0523 GMT - Indonesia's economy likely grew 5.03% on year in 4Q, compared with 3Q's 5.04% rise, according to the median estimate of seven economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. A series of fiscal stimulus measures lifted private consumption toward the year's end, despite disruptions from floods and landslides, HSBC economists say in a note. Consumer confidence and credit growth improved on quarter, while investment indicators such as cement usage and truck sales also picked up in 4Q, they add. However, external headwinds persisted, with PMI for export orders remaining in contraction during the quarter, HSBC says. The GDP data is due Thursday.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
