Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia Director for Research and Monetary Policy, Sukowati, said in Batam, Riau Islands, recently that Indonesia`s economic growth up to the end of 2011 was predicted to reach 6.6 percent.
He said that Indonesia`s economy would still grow steadily amid uncertainties in global economic developments.
The strong economic growth of Indonesia was supported by high consumption and investment, he said.
Sukowati said that investment remained high in Indonesia due to a perception that its economic fundamentals remain strong and its investment climate is improving.
Indonesia`s domestic economy is supported by processing industries, trade, hotels, restaurants, transportation and communication.
BI also predicted that Indonesia`s fourth quarter economic growth would reach 6.7 percent.
"The impact of the global economic turmoil in 2011 has not yet affected Indonesia`s economy," Sukowati said.
He said that the country`s economy in 2012 was predicted to grow within a range of 6.2 percent to 6.7 percent.
Therefore, the deputy finance minister said the Indonesia`s economy in 2012 would remain prospective and well-maintained, and that the government and the people should keep that momentum.
