of GDP). This is evidenced by increasing the real value of Indonesia's GDP from year to year
Ø Inflation rate in Indonesia despite fluctuating but it is still maintained and quite well controlled by government to support

Corrup;on.

improved
from
2.8
in
2010
to
3.0
in
2011,
much
s;ll
need
to
be
done.
Ø
Unemployment rate is still quite high, although there is a tendency to decline
in the last 5 years. Work participation rate is still pretty good (above 60%), and
the employment rate has reached above 90% of the total labor force.
Ø Domestic consumption and exports remains the largest contributor to
Indonesia's GDP and this needs to be improved, particularly for domestic
consumption. As we know, high domestic consumption is quite good in warding
off the economic crisis because national economy is not too dependent on the
influence of foreign markets

growth of GDP). This is evidenced by increasing the real value of Indonesia's GDP from year to year
Ø Inflation rate in Indonesia despite fluctuating but it is still maintained and quite well controlled by government to
