Private and government consumption accelerated thanks to higher subsidy and personnelspending, a pick-up in credit growth, higher agricultural incomes, and stable inflation. Strong job markets also helped: the employment rate reached a two-decade high of 65.7 percent in February, with the unemployment rate falling to 5.1 percent.

Because import volumes grew nearly twice as fast as exports, net exports contracted, weighing on overall economic growth. 2018-09-26T21:13:10Z 2018-09-26T21:13:10Z 2018-09 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/498361537371495086/Indonesia-Economic-Quarterly-Urbanization-for-All http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30448 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Economic Updates and Modeling Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Indonesia
