Indonesia Banks ' Double Happiness Neutral (maintained) Sector Update - Indonesian equities were recently boosted by two pieces of positive news. The Indonesian Parliament passed the long awaited land bill that will be a key element in facilitating infrastructure investments that could help to be a strong source of demand for bank financing. - In addition, Fitch Ratings raised Indonesia 's long-term and local currency rating to BBB- from BB+ that lifts its sovereign credit rating to investment grade. - While the Land Bill and Fitch upgrade are positive developments, they were widely anticipated and are likely to have been fully priced in. - We acknowledge Indonesia 's structural growth prospects but retain our cautious near-term view and Neutral call on the sector.
