He invited all components of the nation to be grateful for in the midst of the global economic slowdown, Indonesia is still experiencing positive growth.

“the world economic growth based on world Bank forecast to slow to 3.1 percent from 3.5 percent in 2016, is a challenge that we must face,” he said.

Jokowi said amid a slowdown in the world economy, Indonesia’s economy in the first quarter 2016 reached 4.91 percent, in the second quarter 2016 amounted to 5.18 percent and the third quarter of 2016 amounted to 5.02 percent.

“we are grateful that we include the third-highest after China and India, “he said.
He mentions various other indicators also showed improvements such as poverty, unemployment and inequality figures.

” the poverty rate, although small, has decreased, unemployment also fell while other countries soaring. Gini ratio also improved, do not go up again, it was 0,397, no matter how small must come down, “he said.
He said the inflation rate in the last two years can also be controlled as well.

” Last year reached 3, 5 percent, this year is estimated at 3.0 percent, this means that the rise in prices of goods can be controlled, “he said.

He mentioned the high economic growth would be meaningless if inflation is too high.

“If economic growth of 5.0 percent, inflation at 3.0 percent, still there is a difference of 1.5 percent, but if economic growth of 5.0 percent, while inflation was 8.0 percent, that means we come up short, “he said. (Ant.)
