Low investment growth a concern: Minister

Low levels of investment remain a concern for Indonesia, despite healthy growth in the second quarter, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Tuesday, Dow Jones reported.

"What needs to be monitored is investment growth, which is quite low compared to levels in 2008," Indrawati said.

However, both import and export growth should pick up during the second half of the year, she said, noting "signs of recovery."

Investment grew 2.7% on-year between April and June, official data showed.
