The government is keeping a close eye on the eurozone on debt worries that may impact Indonesia's economy with a fluctuation in exchange rates and bond yields, the Finance Ministry said.
Concerns about the fiscal stability of Greece, Portugal and Spain have rattled global markets over the last two weeks, sending the Dow Jones industrial average on Monday back below 10,000 for the first time since November 2009, Reuters reported.
"Now many countries, particularly in Western Europe, have seen their economy start falling. This will affect the perception of the euro’s stability. The impact on us will be seen in the exchange rates," Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Tuesday.
"And second, in the expectation of our bonds, it will be seen in the form of yields and prices that are considered appropriate," she added.
But so far, there have been no significant worries to Indonesia's economy considering its strong fundamentals, said Mulyani.
