Kupang (Antara Bali) - East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Governor Frans Lebu Raya has warned the public in the province to be prepared for the impact of the European debt crisis.
"Let us beware of the impact of the ongoing European crisis, which might spread to the regional level," the governor said at a coordination meeting here on Thursday.
Lebu added that the local government should also be ready to deal with the possible impact of the European crisis on the province.
The governor urged his people to remain alert, because Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo said the European crisis was unlikely to end in the near future.
Agus stated that the crisis in Europe was likely to continue for a long period and, therefore, the Indonesian government would need to prepare itself so the crisis would not hamper the country's economy.(IGT)
