VIVAnews - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) figured that the European debt crisis would bring minimum effect to the Indonesian economy.
"The European economic downturn will likely have a slight impact over the Indonesian economy," said IMF deputy managing director Naoyuki Shinohara, today, June 11.
The weak economic effect, according to Shinohara, is due to low trading contacts between Indonesia and European countries. In addition, the external funding from European countries to Indonesia is still restricted.
Shinohara believed that the Indonesian government can issue the perfect policies in dealing with the global economic issues. "I think the Indonesian government has prepared prudent [economic] approaches," said Shinohara.
The Indonesian economic growth is currently recorded at six percent. This is considered the agreeable point for the Indonesian economy. In fact, Shinohara was certain that the Indonesian economy will grow more.
