analyses of Indonesia will be issued by the Jakarta-based Center
for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The first is the Bulletin of Economic Indonesian Studies,
which analyzes the Indonesian economic situation, is published by
the Indonesia Project at Australian National University in
cooperation with CSIS.

The bulletin covers a wide range of subjects including the
country's foreign debt, agricultural issues and industrial
development.

The editorial board of the bulletin comprises several
prominent economists such as Mubyarto from Gadjah Mada University
who helped design Indonesia's antipoverty campaign, and Dr.
Boediono, who is the director of research at the central Bank
Indonesia.

The second journal is the Pacific Economic Outlook which will
be published by the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC).

PECC is a tripartite platform consisting of academics,
government officials, in their private capacities, and
businesspeople.

PECC came into being in 1986 and was the genesis which helped
create the 18-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

The annual Pacific Economic Outlook contains an analysis of
the Asia-Pacific region through economic outlooks of individual
countries both in terms of their previous year performance and
forecasts for the coming year. (mds)
