Bhima Yudhistira, executive director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios), said that the House of Representatives’ move to reject the Constitutional Court's ruling on regional head elections harmed the market by creating uncertainty for businesses.
"Why is a rule that has already been finalized and binding by the Constitutional Court being annulled by the House? This sets a bad precedent," Bhima said on Thursday, as quoted by tempo.co.
Bima emphasized that Indonesia faces challenges such as restoring middle-class purchasing power, limited budget room and a government transition. Indonesia could attract investment from developed countries that prioritize transparency and good governance.
However, Bhima warned that political instability could deter investors, especially in regions holding local elections, potentially leading them to choose more stable countries instead.
The rupiah and the index had recently strengthened, partly due to the United States Federal Reserve lowering interest rates.
