As reported earlier, Indonesian customers have been slowing down purchases due to the lack of end-product orders, especially for the woven bag sector. Recently, even PE packaging makers are facing difficulties in lifting end-product prices, forcing these companies to operate with squeezed profit margins. 

 

“Trading sentiment remains sluggish. Considering the slow to recover economy condition, we are not exactly optimistic about the market outlook,” a market source said.
