ISEI faces greater challenges<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
The Indonesian Economists Association (ISEI) is a professional
\norganization that groups together thousands of economists across
\nthe country.<\/p>\n
Its members work in various fields, such as in the
\nbureaucracy, the academic field as well as the private sector.<\/p>\n
Since its establishment in 1955, ISEI has been transformed
\ninto a prestigious association, thanks in part to the fact that a
\nnumber of its members often fill top positions in the
\nbureaucracy.<\/p>\n
As an organization, as stipulated in its statutes, ISEI has
\nthree main objectives: putting together economists across the
\nnation in one institution to devote themselves to the betterment
\nof the country, developing economics as a science to be used for
\nthe benefit of the country, and developing the knowledge and
\nskills of its members.<\/p>\n
As part of its contribution to the development of the country,
\nISEI has long conveyed its thoughts, input and recommendations to
\nthe government on how the economy would be best run, based on
\neconomic analysis.<\/p>\n
Input is often in the form of a statement issued after the
\ncompletion of each of its congresses.<\/p>\n
Anwar Nasution, a ISEI cochairman who is also senior deputy
\ngovernor at the central bank, said on the sidelines of the 15th
\nCongress held in Batu, Malang, East Java, that the current
\neconomic conditions provided greater challenges for the members
\nof ISEI to find solutions than in the past.<\/p>\n
\"We never had such domestic debts in the past or had to think
\nof graduating from the International Monetary Fund's tutelage.
\nEconomists are now forced to come up with solutions to these
\nproblems, which are tough ones,\" Anwar said. --JP<\/p>",
