Key quotes
“The Indonesian government has extended the partial lockdown in some cities (including Jakarta) to 22 May.”
“We see IDR remaining vulnerable to COVID-19 developments globally and in Indonesia.”
“A re-emergence of risk aversion is likely as the global economic impact of COVID-19 becomes more apparent, which could see USD/IDR head back towards 16,500 again.”
