Video: High Uncertainty Persists – Which Investment Sectors Are MI's Preferred Choice?

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Indonesia’s financial markets are facing various external pressures as Middle Eastern tensions escalate, pushing oil prices higher and disrupting supply chains for fertilisers and food commodities, with spillover effects driving inflation and straining the state budget.

Domestically, sentiment regarding MSCI considerations and Fitch Ratings’ outlook are also drawing market participants’ attention. Consequently, the equity market, sovereign bonds and the rupiah have come under pressure. Nevertheless, Arief Budiman, Chief Executive Officer of BRI Manajemen Investasi, believes that despite the various sentiments confronting Indonesia’s capital market, investors can still capitalise on opportunities and accumulate positions.

Sectors with strong fundamentals and relatively low sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations could serve as investor choices for long-term investment.
