Jakarta (B2B) -  The government estimates the government’s debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio by year-end to stand above 24 percent, higher than 2012’s 24 percent of GDP.

Schneider Siahaan, Director of Debt Strategy and Portfolio at the Ministry of Finance, said the debt ratio rises following rupiah deprecation rate against US dollar.

"Aside from influencing financing, debt also affects forex-based state revenue. “This influences actual deficit,” Siahaan said.
