Indonesia economy disappoints with 4.95% growth in Q3

JAKARTA -- Indonesia's economy grew 4.95% in the July-to-September quarter compared to a year earlier, falling slightly short of analysts' expectations, the country's statistics agency said on Tuesday.

In a Reuters poll of economists, the consensus view was for gross domestic product in Southeast Asia's largest economy to expand 5% in the quarter, down from the 5.05% growth recorded for the April-to-June quarter.
