rates fell 1.4 percent to in March. As for the rupiah, consumers in the main cities are more pessimistic on the outlook for the local currency. In our survey, the index measuring sentiment toward the rupiah retreated 3.0 percent to 71.1 in March. In regard to the outlook for stock prices, however, consumers are more optimistic that Indonesian stocks will record gains over the next six months (this index climbed 0.8 percent to 110.7). Table 5.

7 Confidence in the Government: Strengthened Consumer confidence in the government s ability to carry out its duties remained strong in the March survey. After staying at in the previous survey, the Consumer Confidence in the Government Index (CCGI) rose 4% to in March. In our survey, three components of the CCGI increased while two components declined. Furthermore, four CCGI components are still above the neutral level of 100, thereby indicating that consumers are generally convinced in the government s ability to carry out its duties. The component of the CCGI to increase the most in March was the one measuring sentiment toward the government s ability to stabilize prices. This index jumped 17.4 percent from its lowest level in the last one year of 75.7 to Indeed, our survey reveals that fewer consumers now cited high foodstuff prices as a major factor weighing on the local economy in the last three months (74.4 percent in March vs percent in February). Also up was the component of the CCGI measuring sentiment toward the government s ability to spur economic growth. The relevant index edged up 5.4 percent from 99.3 to in March. At the same time, the component measuring sentiment toward the government s ability to provide and maintain public infrastructure also increased in March. This index edged up 0.5 percent from to By contrast, the component of the CCGI measuring sentiment toward the government s ability to enforce the rule of law still declined. This index edged down 0.8 percent from its highest level in more than 8 years of to in March. Please note that perceptions of weak law enforcement have dragged down consumer sentiment toward the government in the past. Consumers are also less convinced in the government s ability to ensure a safe and orderly environment. The relevant index retreated 1.4 percent from to in March. Table 6.
