Government Department, Fisip, Undip, held public lecture on “the World Bank and Poverty Eradication in the World in general and in Indonesia”, 7/3. Joachim von Amsberg, Ph.D, the director of WB Indonesia, explains the economic conditions of the developing economies, including Indonesia, how the WB play its roles in order to push the economy of developing countries, and what has been achieved. “Indonesia has political stability and consolidated democracy”, von Amsberg asserts. Therefore, Amsberg adds, macroeconomy and fiscal management is getting stronger. Indonesian economy is getting better. He also argues that Indonesia has potential that it can be as developed as Austalia. Workforce is the main strength of the Indonesian economy to revive in industrial sectors.
However, von Amsberg says, there are challenging situations Indonesia has to face, namely globalised economic system, that Indonesia has to prepare its economic structure. Therefore, intensifying cooperation with the WB in development, can be part of efforts to prepare Indonesian people in a globalized world. PNM-Mandiri, BOS-Kita, and infrastructure development are amongst the real contribution of the WB in eradicating corruption in Indonesia, von Amsberg says.
Von Amsberg, responding to some questions that criticize WB as “capitalist”, asserts that, “the projects are not by the WB. It is by your own government”.
