RI to record highest economic growth in Asia by 2011, says chief minister

People`s Welfare Coordinating Minister Aburizal Bakrie said the highest economic growth in Asia in 2011 may prevail in Indonesia.

"In his meeting with Vice President Yusuf Kalla, Bakrie said Indonesia may reach the highest economic growth in Asia in 2011 by implementing various programs including economic retrenchments," he said here on Thursday.

The minister said that with the retrenchment programs, fuel oil price hikes, and the kerosene to gas conversion scheme, at least Rp 240 trillion could be saved.

"The money could be used to build a better Indonesia. But, it should be supported by a firm intention and togetherness to develop Indonesia into an advanced country," he said.
