The impact of the economic crisis in Europe on Indonesia is very small as Indonesia`s trade and leading exports to Europe were still low. At the meeting, Boediono added, cooperation with Indonesia was hailed, and expected to serve as basis of cooperation with other countries in Southeast Asia, and the IMF wished to see Indonesia as the biggest and most important country in ASEAN. That is why the IMF spoke highly of Indonesia
