The Geopolitician

Country risk, from the local press

Indonesia country watch

Exposure to Indonesia means watching Bank Indonesia and the rupiah, Jakarta's export bans on nickel, palm oil and coal, local-content and licensing rules, the ports of Tanjung Priok, Surabaya and Belawan, floods and volcanic disruptions, and the mining, palm oil, banking, consumer and EV-battery groups that shape Southeast Asia's largest market. We read Kompas, Bisnis Indonesia, the Jakarta Post, Kontan and Tempo every morning.
