I think the most instant thing to do is accelerating the implementation of the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development (MP3EI) programs,"Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia will benefit much from the current economic crisis in the US and Europe because the turmoil there will make the country a most attractive place for investment, an economist said.
"Right now Indonesia is the sexiest for investment," economist Aviliani said here on Thursday.
She said besides its strong domestic market Indonesia`s debt service ratio to the gross domestic product this year is also still healthy at 25.2 percent.
She said the global economic crisis had indeed not affected Indonesia so far but it does not mean Indonesia may stay idle.
Aviliani said Indonesia must accelerate its infrastructure development including development of electricity power sources, seaports, airports and others.
"I think the most instant thing to do is accelerating the implementation of the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development (MP3EI) programs," she said.
With the global economic crisis she said Indonesia`s economy could grow up to 6.3 percent. She predicted the crisis would last for five to 10 years. (*)
