Government debt as a share of GDP has fallen by 70% over the past decade and is
now lower than 85% of OECD countires. Inflation has decreased from 20% to 8% and is now
comparable with more mature economies such as South Africa and Turkey.
Indonesia economic growth centres almost exclusively on Jakarta; in fact, many other
Indonesian cities are growing more rapidly albeit from a lower base. The fastest growing
urban centres are large and mid-sized middleweight cities with more than two million
inhabitants (excluding Jakarta), which have posted annual average growth of 6.4% since
2002.
