Greek crisis not to affect Indonesia: finance minister

JAKARTA, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Newly appointed Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo has said that the Greek debt crisis which has caused share prices worldwide to fall would not affect the Indonesian economy, the Jakarta Post reported on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday after attending the plenary session of the House of Representatives, the finance minister said that the Indonesian economy remained fundamentally strong despite the significant fall in share prices and the decline in the rupiah against the U.S. dollar in the recent days.

"I'm optimistic, Indonesia can face the financial storm safely thanks to a healthy state budget and the country's strong cash flow,"he said.

Given these encouraging economic factors, he said that the people need not fear any possible negative impact of the Greek crisis on the Indonesian economy.
