Indonesia plans to review the import of capital goods for big government projects to help manage its current account deficit as part of a series of coordinated policy measures to bolster its financial markets, Reuters reports, quoting Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati. Bank Indonesia previously projected that the country’s current account deficit would reach 2.3 percent in 2018, higher compared to consensus estimates of 2.0 percent, as imports continue to rise against exports. The current account deficit is a measurement of a country’s trade where the value of the goods and services it imports exceeds the value of the goods and services it exports. The central bank hiked its benchmark interest rate three times over the past six weeks – by a total of 1.00 percent to take the benchmark to the level of 5.25 percent – in order to defend the rupiah.
