RI maintains economic growth target for 2009 :minister

Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said the government will not change the 2009 economic growth target because the recent bomb attacks at JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels here did not leave a bad impact to the Indonesia`s economy.


"We do not revise the 2009 economic growth, because last Friday`s bombing attacks we condemned, did not bring about serious impact to real economic activities in the country," the minister said here Wednesday following a discussion with five other cabinet ministers and representatives of the Indonesian chamber of commerce and industry (Kadin).

The government will only anticipate a change in the flow of human resources in connection with the tight security inspection in seaports, airports and bus terminals, Indrawati said.

Sri Mulyani Indrawati said the cancellation of tourist visits in the last weekend, only concerned those who would stay at the two hotels attacked by the terrorists.

"In addition, we also had talked with the House of Representatives (DPR) that if an anticipatory effort caused an impact on the budget, the DPR will support (the government)," he said.

During the discussion, minister Indrawati also talked about the goverment`s preparations for he Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan and the Idul Fitri festivities.

The trade minister, industry minister, and the transportation minister took part in the meeting with the finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati.(antaranews.com)
