Ratings
BBB / Negative
April 2020, Rating Affirmed at BBB, Outlook Revised from
Stable to Negative

settings, strong growth prospects, and historically prudent
fiscal policy settings. The negative outlook reflects S&P
expectation that Indonesia faces additional fiscal and
external risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the next

MOODY'S
Feb 2020, Rating Affirmed at Baa2/Stable
Baa2 / Stable
"The affirmation of the ratings is underpinned by a number
of credit strengths - including Indonesia's robust and stable
growth rates and a low government debt burden, preserved
by consistent fiscal discipline and emphasis on
macroeconomic stability - as well as persistent credit
challenges."
R&I
March 2020, Rating Upgraded at BBB+/Stable
JCR
BBB+ / Stable
"The upgrade reflects the firm implementation of policies to strengthen economic
growth potential on the back of a solidified political foundation. As the global
spread of the novel coronavirus could strain growth in the Indonesia economy,
the government and the central bank are working to shore up the economy and
maintain macroeconomic stability. Given the country's underlying economic
strength which remains intact, R&I expects the economy to start to recover if
the epidemic is brought under control"
January 2020, Rating Upgraded at BBB+/Stable
BBB+ / Stable
"The ratings mainly reflect the country's solid domestic consumption-led economic growth, restrained
budget deficit and public debt, and resilience to external shocks supported by flexible exchange rate
and credible monetary policies and accumulation of foreign exchange reserves. Since its previous
rating review, JCR has been paying particular attention to the continuing reform initiatives pushed by
the administration of President Joko Widodo and the content and progress of the economic policy
taken by his second administration which took office in October 2019. Among the reform agenda,
infrastructure development has continued to progress faster than JCR had expected.".
