Abstract: | Will political uncertainty stall Indonesia's economy? The worst riots in Jakarta in two decades have shaken attorney Mulya Lubis. At the entrance of his office in the swank steel-and-glass Wisma Bank Dharmala office tower, soldiers bearing automatic weapons are now posted. Lubis, who does pro-bono work of human rights groups, worries the already tense situation could get worse. The jitters of Jakarta's business community highlight just how vulnerable the Indonesian economy has suddenly become. The key question is whether Indonesia can maintain its current economic growth rate of 7.8% through what promises to be a rocky political period. |
