In this issue
The economic impact of reduced demand is seen in the recently released statistics with inflation falling 0.1% month–month to an annual rate of 1.54% in July 2020, the producer price index falling 1.44% in the second quarter and second quarter GDP being reported at -5.32% on an annual basis. With the de- cline in exports holding up better than the reduction in imports, -9.9% versus -32.55%, Indonesia reported a healthy trade surplus in July 2020. The government continues to focus on strategic areas to reduce Indonesia’s reliance on imports and in addition to agricultural initiatives already in the pipeline pre-covid, the dependency on imported raw materials for drug manufacturing has been added as a critical risk area to be addressed as a result of the disruptions to the supply chains caused by the crisis.

The boom is not just an American phenomenon. China’s Alibaba is up 24%, Taiwan’s TSM 38%, Germany’s SAP 20%, and Australia’s Atlassian 47%. The S&P 500 Semiconductor ETF is up 19% for 2020.

A Strange Way of Doing Business
When Donald Trump issued his executive order blocking ac-cess to TikTok and WeChat unless a “very American” company-owned them, he more than raised the stakes in the US-China trade war; he signaled that as far as he’s concerned, only American companies are fit to run worldwide computer platforms.
