Indonesia's economy grew 6.1 percent last year, higher than the
government's official forecast of 5.8 percent in the nation's 2010 state
budget, Central Statistics Agency (BPS) data shows.
BPS chair Rusman Heriawan said Monday that Indonesia’s economic growth was
mainly driven by domestic consumption, which accounted for 56.7 percent of the
country's economy, as well as investment, which was 32.2 percent.
“On a quarterly basis, the economy
grew by 6.9 percent in the last quarter of 2010, the highest in many years,” Rusman
said.
The country's gross domestic product
(GDP) was Rp 6,422.9 trillion (US$712.9 billion) as of the end of 2010.
