RI economy to expand 4.5 percent in Q4

Indonesia's economy may expand above 4.5 percent in the last quarter this year, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Wednesday.

With that figure, the economy is estimated to have a full-year growth of 4.3 percent, making Indonesia stands out for having a quite-high positive growth while major countries stumble, she said.

The economy is expected to accelerate to 5.5 percent next year as the global economy recovers.
