- Global Investors Collectively "Sell Indonesia": Stocks Down 36%, Rupiah Hits Record Low
Indonesian assets are experiencing a systemic selloff. The benchmark stock index has plunged 36% from its high this year, making it the worst performer among more than 90 global indices tracked by Bloomberg. The rupiah has breached the historic 18,000 level against the U.S. dollar, depreciating roughly 14% since Prabowo Subianto took office in October 2024. Foreign investors have pulled approximately 86 trillion rupiah (about $4.8 billion) from Indonesian sovereign bonds over the same period, a decline of around 9%. George Boubouras, head of research at hedge fund K2 Asset Management, which manages about $4.3 billion, stated bluntly: "The biggest trade in Asia is to sell Indonesia." Boubouras said the fund liquidated all its Indonesian positions in 2024. "My exposure to Indonesia is zero. I wouldn't give them any chance." At the core of this selloff is the Prabowo government's increasingly populist and interventionist policy orientation. Since taking office, he has pledged to boost annual growth to 8%, launched a nationwide free school meals program, expanded the state's role in the economy, and injected billions of dollars into the sovereign wealth fund Danantara. More recently, he announced plans to centralize state control over exports of commodities including coal, palm oil, and ferroalloys to curb tax evasion — a move that directly triggered a sharp drop in exporter stocks. Fiscal Credibility Shaken, Bond Market Pressure Intensifies For many investors, the departure of former Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati last year was a turning point. Long regarded as the anchor of fiscal discipline, it was under her tenure that Indonesia earned investment-grade ratings from major rating agencies and attracted substantial long-term foreign capital. Tong Yuxuan, head of Asia rates and FX strategy at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, noted: "Domestic political uncertainty is a classic emerging market risk, and the typical response from global investors is to wait and see until policy predictability re-emerges. We continue to recommend caution for now." Gary Tan, portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments (approximately $624 billion in AUM), pointed out that the core thesis behind shorting Indonesia lies in bearish expectations for the rupiah. "Investors remain concerned about macro imbalances and policy credibility — especially on the fiscal front." Options markets indicate that traders assign roughly a 45% probability of the rupiah falling to 19,000 by year-end and about a 27% probability of reaching 20,000 within a year. On the bond front, Bank Indonesia's holdings of sovereign bonds have risen to approximately 27%, an unusually high level among emerging economies. Rajeev De Mello, portfolio manager at Gama Asset Management, said that bond purchases initially aimed at improving market liquidity "may have evolved into a form of quantitative easing." Investors want clearer guidance on whether the central bank's bond holdings have stabilized. MSCI Downgrade Warning Adds to Stock Market Woes Earlier this year, MSCI announced that Indonesia faces the risk of being downgraded from emerging market to frontier market status, triggering one of the most severe single-day declines in Indonesian stocks in decades. Since MSCI indices influence hundreds of billions of dollars in global asset allocation, the impact of this warning extends far beyond the technical level. The issues MSCI highlighted — including excessive concentration of corporate equity ownership and insufficient regulatory transparency — predate the Prabowo administration, but the current policy environment has made markets even more pessimistic about reform prospects. Shamaila Khan, head of emerging markets and Asia-Pacific fixed income at UBS Asset Management, warned that Indonesia's hard-won investment-grade rating is "extremely difficult to earn and extremely easy to lose." She added: "We want to see that they won't jeopardize these policies and the gains that have come with them." From the exodus of nickel mining investors to across-the-board pressure on stocks, bonds, and the currency, the selloff in Indonesian assets has spread from the sector level to the systemic level. Whether the Prabowo government can rebuild market confidence while maintaining populist policies will be the critical test in determining whether Indonesia can defend its investment-grade rating.
