There were a few important lessons that investors learned upon entering 2021 after a turbulent 2020. The current economy presents room for improvement, however, investors can look forward to changes that are about to come. With the increasing vaccine rollout, it indicates that the world is getting closer to seeing the end of the pandemic, and our collective health is on the mend. Consequently, this would allow for the market to bounce back, providing the space and opportunities for economies to recover. A real-world example of this would be China’s efficiency in handling the virus and flattening the curve in no time. Countries like China serve as role models for post-pandemic growth, but also create opportunities for investors trying to generate alpha during unprecedented times.
When it comes to making plans for business, investments, and overall financial goals, it all boils down to one overlapping aspect – monitoring the trends in the economy. Once Indonesia gains control of the pandemic, it will also be poised for a rebound in economic growth like China.
Goldman Sachs has predicted that China’s 2021 GDP will expand at a healthy clip of 7.5%. As for Indonesia, the vaccine rollout is acting as a positive catalyst in allowing the nation to be on track to economic recovery. From 2020, exports and imports have grown 6.47% and 5.27% respectively since China’s recovery began. This happened as China’s recovery catapulted the demand for Indonesian products. With China being Indonesia’s trading partner, a rebound in trade was observed – and Kimin Tanoto is ready to seize this opportunity.
