JAKARTA, KOMPAS —The government is working hard to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak on the national economy. Both the real and financial sectors are affected.

The capital market has taken a hit and the rupiah’s exchange rate against the US dollar has been plummeting since last week due to investors’ concerns about the economic impacts of COVID-19. These concerns are exacerbated by investment trends in China’s manufacturing sector, as reflected in the country’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for manufacturing, which dropped to 35.7 points in February 2020 – lower than during the 2008 financial crisis.
