Why is Indonesia growing so slowly? The very question seems absurd. A huge exporter of coal, liquefied natural gas and palm oil, Indonesia’s economy continues to rattle along at 6 per cent. Driven in large part by domestic demand, it is reckoned to be among the most resilient economies to external shock. Its finances look rock solid too. With near-balanced budgets, low inflation and a debt-to-gross domestic product ratio of 25 per cent, it is enough to turn a Greek statistician honest.
印尼為何增長(zhǎng)如此緩慢？這個(gè)問(wèn)題似乎很可笑。作為煤炭、液化天然氣和棕櫚油的大型出口國(guó)，印尼經(jīng)濟(jì)繼續(xù)以6%的速度增長(zhǎng)。該國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的動(dòng)力主要源自于國(guó)內(nèi)需求，因此被列為在對(duì)外部沖擊面前最為抗跌的經(jīng)濟(jì)體之一。印尼財(cái)政看上去也非常穩(wěn)固。印尼的預(yù)算近乎平衡、通脹處于低位、債務(wù)與國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)之比僅為25%——如果擁有這樣的數(shù)字，希臘統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)家根本用不著撒謊。
