In this article (5)
Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution believes that the impact of the US presidential election on Indonesia’s economy is only temporary. Darmin said that the government would anticipate changes in the market after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won the election.
“We shouldn’t be worried about the election. There will be an impact on the economy, but it’s only for a short term,” Darmin said at his office on Wednesday.
The election results announced today showed that Donald Trump gained 288 votes, exceeding the minimum winning threshold of 270 votes. His rival from the Democratic Party Hillary Clinton obtain 215 votes.
Industry Minister Airlangga Hartarto echoed Darmin’s comment saying that the US presidential election would not have direct impact on the national industry. Instead, Airlangga suggested that the US presidential election would have a significant impact on the capital market.
However, Airlangga warned that the election results could affect the Fed rate revision in December. In addition, Airlangga said that he would revisit the plan to join the Trans Pacific Partnership.
During his campaign, Trump revealed his plan to cancel all trading agreements that could cause losses to the US. Trump also criticized the TPP as a danger for the US. Trump further called for cancellation of the North America Free Trade, since it would have negative impacts on job opportunities in the country.
