Betulkah Indonesia bangkrut? Ternyata tidak. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang minus 13,6 persen pada 1998 sudah kembali positif pada 1999, meski baru 0,62 persen. Kurs rupiah yang pernah menyentuh Rp 16.000 per dolar turun separuhnya menjadi sekitar Rp 8.000.
Bahwa perekonomian masih sulit, utang luar negeri membengkak, jumlah masyarakat miskin bertambah banyak, pengangguran berlipat, betul, tapi perekonomian masih tetap jalan. Setidaknya: tidak bangkrut!
