<li>With the IDR stabilizing and inflation abating to 2.5%YoY in Jun'24, we expect a 25bp cut in the policy rate in the Jul-Sep'24 quarter. This should bolster hitherto-weak private consumption. </li>
<li>The fiscal deficit was a modest 2.2% of GDP in Apr'23-Mar'24; 'Prabowo risk' won't be manifest until 2025. Until then, liquid banks (L-D ratio 86.5%) are well-positioned to drive growth. </li>
