In this month’s “In-Focus” section, we provide an update on recent events in Indonesia that we believe will have an impact on offshore investor confidence. Among these are negative developments at the governmental level regarding the policing of corruption. We also feature a case study on the recent bond default by Delta Merlin Dunia, which highlights the problems inherent in governance with Indonesian corporates, particularly private firms. We believe that at the regulatory and corporate level there is often a capricious approach to governance, which is encouraged by a benign judicial system.

PWON's Q3/19 results were surprisingly soft, with revenue declining instead of picking up following the country's presidential election. That said, profit growth remained strong, underpinned by contractual lease income from the portfolio of malls with high occupancy. Cash flows were robust, with large FCF. The company paid down both debt and dividends, which we view positively. Liquidity remains sound, and PWON continues to be one of the strongest credits under our coverage. That said, we have revised down our FY 2019 revenue growth projection to 0.5% from 12%. This is on account of the surprising drop in Q3 revenue amid the very weak real estate market, contrary to an expected growth pick-up following the presidential election. We maintain our margin forecast. Margins have been very stable, underpinned by contractual lease incomes.
