Speaking before political party leaders, who are slated to present their economic views at the Kompas-100 CE0 Forum in Jakarta on Wednesday, the President said, "I hope the current issues will be discussed well at this forum."
He noted that too much rhetoric was useless because it would not change the nations economy.
"What we need today are real strategy, policy and action," the head of state said at the forum, which was attended by 12 political party leaders, economists, business makers, politicians and government officials.
The government officials who presented their views included Finance Minister M. Chatib Basri and Bank of Indonesia Governor Agus Martowardojo.
According to the President, the possible subtraction of expansive monetary stimulus and tapering off from the Federal Reserve would probably have a direct impact on the rupiah exchange rate.
Therefore, the head of state expressed hope that the current economic situation would continue to be scrutinized by allowing real strategy and policy to manage economic pressures.
