REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts that national economic growth will remain at 6.3 percent in 2013 due to import declining. 

Senior Country Economist Indonesia ADB, Edimon Ginting, said export import would contribute positively to Indonesia next year. Ginting explained that import for consumption would decline as exchange rate was depreciated. 

"Investment also contributes to economic growth next year. The growth of domestic credit this year is 23 percent, but investment growth can surpass 30 percent," Edimon said on Monday.

People's consumption also contributes to three percent of gross domestic income. The rate of state loan is still lower than gross domestic income. He predicted that continuity of consumption was still high.

Edimon also predicted that inflation rate would decline by the end of the year. "The inflation will be 4.3 percent by the end of 2012," he said.
