Global Funds Hit Pause on Indonesia After Prabowo Policy Changes

Some of the world’s biggest money managers are reluctant to rush back into the country’s assets after sweeping changes under Prabowo’s administration sent stocks tumbling by the most since 2011 last month. Investors from Melbourne to London say there are pockets of value but little incentive to load up, according to interviews with 12 buyside firms.
