billion. The value of long-term loans grew by 7.9 percant year on year (yoy),

creditors were the most sensitive but made up just 5 perfect of the total loans
as of March.

controlled,” he asserted on the sidelines of the islamic Development Bank’s
41st Annual Meeting in Jakarta.

market’s focus will be on whether our foreign exchange reserves can plug the
outflows.” He said.
