Switzerland considers RI a priority country in Asia |
|
As the center of gravity of international politics and economics moves toward Asia, Switzerland, a tiny but prosperous European nation, has picked Indonesia as one of the priority countries in Asia to develop a new partnership with.
"We have selected seven priority countries from all over the world in the context of our development cooperation for the period of 2008-2012. Indonesia is one of them," Swiss Ambassador to Indonesia Bernardino Regazzoni told The Jakarta Post during a recent interview at his office in Jakarta.
The six other countries are Egypt, Ghana, Colombia, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam.
All seven countries, Ambassador Regazzoni said, were presently enjoying rapid economic growth and striving toward greater integration into the global economy, and they boasted predominant positions in their respective regions.
For instance, Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, has recorded 6.1 percent economic growth in 2008 amid the global slowdown. |

Indonesian Economic Outlook for 2009 |
 The dynamics of the Indonesian economy are very closely interlinked with the global and regional economy and influenced by progress improvements in the investment climate, infrastructure, productivity, competitiveness and domestic supply constraints. Therefore, due to the recent global economic crisis, Indonesian government has revised its economic growth target downward to 4.7% from the previous level of 5% under the impact of slackening global demand for Indonesian products, according to Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati on January 2009. "The worst-case scenario for Indonesia's export growth would be zero expansion. The total value of exports could grow by 0% to 5%, much lower than the 9% to 10% in 2008," she said. The initial growth target was no longer realistic as the decrease in export and import volumes has been biting since October 2008, earlier than expected, Indrawati said. |
