Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, acting director of the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics, said: "The global economic slowdown is one of the reasons for the lack of momentum in Indonesia's economic growth; in addition, extreme weather phenomena such as El Niño have hampered the operations of the agricultural sector, especially in the second half of 2023.。From the production side, China's economic growth in 2023 will mainly benefit from the processing industry, trade, transportation and warehousing, and information and communication industries.。"
