hief economic minister Darmin Nasution has said he believes that Britain’s decision to quit the European Union will unlikely have a significant impact on Indonesia's economy, but the country would continue to monitor developments from the historical referendum.
"Indonesia is in a relatively resilient economic position. Nevertheless, we will monitor the situation closely in coming days," Darmin said in a statement on Friday.
He said Indonesia would communicate with policymakers in the region and looked forward to working closely with them.
"The government and Bank Indonesia are and will continue to be in close touch [with the policymakers]," he said.
