A member of MUFG, a global financial group 1. Indonesia Real GDP slightly decelerated to +.2% YoY in Jul-Sep Real GDP growth slightly decelerated to +.2% YoY in Jul-Sep from the previous quarter (+.3% YoY). Looking at domestic demand, government consumption (+6.3% YoY) and gross fixed capital formation (+7.% YoY) accelerated while private consumption (+.% YoY), which accounts for approximately % of the overall GDP, slightly decelerated. Looking at external demand, negative contribution of net exports continued as both exports and imports growth slowed down from the previous quarter. FY219 Budget approved FY219 state budget has been approved by the parliament on 31 October. Revenue is expected to increase +14.3% compared to FY218 revised budget on the back of trade expansion and commodity market rally. Expenditure focuses on social security including subsidies to the poor and rural areas as well as education and infrastructure development. It also includes a budget for disaster restoration. As a result, fiscal deficit narrowed to -1.8% of GDP and it can be said that the budget maintains fiscal discipline. The government projects FY219 real GDP growth to reach +.3% YoY. It is important to keep an eye on the budget implementation ahead of the upcoming presidential election scheduled in April next year. 8 7 6 4 3 2 1-1 Others Chart1:Real GDP Gross Fixed Capital Formation Private Consumption Net Export Government Consumption Real GDP -2 1 16 17 18 Source: Indonesia Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), (Year) Chart 2: Fiscal Balance Implemen tation,% Jan-Sep Implemen tation, % Jan-Dec Revised Budget Progressi on, % Jan-Sep Budget (IDR tr) % of FY218 revised budget Revenue & Grant 63.3 96. 1,89 69.3 2,16 14.3 Tax 61.1 93. 1,79 64.9 1,786 13.1 Non Tax 84.2 119.6 27 12.2 379 37.

2. Malaysia Export of Manufactured Goods substantially decelerated to +1.8% YoY in August Export of Manufactured Goods substantially decelerated to +1.8% YoY in August from the previous month (+12.7% YoY) as Electrical and Electronic Products (EE) (approximately 4% of total export of Manufactured Goods) slowed, particularly in Semiconductors sector. FY219 Budget announced The government announced FY219 budget on 2 November. Total revenue is projected to increase +1.7% compared to FY218 revised estimate. While the share of tax revenue of total revenue will decline after the new government scrapped Goods and Services Tax (GST), it will rely more on non-tax revenue including increased dividends from a state-owned oil company. Looking at expenditure, operating expenditure (OE) allocation is +1.4% higher than FY218. While subsidies, including cash assistance for the poor, are projected to decrease -2.8%, MYR37 billion is allocated for payment of outstanding tax refund comprising of income tax refund and GST refund. Development expenditure (DE), spent mainly on infrastructure projects, will be decreased -.4% from FY218. Overall, the government plans to narrow the fiscal deficit to 3.4% of GDP in 219. The government also said it would continue to narrow the gap gradually through new tax measures including digital services tax.

Philippines Motor vehicle sales recorded -9.7% YoY in September, remaining low Motor vehicle sales recorded -9.7% YoY in September, remaining at a level significantly below the previous year although showing a smaller decline for the second consecutive month.

Bank loans slowed to +16.3% YoY in September Bank loans (total of Universal and Commercial Banks) stood at +16.3% YoY in September, showing downward trend since September 217 when recorded +2.1% YoY albeit growth rate still remains at high level.

MAS decided to slightly change the monetary policy stance The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), in its bi-annual Monetary Policy Statement released on 12 October, said it decided to slightly increase the slope of the Singapore dollar nominal effective exchange rate (S$NEER) policy band, indicating that the economy is likely to expand at a steady pace for the rest of this year and in 219 and the inflation is projected to rise modestly. The MAS has changed the monetary policy stance (slightly increased the slope of the S$NEER policy band from the previous zero percent) in April 218 for the first time in two years. 3 Economic Monthly ASEAN & India 27 November 218

On the other hand, Semi-Durables Index (SDI) accelerated and Services Index (SI) continued to grow stably. Exports stood at -.% YoY in September Exports stood at -.% YoY in September, declining for the first time in about two years. Looking at the breakdown by items, Non-monetary gold suffered a sharp decline due to repercussions from the previous year s high level and weighed most heavily on the total exports. Looking at non-gold sectors, Automotive and Auto Parts, Electronics and Electrical Appliances and Agriculture, Fisheries and Processed Food Products also declined year on year. Automotive sector appears to have been affected by changes in taxation in major export destination countries as well as natural disasters. 4 Economic Monthly ASEAN & India 27 November 218

Complete Built Up (CBU) vehicles sales recorded high growth (+42% YoY) which outpaced Complete Knock Down (CKD) vehicles sales (+16% YoY). Motor vehicle sales had shown sluggish growth after the government introduced new non-tariff measures such as requiring importers to submit the vehicle type approval (VTA) certificates issued by authorities from the countries of production while it eliminated tariffs on imported cars from ASEAN region in January, but are now rebounding as the Vietnamese government decided to accept the VTA certificates issued by authorities in Thailand and Indonesia. Exports decelerated to +2.3% YoY in October Exports was +2.3% YoY in October, decelerating for the third consecutive month. Garments and Footwear remained firm while Food, Agricultural and Fishery Products remained sluggish, and Telephones, Mobile Phones and Parts declined year-on-year.
