JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s annual economic growth in the fourth quarter is seen around 5%, which will take last year’s growth to 4%, finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, told a parliamentary hearing on Wednesday.

Sri Mulyani said economic indicators have improved in the October-December quarter, with domestic consumption and production back to pre-pandemic levels, even after its recovery during the COVID-19 crisis was hit by a new wave of infections in July-September.
