RI to use Japan guarantees<\/p>\n
TOKYO (Dow Jones): The Indonesian finance minister told his
\nJapanese counterpart during a meeting in Tokyo Monday that
\nJakarta wants to make use of Japanese bond guarantees in the
\nfuture, according to a finance ministry official who attended the
\nmeeting.<\/p>\n
In a briefing on the meeting, the ministry official said that
\nJapanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa "listened" to
\nIndonesian Finance Minister Bambang Subianto's explanation of his
\ncountry's hopes to use the guarantees.<\/p>\n
Miyazawa announced a plan to guarantee Asian sovereign debt at
\nlast month's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, with the
\nplan taking effect from Oct. 1.<\/p>\n
Emerging from his meeting with the Japanese finance minister
\nMonday, Subianto told reporters that he and Miyazawa had "follow-
\nup discussions on the issue of bonds."<\/p>\n
Subianto said it was "premature" to discuss the amount of
\nbonds Indonesia plans to issue, adding that the two sides will
\nhave more discussions.<\/p>\n
Subianto said that the Indonesian government has to make
\n"careful preparations to ensure that risk is minimized."<\/p>",
