Overview
Indonesia's interest payments to revenue stood at 11.05% in 2009, a rise of +2.05pp from 2008. Indonesia ranked 96th globally.
Indonesia's interest payments to revenue ratio has fluctuated significantly over the past 33 years, with the all-time peak of 25.53% occurring in 2002, a year marked by high inflation and a rapid increase in interest rates. This ratio has also experienced a trough of 1.70% in 1975, a period of economic stability and relatively low borrowing costs. As of 2009, Indonesia's ratio stood at 11.05%, ranking 96th globally, with several countries including Maldives, at 10.80%, and the United States, at 11.16%, exhibiting lower ratios. The ratio's volatility reflects Indonesia's reliance on foreign capital to finance its development, which has led to periods of high borrowing costs and increased interest payments. Given the country's history of managing debt, it is likely that Indonesia will continue to navigate its interest payments to revenue ratio, with a significant reduction in the ratio possible if the country can successfully implement fiscal reforms and maintain a stable interest rate environment.
