The central bank's governor, Darmin Nasution, said here on Thursday that the country's economy is expected to grow 6.4 percent in the second quarter, or slightly lower than the projected 6.5 percent for the first quarter of 2012.
Also, the economy is projected to grow between 6.3 and 6.7 percent in 2012, and to 6.4 and 6.8 percent in 2013.
The continued high economic growth in the midst of a slowing global economy occurs because of strong domestic demand and consumption, as well as increasing investment, according to officials.
Further, the balance of risks for 2012 shows growth tends declining due to the impact of slowing global economic growth and a new government policy on fuel prices, if no stimulus is given, especially through a fiscal policy.(IGT)
