Indonesia's economy grew by between 4.1 percent and 4.3 percent in the third quarter this year from a year earlier, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Tuesday.
The economy is expected to accelerate to 4.5 percent on a year-on-year basis in the last quarter of 2009, she said.
The government aims to have a 4.3 percent growth throughout 2009. While the figure is lower than the 6.1 percent growth booked last year, the positive growth is outstanding as most countries score a negative growth this year.
