Jakarta (B2B) - Bank Indonesia meminta pemerintah memperbaiki pengeluaran konsumsinya. Gubernur Bank Indonesia Darmin Nasution menilai laju pertumbuhan ekonomi tahun ini bergantung pada pengeluaran pemerintah.
"Ya kalau mau pertumbuhannya bagus, itu (konsumsi pemerintah) harus digenjot," tutur Darmin di kantor Bank Indonesia, Jakarta, Jumat (8/2).
Persoalan lainnya, lanjut Darmin, adalah defisit neraca perdagangan sebesar US$1,63 miliar. Besarnya defisit tersebut disebabkan oleh impor minyak.
"Yang dilihat tidak terlalu positif oleh pasar bukan level defisitnya, tapi kualitas defisitnya. Ya kalau itu melulu defisit karena impor barang modal dan bahan penolong, mungkin kualitasnya juga ada hal lain diluar itu," tuturnya.
Sesuai data Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), konsumsi pemerintah justru negatif 3,34%. Sedangkan konsumsi rumah tangga tumbuh 5,36%, pembentukan modal tetap bruto (7,29%), perubahan investori (94,56%), dan ekport (0,5%), dan import (6,79%).
"Jadi, konsumsi pemerintah bukannya positif tapi negatif," tandasnya. Target pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia dalam Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Negara (APBN) tahun 2013 sebesar 6,5%-7,2%.
Perlambatan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi

Pertumbuhan ekonomi kuartal terakhir tahun 2012 sebesar 6,11% atau lebih rendah dibanding periode yang sama tahun lalu. Pertumbuhan tersebut lebih rendah dibandingkan kuartal III sebesar 6,17%, dan kuartal II sebesar 6,4%.
Jakarta (B2B) - Bank Indonesia asked the government to improve their consumption expenditures. Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Darmin Nasution assess this year's economic growth depends on government expenditure.
"Yes, if want good growth, it (government consumption) should be encouraged," said Nasution in the office of Bank Indonesia, Jakarta, Friday (8/2).
Another problem, said Nasution, trade deficit of U.S. $ 1.63 billion. The magnitude of the deficit is due to oil imports.
"What you see is not very positively by the market is not the level of the deficit, but the quality of the deficit. Yeah if it's only deficit as imports of capital goods and auxiliary materials, may be quality is there anything else beyond that," he said.
According to Central Statistics Agency (BPS), government consumption is actually negative 3.34%. Meanwhile, household consumption grew 5.36%, gross fixed capital formation (7.29%), changes in investors (94.56%), and exports (0.5%), and imports (6.79%).
"So, government consumption rather than positive, but negative," he said. Indonesia's economic growth target in the State Budget (APBN) in 2013 amounted to 6.5% -7.2%.
