The key findings on Indonesia include:
Indonesia 's economy will be less affected , with 2005 growth slipping from a forecast 5.7% previously to 5.4% now.
The key challenge for Indonesia could be on the political front : dealing swiftly and efficiently with the disaster will be an important test for the new president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono . Some form of debt relief will probably be part of the humanitarian response to the disaster. Indonesia could save as much as US$3.5bn in debt–service in 2005 .
