Jakarta (B2B) - Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono menjawab komentar para pengritik terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di bawah 6,3%.
"Jangan pura-pura tidak tahu keadaan dunia berpengaruh langsung pada ekonomi kita," katanya di Kantor Presiden di Jakarta, Jumat (2/8).
Laporan Badan Pusat Statistik menyebutkan pertumbuhan hanya mencapai 5,81 persen pada kuartal kedua tahun ini. Presiden SBY mengklaim angka itu sudah diprediksi pemerintah sebelumnya. "Kami sudah perkirakan sebenarnya," ujarnya.
Presiden Yudhoyono berjanji mengambil langkah agar koreksi pertumbuhan itu tidak meleset lagi. "Ini sekaligus untuk menentukan asumsi pertumbuhan tahun depan," katanya.
Jakarta (B2B) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono responded to those who criticized the government for failing to reach the targeted 6.3 percent of economic growth.
"Do not pretend like you don't know that the global economy affects to our domestic economy," he said at the Presidential Palace on Friday, August 2.
Statistics Indonesia (BPS) reported that Indonesian economic growth had only reached 5.81 percent in the second quarter of 2013. SBY claimed that the government has predicted the number. "Actually we have predicted it," he said.
President said that they would maintain the growth above six percent. "This can be our benchmark to determine the assumption of growth for next year," SBY concluded.
