Indonesia’s Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, is optimistic that the country will maintain economic growth of around 5%, despite a downturn in exports. Speaking to Bloomberg News, Indrawati said that she anticipates that government stimulus measures, as well as the country’s vibrant domestic economy, will be sufficient to maintain growth. Indonesia has seen its economy grow at an average rate of around 5% per year over the past decade, making it one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. However, recent months have seen a slowdown in economic growth, with exports falling due to a global economic slowdown and falling commodity prices. Despite this, Indrawati said that the government was confident that the country would continue to grow, with increased investment in infrastructure and other areas driving economic expansion.
