Armida made the statement after a cabinet meeting here on Thursday held with the main agenda to hear reports about the government working plan and targets for 2014.

The world`s economy is still beset by uncertainty in 2014, and continue to be in the shadow of recession that it would be difficult to meet export target set earlier, Armida told reporters.
