Indonesia poised for strong economic rebound in 2021

Jakarta

OF all the countries in South-east Asia, Indonesia - the region's largest economy - has been the hardest hit by the novel coronavirus pandemic, with over 623,000 cases as at Monday and the death toll fast approaching the 20,000 mark.

On the economic front, however, there is some good news, with Indonesia poised to be the fastest-rising economy in Asean in 2021 and the second-fastest in the world after China.
