Govt allocates Rp70 trillion for infrastructure in 2009

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The government has earmarked Rp70 trillion in funds for the development of the infrastructure sector in the country in 2009, a spokesman said. 

"We have set aside at least Rp70 trillion for the development of infrastructure facilities next year," deputy to the chief economic minister for infrastructure and regional affairs, Bambang Susantono said here on Wednesday. 

He said that the funds were enough for the development of infrastructures; and for that purpose, the government was to work out the most efficient funding schemes. 

According to Susantono, amid the global economic meltdown, funds from the private sector would become limited so that development should rely on the state budget, especially development for the infrastructures.
