Heres something to go with that. Friday May 8, 1:35 pm Eastern Time INDONESIAN FINMIN SEES SIGNS OF ECONOMIC STABILITY WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - Finance Minister Fuad Bawazier said on Friday there are signs that Indonesia's shaky economy has begun to stabilize. ''There are signs that economic conditions have begun to stabilize so that the economy can begin to move from a period of stark contraction to a period of modest growth. But resumption of rapid growth may lie further in the future,'' Bawazier told an Export-Import Bank conference. He also stressed Indonesia's commitment to economic and financial reform. ''The government of Indonesia is fully committed to the implementation of all steps necessary to achieve the goal of economic restructuring in the shortest time possible,'' he said. ''We will implement all necessary measures, no matter how painful, to ensure that our banking sector works effectively and meets the highest prudential standards,'' he added. davidh

To all - just wanted to repost excerpts of the Bloomberg article originally posted by JPC {#4384)talking about privatization of Indonesian government owned companies...Any insights gang re DGIV getting into the fray? Jakarta, May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia has formally asked for proposals from bankers to raise $2.5 billion from the sale of stakes in 12 government companies. The government aims to cut its stake in five publicly traded companies including domestic phone monopoly PT Telkom, and to privatize seven other wholly owned government firms. Indonesia is selling the assets to help the government raise funds for the current fiscal year ending March 1999. The country is reeling from the 74% collapse of the rupiah to the US dollar in a year, which has triggered the country's first recession in more than 20 years.The privatization plan is part of the country's agreement with the IMF, which is leading a $40Billion bailout for the country. In a letter sent to bankers yesterday, the country asked for proposals from financial advisers on the privatization strategy. The letter was sent by government-owed securities firms PT Danareksa Sekuritas and PT Bahana securities. Governement officials couldn't be reached for comment on the letter. Indonesia plans to reduce its stake to 51% in each of the 12 companies, including publicly traded Telkom, PT Indosat, PT Semen Gresik, PT Tambang Timah, and PT Aneka Tambang, the letter said.

The government set a May 18 deadline for submission of written proposals for the privatization. [..rest deleted..]
