Presiden saat membuka pertemuan regional Asia Pasifik tentang Kredit Mikro di Nusa Dua Bali, Senin, mengatakan, tingginya harga minyak membuat masalah kemiskinan semakin besar sehingga banyak negara yang merevisi perkiraan ekonominya dan menurunkan ekspekstasinya.
The oil price surges had worsened the poverty problem and forced many countries to revise their economic projections and expectations, the President said in his speech opening the Asia Pacific Regional Micro Credit Summit here on Monday.
