Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Investment and Head of the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia has asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to not interfere with Indonesia’s policies on downstreaming and banning commodity exports.

The Indonesian Government appreciates the IMF sharing its views and recommendations regarding macroeconomic growth in the country, Lahadalia said at a press conference in Jakarta on Friday.

However, the IMF can be said to be applying a double standard, since, on the one hand, it is supporting downstreaming goals, but on the other, it is opposing the export ban, he added.

"This is a double standard in my opinion; in my opinion, what the government is doing is on the right track, and we respect them, their views, but we should not be influenced by their views when it is not objective in the direction of the country's goals. Those who know the country's goals are our own country, the government of the Republic of Indonesia, and the people, nothing else," Lahadalia affirmed.

Which of the following is the best suggestion that you could give to the IMF based on the text?

• You had better manage the countries that have lots of debt.

• You should not interfere with our human capital development.

• You ought to talk with the president of Indonesia, otherwise it's improbable to carry out.

• I suggest you stop Indonesia's policies on downstreaming and banning commodity exports

• You shouldn't apply a double standard on donwstreaming and commodity exports.
