REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, YOGYAKARTA - ASEAN single market to be establish in 2015 is predicted to prosper Indonesia as the country's economy grows well. The optimism was well-reasoned, Coordinating Minister of Economy, Hatta Rajasa, said.

He said that according to a survey, more than 50 percent of potential investors preferred Indonesia as an investment destination. Moreover, much data show that non-formal sector, such as agricultural sector, has been transformed into formal sector, such as industry.

Yet, Rajasa admitted that Indonesia must improve the wealth distribution since the gap between middle class and low class is wider as the economic condition of middle class grows rapidly. "It is because of the financial source is not accessible to everyone," he said.

Currently, the gap is around 0.41 percent. He expects the amount to be reduced in 2013.
