The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) said Sunday that the
Indonesian economy grew more than 6 percent in 2010 thanks to growth
of almost 7 percent in the last quarter of 2010.
“We are still finalizing the exact number, but it could reach
more than 6 percent,” BPS chair Rusman Heriawan said, as quoted by
tempointeraktif.com.
Ahmad Erani Yustika, an economist from the Institute for
Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF), estimated Indonesia’s
economy would grow by 6.2 percent this year.
Ahmad said the quick growth in the last quarter of last year would
continue into early 2011 as long as the government could reap
benefits from rising food and oil prices.
