indonesia is no different in that particular regard.n one of the more aggressive early hiking central banks through 2018. given how high really rates are at the moment and where the currency is, the sense is they are done hiking rates. should we expect them to start unwinding those rate hikes this year? i think you need a few signals from the data to a march before i can talk about potential monetary policy easing. their current account looks relatively large. their trade balance data over the last three months has been surprising towards the larger deficit. i think the inflation and growth signals are supporting policy easing, but they have been talking about maintaining civility. they are happy with what has taken place the last couple months. in order to preserve that we think b.i. will start to consider monetary policy easing, but that is not likely in the first half of the year. how is indonesia and its monetary policy atmosphere, for wont of a better way of describing it, compared to others in the region? i. was one of the more ag

indonesia has some way to go. indonesia remain underrepresented as far as women are concerned.ly democratic countries categorised as full democracies within our index. a meme from china is warming hearts all over the world. it's called ‘four generations under one roof‘ — and the concept is simple, with each video beginning with a young child calling out to their mother or father, and so on, right up until the great—grandpa rents. chinese families have been sharing the videos on douyin, or tik tok — an app for creating and sharing short videos. take a look at this. earlier i spoke to kassy cho from buzzfeed. kassy shared the original post which was featured on duoyin and it then went viral. i had seen the videos on the app and i thought they were really cute and i thought i would just share it on twitter because i blow up the way it did and people would enjoy them but i had no idea it would blow up the way it did or see such an overwhelming reaction. what have we had, what, 330,000 retweets and over1 million likes, if not a bit more than that. what is it about this meme in parti

>> knowing little about indonesia, aside from my recent venture to jakarta, i actually chose indonesia, just, you know, thinking about where india has been over the last few years and the number of reforms that the modi government has rolled out. i think you've -- if you read anything coming out of the chair, you know we track the reforms of the modi government and this will undertake an exercise with the new administration. but one of the economic levers that can really unlock the growth potential of the country. and of the 30 most important economic reforms, we've seen that the modi government has really implemented about nine of them and has had started work on -- or various levels of implementation about 14 or 15 of them. and the impacts of some of these, one of the biggest being the goods and services tax, has been, you know, i think we're going to see the dividends of that play out over a longer period of time. there have been some hiccups with that, and, you know, as they sort out through those measures, you know, particularly setting up a new judiciary court to deal with goods

still below indonesia's potential, but overall doing a decent job. so he right now is ahead in the polls, more than 20% ahead, which is a little surprising given how close the election was five years ago. and he's over the 50% mark, although there's still about 10% undecided, according to the latest polls. so it looks like it's jokowi's election to lose. and so he is, i would predict, likely to be a big political winner this year. having said that, there's still some uncertainty about the elections because april is still several months away. there are a couple things that people are concerned about, could crop up. one is economic turmoil. the rupia suffered a big slide last october in global emerging market kind of turbulence. so there could be another currency hit, which could lead to inflation and the rise of, you know, household good prices. that could knock the story off that jokowi is really delivering economically. the other concern continues to be that there could be a real tactic deployed to try to challenge jokowi on his muslim credentials.

>> i know little about indonesia i chose indonesia thinking about where india has been over the past few years and the reforms the government has rolled out. if you read anything coming out you know we track the reforms and this is some and that will certainly undertake and will exercise with the new administration. one of the levers that can unlock the growth potential of the country, the 30 most important economic reforms, we've seen that the government has implemented nine of them and have started work on or various levels of implementation about several of them in the impacts of several and i think we will see the dividend of that play out over a longer period of time. there have been hiccups with that and and as they set out to set up a new judiciary court to deal with the tax issues, new online it systems to help people file returns, the certainly impact india's economic growth. the other thing i want to mention is the reason protective measures that the government is undertaking, especially leading up to the general election. the indian government has to walk a tight rope betw

i mentioned indonesia. we haven't talked about indonesia at all. when i covered indonesia, part of the whole deal was indonesia talking about lou they werehow secular muslim majority country. things have changed since then. but still, in the way that soft power is used, i would like to hear from you, which muslim leader do you think is using soft power most effectively right now? it can be for good or it can be for bad from your perspective. who is doing it most effecti effectively? >> i think as a practitioner of state craft, as much as i personally have serious concerns with the growing autocracy that seems present in his country, turkey, i think that the turkish president erdogan has been very skillful in the way that he has incorporated religion into turkey's broader emerging power outreach strategy. it has certain immediate neighborhood regional affects in terms of the position that turkey has taken in this broader axis of divide in the middle east around the question of the muslim brotherhood movement and those ideas. beyond that, the way in

i think for indonesia in that it would be a further consolidation of asian democracy. being a populist. family, running on a platform of infrastructure and social services for the people. that he's modestly delivered on. but i would not -- if he does when i would not expect a huge change in indonesian foreign policy or to mystic policy. is likely to continue focusing on domestic issues and he has shown very little interest in foreign affairs and also very little interest in exercising indonesia's traditional role as real regional leader and leader. i wouldn't expect major changes in trade or foreign-policy. but overall, it would be somewhat reassuring sign for indonesia's democracy. >> the common denominator in some ways for all these leaders, is that even if there is change because of elections or weakening because of political factors case of xi jinping and merging. it's not likely to change that much. for example, india, u.s., or india japan patients are not likely to change trick-or- treat. moon jae-in, unlikely to change his strategy significantly. opposed to abe

i mentioned -- we haven't talked with indonesia at all, but when i covered indonesia in the late 90snd early 2000s part of the whole deal was indonesia talk about how they were secular muslim majority country. things have changed since then, but still in the way that soft power is used i liked her from you. which muslim leader do you think is using soft power most effectively right now? they can be for good or it can be forbade, from your perspective, but who is doing it most effectively right now? >> i think as a practitioner of statecraft, as much as i personally have serious concerns with the growing autocracy that seems present in his country, turkey, i think turkish president erdogan has been very skillful in the way that he has incorporated religion into turkeys broader emerging power outreach strategy. this is, it is certain immediate neighborhood regional fax in terms of the position that turkey has taken in this broader access of the bite in the middle east around the question of the muslim brotherhood movement and as i just -- divide. but beyond that the way in which erdoga

if you follow indonesia, unfortunately, there has been another earthquake, we have a central kitchen, we have a team there, we are about to be's ending is a continuum, they almost update the death toll daily. if a country like indonesia updates the death toll daily, would you agree with me, democrats, or republicans, that we should be able to update in america today the death toll daily? by not doing that, we fail the people of puerto rico, bought it -- because it seems the problem was not as big as it was. by keeping the real number of way from everybody, i'm congress, from senators, from congressman, from everybody, we somehow said, well, puerto rico is not such a big deal, when actually it was a big deal. we need to have the full force of the federal government, and by not recognizing the death toll, the death toll early, was -- that is where the federal aid was not as good, and as quick, and as fast as it was supposed to be. >> you have spent so much time outside of the united states and in places that have seen such devastation -- guatemala, you mentioned haiti, obviously , puert

it would be a reassuring sign for indonesia's democracy. michael: the common denominator, even if there is of elections or economic orcause of political factors, the general trajectory in each case is not to change that much. or example, india you asked would relations likely or not trajectory. not changing the strategies specifically. you can pick a couple candidates, it won't change with the u.s. or the quad or the pacific strategy. fair to say, the biggest effect with change in these countries, is governance and olicy are going to be more dysfunctional and less effective. do you think that's right, rick? i do think we may suffer if modi loses, he has pressing the gas pedal effectively, new agreements that solidified our military partnership or however you want to term it. don't think you will see a regression, you may not see as much progress on the regular congress comes to power. they want to build relations of players instead of making bets on individual countries. a we are at a bit of standstill, meaning that the things that we got i
