Tambahan utang nominal adalah karena perubahan nilai tukar terutama untuk pinjaman luar negeri, dan kemudian adanya tambahan penerbitan untuk menutupi defisit anggaran, kata Menkeu.
The increase in the nominal value of debts was due to fluctuations in the rupiah's exchange rate against foreign currencies and additinal issuance of state debentures to cover the state budget deficit, the minister said.
