Not only only have I been asked by readers, as well as friends, on how Indonesia’s position is in this global economic turmoil. I answered to that question swiftly, “I do not know, dudes!” But, those highly-educated economists in Asian Development Bank (ADB) know it well. I got this from their website. It describes Asian prominent economies comparing last year, this year, and next year.

As we can see, our position is not really bad in this year (I sorted decently only in 2009). For my fellow Indonesians who have been worried about Vietnam: Do not worry, they’ll simply saturate anytime soon.
