Sharpfokus Brief – The UK, Indonesia & the Yield Gap
August 18, 2025

Back in 1996, when I moved to Indonesia from the UK, the difference in lending costs was stark. Borrowing for Indonesia meant paying 6–7% more than lending to Britain.

Fast forward to today, and that gap has nearly vanished. Indonesia’s 10-year bond yields 6.4%, while the UK’s 30-year gilt is at 5.6%. Not matching duration, but close enough to see the shift:

👉 Market risk perception of Indonesia has come down significantly.
👉 The UK, meanwhile, now borrows at levels edging closer to emerging markets.

Data 📊
• Indo 10Y: 6.4%
• UK 30Y: 5.6%
• Spread 1996: 6–7%
• Spread 2025: ~0.8%

Data, not advice.

Sharpfokus Brief – Inggris, Indonesia & Kesenjangan Imbal Hasil
18 Agustus 2025

Pada tahun 1996, ketika saya pindah dari Inggris ke Indonesia, perbedaan biaya pinjaman sangat mencolok. Meminjam untuk Indonesia berarti harus membayar 6–7% lebih mahal dibandingkan Inggris.

Hari ini, kesenjangan itu hampir hilang. Obligasi pemerintah Indonesia 10 tahun memberikan imbal hasil 6,4%, sedangkan obligasi pemerintah Inggris 30 tahun berada di 5,6%. Durasi tidak sama, tapi cukup jelas menunjukkan pergeseran:

👉 Persepsi risiko pasar terhadap Indonesia telah turun secara signifikan.
👉 Sementara itu, Inggris kini meminjam dengan tingkat yang semakin mendekati pasar berkembang.

Data 📊
• Indo 10Y: 6,4%
• UK 30Y: 5,6%
• Spread 1996: 6–7%
• Spread 2025: ~0,8%

Data, bukan nasihat.
