Indonesia’s posts $6 billion budget surplus in January – Finance Minister

JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia had a 90.8 trillion rupiah ($5.97 billion) budget surplus in January or 0.43% of gross domestic product, as a risk of lower economic growth this year still lingers amid a global economy slowdown, finance minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said on Wednesday.

Government revenues in January rose 48.1% on a yearly basis to 232.2 trillion rupiah, while spending rose 11.2% to 141.4 trillion rupiah.
