Pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia meningkat tipis dari 4,9 persen tahun 2015 menjadi 5,0 persen tahun 2016.
Kita berharap tahun 2016 merupakan turning point atau titik balik setelah sebelumnya selama lima tahun berturut-turut Indonesia mengalami perlambatan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Untuk itu energi yang berceceran harus dihimpun. Kita harus kerja keras.
Tantangan yang dihadapi tidak ringan. Belanja pemerintah belum bisa diharapkan menyumbang pertumbuhan ekonomi, karena tahun 2017 bisa dikatakan sebagai tahun koreksi setelah dua tahun berturut-turut sebelumnya terlalu ambisius.
Kalau kita cermanti pergerakan triwulanan, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia masih mengalami penurunan pada triwulan ketiga dan keempat tahun 2016.
Hari ini Bank Indonesia mengoreksi ke bawah pertumbuhan ekonomi triwulan I-2016 yang sebelumnya diperkirakan 5,05 persen.
