Indonesia¡¯s stock market has performed relatively well amid recent market volatility, but research analysts at financial services group Nomura Holdings suggests it is still punching below its weight. While acknowledging that ¡°potential stagflation and geopolitical tensions, along with tapering and likely ensuing interest rate hikes in Indonesia, can be a toxic concoction of risks,¡± a research report published on Sunday implies Southeast Asia¡¯s largest economy has a leg-up on its regional peers. ¡°Although we view the economic environment as hardly enthusiastic to look forward to in the next year, we think Indonesia provides a relative shelter amidst the challenging mid-to-long term market outlook,¡± the equity strategists contend, pointing to Indonesia¡¯s speedy recovery from the coronavirus-induced economic crisis.
