JAKARTA (Xinhua): Despite discouraging economic trends, Indonesia remains optimistic that its economy will grow positively, especially during the further spread of the Covid-19 which has claimed 306 lives till Friday(April 10).

Such economic indications include the central bank's current foreign exchange reserves which dropped US$9.4 billion to US$121 billion last month (March, 2020) as the lender has intensified intervention in the financial market to strengthen the Indonesian rupiah.
