Jakarta (B2B) - Defisit neraca transaksi berjalan Indonesia pada 2014 diperkirakan di atas 3% dari Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) seperti dilansir dalam laporan Dana Moneter Internasional (IMF). Sementara, Bank Dunia memperkirakan transaksi berjalan tahun depan berpotensi defisit 2,6% dari PDB.
Dalam laporan IMF yang bertajuk IMF Executive Board Conclude 2013 Article IV Consultation with Indonesia, yang dipublikasikan, Senin, IMF menilai defisit yang masih tinggi ini karena melemahnya permintaan eksternal. Meskipun demikian, IMF mengapresiasi rangkaian kebijakan yang dikeluarkan pemerintah dan Bank Indonesia.
Sementara itu, aliran modal masuk baik portofolio maupun foreign direct investment diperkirakan tumbuh moderat. IMF, memperkirakan dalam jangka pendek Indonesia akan menghadapi kondisi global yang lebih menantang.
