oordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution has announced he will meet President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Thursday to finalize the 13th economic policy package, which is expected to be released this month.
"Tomorrow I will ask the President for a time to discuss this," Darmin said at the State Palace on Wednesday.
The draft of the 13th package, which is believed to expand on previously agreed measures, had been completed, Darmin said, but he added that he was reluctant to disclose the details before it was finalized in discussions with the President.
"I will explain later, because I still have to ask the President, which options he will choose," he went on.
Unlike the past 12 economic policy packages that revolve around deregulations and efforts to ease general business procedures, the new policies would improve business procedures in specific sectors. (bbn)
