Indonesia seeks stable growth amid reform push
Indonesia moves through a year of economic reform under Suharto. Inflation fell from 650 percent in 1966 to 120 percent, but budget gaps persisted. Measures included petrol and utility price hikes, a restructuring of foreign trade, and debt rescheduling. Export and import controls faced criticism amid bureaucratic delays, while a rice distribution crisis hit urban residents. Foreign investment attracted few firm contracts, with many projects long term in nature.
