**In February 2024, Indonesia held its largest single-day election. The incoming
president faces economic challenges, but there may be opportunities for investors
in the evolving Southeast Asian landscape.**

## Indonesia’s Historic Election

On February 14, 2024, Indonesia held the world’s largest single-day election, choosing
a new president, vice president, and parliament members. With Joko Widodo unable
to seek a third term, this marks the first leadership change in a decade.

## Impact on the Global Stage

Indonesia’s selection of leaders carries weight internationally, given its role 
in ASEAN, status as the most populous Muslim nation, membership in the G20, and 
position in the US-China rivalry.

## Considerations for Investors

With global investors expected to adopt a wait-and-see approach, the economic policies
of the incoming administration, including a focus on achieving an eight percent 
economic growth and self-sufficiency in energy, will shape investor sentiment.
