"At the coordination meeting in the afternoon (Monday afternoon) we brought up the programs for discussion and at the coordination meeting next week we could announce the 10 final draft programs to accelerate economic recovery," he said here on Monday. The ten priority programs include creating stability in the financial sector, improving the villagers` welfare to strengthen socio-political stability, spurring the development of macro-, small-and medium-scale businesses, increasing farmers` productivity and welfare, emphasizing economic recovery based on investment rather than loans, and boosting exports. In addition, the economic team would also focus its attention on spurring privatization, decentralizing the economy while maintaining fiscal equilibrium, optimizing the use of natural resources and accelerating the restructuring of the banking and business sectors. He said the current cabinet was more technical in that it would take decisions and steps all at once, while allowing the President and Vice President to take strategic decisions. "The ministers are authorized (to make decisions) at a technical level only," he said. On the Master of Settlement and Acquisition Agreement (MSAA), he said the coordinating minister of economic affairs and the chief of the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) would follow up on the evaluation process of the agreement by taking into account inputs from the House of Representatives (DPR). But he believed that the government would not suffer from the agreement because it stuck to the principle of justice.
