Indonesia's upcoming national elections

Indonesia is gearing up for national elections on February 14th, with three candidates vying for the presidential post. The leading candidate, Pobo Bohe, is currently in the lead with about 48% of the votes, just shy of the 50% required for victory. If no candidate reaches the required threshold, a rerun of the elections will take place in June. Continuity of policy is a possibility as Pobo Bohe's vice presidential candidate is the son of the current president, Jokowi. Potential changes include a new tax office reporting directly to the president, increased fiscal expenditure, and more subsidies and social welfare spending. Despite potential challenges, Indonesia remains an attractive market with a strong domestic demand and the capacity to grow while maintaining macro stability.
