PRESIDENT TO FORM NATIONAL ECONOMIC COMMITTEE
Jakarta, Jan. 29 (ANTARA) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the near future will form a National Economic Committee to help the government prepare for and address economic issues.
"In the near future, I will set up a National Economic Committee which will help the government. So We won't be busy only when facing a crisis, but even in normal conditions we could establish partnership, and we could give appropriate responses when there are crises or problems," the President said here on Friday when opening the National Food Seminar organized by Kadin (Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) here on Friday.
The committee would be aimed at continuing the successful partnership among the government, businessmen and economists in dealing with the global financial crisis 2008-2009.
When the global financial crisis started to hit in 2008, the president set up an integrated team involving the government, businessmen, and economists to minimize the impacts of the crisis on the national economy, Yudhoyono said.
On the National Food Seminar, the head of state expressed his hope that there would be ideas to boost the country's food sufficiency and even to produce more for exports.
"We hope that we are not only produce adequate food for Indonesia's 230 million population, but even supply food to other countries as part of our responsibility and commitment to guarding the world's food resilience," President Yudhoyono said.***
