REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - International Monetary Fund (IMF) once again trims the forecast of Indonesian economic growth from 6.1 percent to 6 percent. Global economic slowdown affected Indonesian economy, Senior Resident Representative IMF for Indonesia, Benedict Bingham, said.

"We have revised the forecast from 6.1 percent to 6.0 percent," Benedict said on Wednesday while visiting Republika.

There has not been any solution to recession in Europe and US. Meanwhile, China economic growth is also slowing down. Every country including Indonesia was affected by the global crisis.

IMF has scaled back the estimation of global growth along with the worsening of debt crisis in Europe. IMF also reminds that the global economic slowdown will happen unless the US and Europe take immediate step to overcome the threat to their economy.
