Bankers mobilized in Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta administration is mobilizing bankers
to take part in funding the city's development programs.

Jakarta Governor Surjadi Soedirja in a meeting with the
bankers explained on Wednesday some of the city's development
programs, such as the reclamation plan along Jakarta Bay, the
planned underground mass rapid transportation system and slum
area rehabilitation schemes.

The programs, Surjadi said, were aimed at helping Jakarta
become a service center in the 21st century.

"Please, choose for yourself which programs you want to
participate in," Surjadi said.

The bankers agreed to form a communication forum to help
realize the idea and named the Bank DKI director the forum's
secretary.

Surjadi said that to support the program for assisting small-
scale businesses, the bankers could help them with the marketing
of their products. (01)
