 In the 1960s, the economy deteriorated drastically as a result of political instability, a young and inexperienced government, and economic nationalism, the which resulted in severe poverty and hunger. By the time of Sukarno's Downfall in the mid-1960s, the economy was in chaos with 1.000% annual inflation, shrinking export revenues, crumbling infrastructure, factories operating at minimal capacity, and negligible investment. Following President Sukarno's Downfall in the mid-1960s, the New Order administration Brought a degree of discipline to economic policy Quickly That Brought inflation down, stabilized the currency, rescheduled foreign debt, and attracted foreign aid and investment. (See Berkeley Mafia). Indonesia was until recently Southeast Asia's only member of OPEC, and the 1970s oil price Raises provided an export revenue windfall That Contributed to sustaining high economic growth rates, averaging over 7% from 1968 to 1981. [103] Following Further reforms in the late 1980s , [104] foreign investment flowed into Indonesia, particularly into the rapidly developing export-oriented manufacturing sector, and from 1989 to 1997, the Indonesian economy grew by an average of over 7%. [105] [106]
Indonesia was the country hardest hit by the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98. Against the U.S. dollar, the rupiah dropped from about Rp. 2.600 to a low point of 14.000, and the economy shrank by 13.7%. [107] The rupiah stabilised in the Rp. 8.000 to 10.000 range, [108] and a slow but significant economic recovery has ensued. However, political instability, slow economic reform, and corruption slowed the recovery. [7] [8] Transparency International, for example, Indonesia has since ranked below 100 in its Corruption Perceptions Index. [109] [110] Nevertheless, GDP growth averaged 5% of the between 2004 and 2006. [111] The Growth, unfortunately, was not widely Able to Make a real impact toward unemployment and poverty, particularly due to the stagnant wages and rapid hikes in food, oil and gas prices. [112] [ 113] Since 2007, however, with the improvement in banking sector and domestic consumption, the national economic growth has been 6% Annually [114] [115] [116] and this helped the country weather the global recession from 2008 to 2009. [117 ] As of 2010, an estimated 13.3% of the population was living below poverty line, and the unemployment rate was 7.1%
