Yup, 5.3 percent growth decline in second quarter is quite expected since we do lock down measure. Despite not able to contain the spread of the virus, at least it has slowed the virus spreading and thus give us more time to better prepared in dealing with this pandemic until the vaccine inshaALLAH is ready for mass produced.
Pretty much some project delays which happen during second quarter has been started again in the third quarter. Despite that, several economic sectors IMO are still getting hard effect of the pandemic for the rest of the year which are airline, hotels, tourism, restaurants and street food vendors.
I dont know whether we are going to post positive growth this year, It will be a miracle if that really happen. If the vaccine is really effective and can be manufactured starting in early next year, our economy will likely to post strong growth next year. Not only that, our relation with China will also get better if the vaccine is really effective.
