Why is that? Because in Indonesia, the world\'s economic resources is all. Ranging from oil, coal, gold, palm oil, and even tourism. Unfortunately, in the management of resources, both government and private sector there has been no commitment to become the best in the long term, obviously the CEO of PT Federal International Finance (FIF), it.
In terms of economic calculation, up Suhartono, should in 2011 be the year of peak increase in 2010 due to conditions in Indonesia are classified as good in the midst of the crisis that hit many countries. So, for him, the first floor of Indonesia in terms of durability quite extraordinary, and there will be a second floor, third, and so on that test. If, Indonesia is able to compete with China and India, then in the next 5 years, he estimates the condition of Indonesia should be great.
The improving outlook for our economy, due to three main points. First, Indonesia\'s foreign exchange reserves amount outstanding. Second, banks are not jor-rod, proved much affected by the penalty because of low credit. Third, the crisis experienced by many other countries, actually have a positive impact for Indonesia. For example, in the near future Australia will experience problems of coal, while Indonesia did not. These opportunities should be the strength of Indonesia because coal remains prospective.
For interest rates, it should not rise this year. Therefore, the interest rate was 6.5% of the world have been classified already expensive, said Suhartono. In fact, if our interest is lower, then more funds would flow into Indonesia.
According Suhartono, if Indonesia wants more advanced, there are several factors that should be improved. First, education. The weak education can not be backed up immediately. For that, the government needs to look to neighboring countries are already more advanced, such as Malaysia. There education for the community under the note, for example by giving many scholarships and internship opportunities for students. And after several years of work, employees in Malaysia are advised to create a company that fostered by the government to partner with large enterprise systems.
The second factor, the government must raise SMEs. Because the people that education is weak and no income was dangerous. So, they must be considered so as not to cause trouble that disrupt public order.
Third, the financial system is fair. Now banks are competing to create micro-financing division. Actually, banks have begun to provide credit to SMEs, but new to the SMEs that have been long enough from operating, but still many SMEs are still new, need guidance and financing.
Fourth, the government could require companies with a certain amount of assets to build some SMEs. For instance, Astra, Telkomsel, Sinarmas has assisted SMEs.
Fifth, improvement of infrastructure. However eventually the economy will grow if there is efficiency. Efficiency in the end is the cost, the biggest cost is transportation. There are two kinds of infrastructure, namely the priority and non priority. Which includes priority is transportation from the port to a place, because it is the economic path. So, I think that commitment not only from the Government, but of all elements including the Parliament, private, and others, said Suhartono. (Swa.co.id)
