Awaiting Indonesian GDP data, benchmark SUN series closed flat in yesterday’s trade. Based on a Bloomberg survey, Indonesia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the 2Q20 period is projected to contract -3.35% QoQ and -4.49% YoY respectively. This survey is holding back the pace of movement in Government Securities (SUN) which moved to strengthen this week. Previously, investors responded positively to the decline in both the Credit Default Swap (CDS) and the US dollar index, as well as the appreciation of the rupiah exchange rate. Investors also project the Fed to keep its benchmark interest rate back at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting Wednesday (29/07) which keeps interest rates at around 0% -0.25%. Yesterday, the rupiah exchange rate on the spot market closed slightly down 0.05% to the level of IDR 14,542 / USD, with the BI middle rate depreciating 0.18% to IDR 14,570 / USD.

-CORPORATE BONDS-
SMF Encourages the Improvement of the Housing Sector. The government asks finance companies Sarana Multigriya Financial (SMF) to implement strategies to encourage the housing sector. For the record, before the pandemic the home ownership backlog reached more than 11 million, and currently the impact of Covid-19 resulted in a slowdown in housing demand. The housing sector is an important sector, has a multiplier figure or can attract other sectors, such as the construction sector, labor, cement sector, and mining. As for the KL / LG sectoral National Economic Recovery (PEN) program valued at IDR 106.1 trillion, the government also included housing incentives in the form of interest subsidies and advance payments for MBR worth IDR 1.3 trillion.

However, only 6.6% of sectoral and regional governments were realized.
