Spaniards Little Upset That Has Lost Bid !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Vacancy

Lowongan Kerja - The Spain-Portugal bid had been low-profile all along. Even on decision day it was not front-page news, and barely merited a mention on the morning TV bulletins. - Job Indonesia
Last week, Miguel Angel Lopez - the man heading the bid team - explained that the focus was on securing the support of Fifa's 22 executive members, not "handing out glasses of Spanish wine at events."
Some suggest Spaniards are still smarting after giving heart and soul to their bid to host the 2016 Olympics, and losing.

Spaniards Little Upset

So there were no expectant crowds out on the chilly streets today.
But plenty of people had been quietly confident about their chances.
What the Iberian bid offered was a safe bet for Fifa: a sure-fire footballing fiesta, held in two countries that are passionate about the game.
Much of the infrastructure was already in place. Spain has Europe's biggest and best high-speed rail network, and several refurbished airports; together, Spain and Portugal offered seven elite stadiums already built, and in use - and no trouble at all in filling them.
Presenting the Iberian bid in Zurich, Prime Minister Zapatero also highlighted the peninsula's enticing scenery and culture - and the climate.
Fifa, though, went for something completely different.
'Real shame' "Iberian Disappointment," was the reaction on Marca.com, a sports website, as news of Russia's victory emerged. "Spain and Portugal's dream is over."
That regret was reflected on the streets of Madrid.
"All us football fans would have loved to have the World Cup here, so close, so we could go," Ricardo said. "It's a real shame we lost."
"It's regrettable, because I think Spain has the best league in the world," said Pedro. "People would have been very excited, especially after just winning the World Cup."
Some people think the fact that Spain had already hosted a World Cup - in 1982 - counted against it. Others blame global politics.
Spanish newspapers suggest the Iberian bid's final presentation did not help: "flat and unimaginative," according to El Pais.
Winning the contest to host the World Cup could have lifted the mood in two countries in the deep gloom of recession. But some people are relieved it went to Russia.
"I'm happy we didn't win," says Juanjo Bombillas. "I don't think the economic circumstances here are right now to make the kind of investment we'd have needed."
At least Spain has its success on the pitch as consolation.
"Losing this doesn't bother me," Javier said. "We're already world champions, so let Russia have this one - I don't mind."

2 Scientists Become Victims (Iran arrests over attacks on nuclear scientists)

Author: bbc.co.uk - Lowongan Kerja

Job Vacancy - One scientist was killed and another left seriously injured. Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said a number of people were identified and arrested in connection with what he called the two terrorist attacks. Mr Moslehi did not identify the suspects, nor did he say how many people had been arrested. But he did repeat Iran's claim that the intelligence services of the US, Britain, and Israel were responsible for the attacks. - Job Indonesia

The two scientists Victims

The two scientists, Majid Shahriari and Fereydoon Abbasi, were targeted separately as each drove to work on Monday morning. Reports said motorcyclists drove alongside the scientists' cars, attached magnetised bombs to the side of the vehicles, and then drove away. The bombs exploded, killing Dr Shahriari and seriously injuring Dr Abbasi. The attacks and subsequent arrests come just a few days before Iran is due to restart talks on its nuclear programme with the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.

US-Japan Starts Military Exercises Since North Korea Tensions Rise !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Indonesia

Lowongan Kerja - More than 44,000 Japanese and American military personnel are taking part in the drill off Japan's southern islands. - Job Vacancy
40 Japanese and 20 US warships are also involved, as are hundreds of military aircraft.
The exercises come 10 days after North Korea shelled a South Korean island, killing four people.
South Korean observers are present for the first time.
'Immediate threat' The joint military exercises - codenamed Keen Sword - are being held to mark the 50th anniversary of the US-Japan alliance.

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington

They are intended to be a show of solidarity between the Pacific allies at a time of heightened tension in the region, says the BBC's Roland Buerk in Tokyo.
The drills were planned well before North Korea shelled the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong last month, killing two marines and two civilians.
But they come just days after the United States and South Korea carried out their own joint military exercises, putting on a show of force in the Yellow Sea.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said North Korea remained "an immediate threat to the region around it, particularly to South Korea and Japan".
North Korea also posed "a medium-term threat, should it collapse, to China", she said.
Beijing has criticised the manoeuvres and called for more talks with Pyongyang, saying it is better to negotiate than "brandish weapons".
Japan's government has been on high alert since North Korea shelled the island of Yeonpyeong on 23 November, killing at least four South Koreans.
Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan ordered his ministers to step up information-gathering and be prepared for emergencies.
About 50,000 US soldiers are stationed in Japan.
The US-Japan exercises will continue until 10 December.

Wikileaks: Mr.Sarkozy 'chased pet rabbit around office' !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Vacancy

Lowongan Kerja - Mr.Sarkozy invited Craig Stapleton to see him in 2006 saying how proud he was to meet President George W Bush. - Job Indonesia
He later introduced his nine-year-old son, Louis, who had "a small dog at his feet and a large rabbit in his arms".
When Louis put the rabbit down to shake hands, the dog started chasing it. Mr Sarkozy then had to run after the pets.
The incident is described in one of the 251,287 classified cables the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks says it has obtained and shared with several newspapers.

The "rare glimpse of a relaxed Sarkozy" came when Mr Stapleton visited the then interior minister at his office at Place Beauvau in Paris.
"Sarkozy went to the line of floor-to-ceiling windows that open from the interior minister's office to the gardens of the interior ministry, and called over... Louis, who was playing on the lawn," the cable says.
"Louis appeared at the threshold with a small dog at his feet and a large rabbit in his arms," it adds.
"To shake hands with the ambassador, Louis put down the rabbit - and the dog started chasing the rabbit through Sarkozy's office, which led to the unforgettable sight of Sarkozy, bent over, chasing the dog through the ante-room to his office as the dog chased the rabbit, and Louis filled the room with gleeful laughter."

It's Not UFO !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Lowongan Kerja - The scientist has made a detailed study of an unusual event in 2006 when large meteors were observed over Brisbane. - Job Vacancy
Their appearance occurred at the same time as a brilliant green object was seen to roll over nearby mountains. - Job Indonesia
Dr Hughes has put forward a theory linking the object - presumed to be ball lighting - to the fireballs.
His idea is that one of the fireballs may have momentarily triggered an electrical connection between the upper atmosphere and the ground, providing energy for the ball lightning to appear above the hills.
He has written up his explanation in a journal of the Royal Society.
Dr Hughes says the extraordinary episode, which occurred during a night of fine weather, is just the sort of happening that might lead some to think they had witnessed UFO activity.

"If you put together inexplicable atmospheric phenomena, maybe of an electrical nature, with human psychology and the desire to see something - that could explain a lot of these UFO sightings," he told BBC News.

Eyewitnesses were asked to draw what they saw. This is how graphic designer David Sawell recalled a fireball

The scientist, who is a senior lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology, initiated the study after being called in by the local TV station to look over and explain photos of the fireballs captured by members of the public on camera phones.
Fireballs are exceptionally bright meteors and are produced by fragments of space rock larger than the sand-grain-sized particles responsible for shooting stars; but like shooting stars they cross the sky at great speed.
It seems at least three individual fireballs were seen on the night of 16 May 2006.

This photo gives a sense of the intense brightness of one of the fireballs

A subsequent survey organised by the university brought forward many more eyewitnesses, including a farmer who recalled seeing a luminous green ball rolling down a slope of the Great Divide, a mountainous ridge about 120km west of Brisbane.
This object described as being about 30cm in diameter appeared to jump over some rocks and follow the path of a metal fence for "some minutes". The farmer said he saw the green object come into view just after a fireball had passed overhead.
He thought at first he was witnessing a plane crash and called the police, but a search the following day found no wreckage.
Ball lightning seems an obvious explanation, says Dr Hughes. These bright, hovering spheres of light are not fully understood. They are known to be associated with thunderstorms, but not always, and there was certainly no electrical storm activity in the vicinity of the Great Divide.
Dr Hughes does not offer a new explanation for the causes of ball lightning, merely how enough energy might have been put into the ground to trigger it.
He proposes that the natural flow of current that exists between the upper-most reaches of the atmosphere, the ionosphere, and the ground was increased by the passage of the meteor that streamed charged particles and other conductive materials in its wake.

The ball lightning was seen to roll down the slope following the line of a wire fence

"Could it be that the meteor descending through the atmosphere, having passed through the ionosphere, actually created a transient conductive connection between the ionosphere and the ground, even if it was only for a few seconds? Was that enough to put charge into the ground, and then with the discharge form some kind of plasma ball above?
"Think of the ionosphere and the ground as the terminals on the battery and you put a wire between those two terminals and current flows, and literally you get a spark."
Other scientists have suggested that charges dissipating through the ground can create balls of glowing ionised gas above it.
Dr John Abrahamson from the University of Canterbury, NZ, championed the idea 10 years ago that ball lightning consisted of vaporised mineral grains kicked out of the soil by a conventional lightning strike, an idea later tested with some success by Brazilian researchers.
He described Dr Hughes' work as "relatively feasible" and something which made "interesting connections".
"There's a long way to go before everyone will be happy and satisfied that we have a full solution," he told BBC News.
Dr Hughes said his publication in Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences was intended to start a debate.
"It's not a vigorous theory; it's more a suggestion that may be worth exploring," he said.

Interpol issues "Red Notice" !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Vacancy

It said the Australian was wanted for questioning in Sweden over an alleged sex offence, which he has denied. - Job Indonesia
The Red Notice does not amount to an arrest warrant. Instead, it asks people to contact the police if they have any information about his whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Ecuador's President Rafael Correa has said he did not approve an offer of residency made to Mr Assange.

 Mr.Assange

Work praised Lowongan Kerja - Mr Assange, 39, has filed an appeal with Sweden's Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a ruling by the Stockholm district court earlier this month that he be detained for questioning on allegations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion, stemming from a visit in August.
His petition was rejected by the Stockholm appeals court last week.
Australia is also investigating whether he has broken any laws there.
Mr Assange has dismissed the allegations as part of a smear campaign.
His mother, Christine, has spoken of her distress at the Interpol alert.
Mrs Assange, who lives in Queensland, told Australian radio: "He's my son and I love him and obviously I don't want him hunted down and jailed. I'm reacting as any mother would. I'm distressed. A lot of stuff that's written about me and Julian is untrue."
On Monday, Ecuador's Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas had praised Mr Assange's investigative work and said he was welcome to live and lecture in the country "without any conditions".
But Mr Correa told reporters that the offer had "not been approved by Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino - or the president". Mr Patino said it would "have to be studied from the legal and diplomatic perspective".
Sweden turned down Mr Assange's application for residency in October. The Scandinavian country's laws protect whistle-blowers.

Prisoner Released By Mistake 3 Times ?

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Indonesia

Justice Minister David Ford called for an immediate disciplinary investigation into the matter. 
Lowongan Kerja - Sean Gerard Cahill was released after appearing at Laganside Courts on 24 November.
Cahill failed to turn up at Lisburn Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. He is the third prisoner released by mistake in two months. - Job Vacancy
Cahill was convicted and sentenced to one month imprisonment on a charge of aggravated vehicle-taking.
He was released at that point due to the time that he had spent on remand awaiting trial.

 David Ford

Rather than being released, Cahill should have been returned to custody pending a further hearing scheduled for Tuesday 30 November.
The second hearing was in relation to charges of robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and taking a vehicle without the owner's consent.
The error came to light when Cahill did not appear at Lisburn Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning.
David Ford said: "I have demanded that a disciplinary investigation be launched immediately into this most serious matter.
"It is vital that we urgently find out why this has happened, and if individuals are to blame I will move swiftly to take the appropriate action.
"This is the third time in a matter of months that a prisoner has been released in error and I share the public anger that will naturally follow this latest serious incident."
The justice minister will receive a fuller detailed briefing from officials on Wednesday morning.

Brazil Central Bank Head 'Ousted' as Inflation Rises !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk - Job Indonesia

Job Vacancy - His successor will be the central bank's financial regulation head, Alexandre Tombini, according to a report in Folha de Sao Paulo. - Lowongan Kerja

The widely expected move by recently elected President Dilma Rousseff may pave the way for interest rate cuts.

Yet data released on Tuesday showed that inflation is on the rise again, hitting 5.47% in November.

This is well above the central bank's year-end target of 4.5%.

The choice of Mr Tombini, an economist, from within the bank's ranks may provide some reassurance to financial markets that President Rousseff will not push as aggressively as previously feared for looser monetary policy.

Japan Passes New $61bn Stimulus Package !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Job Vacancy - The stimulus was designed to create jobs, Prime Minister Nato Kan said, through measures to help small businesses and boost consumer spending. Job Indonesia - The government has already introduced several stimulus packages. Earlier, figures showed that Japanese consumer prices fell for the 20th month in a row in October. - Lowongan Kerja

The vote in favour of the latest stimulus measures represents a victory for the government, which has struggled getting the package through parliament.

The move is in marked contrast to European governments' policies, which are focusing on cutting spending to secure growth.

Falling prices

 

Japan has been struggling with weak growth, a high yen and deflation.

The core consumer price index fell by 0.6% in October compared with a year earlier, official figures showed.

This was a slight improvement on the 1.1% price falls seen in September.

Deflation is particularly damaging to economic growth as consumers delay purchases until prices fall further.

The improvement from September does not reflect any improvement in consumer demand, analysts said.

"Even though the pace of the fall in prices slowed by 0.5 percentage points, this was not due to an improved demand-supply balance," said Asushi Matsumoto at the Mizuho Research Institute.

Instead, he said, it was down to one-off factors, such as a hike in cigarette prices.

This means that "exit from deflation will be slower than previously thought," Mr Matsumoto argued.

Weak exports

Japan is also struggling with a strong yen, which makes exports more expensive to overseas consumers.

Figures released on Thursday showed export growth slowing for the eighth month in a row, with exports to Europe falling for first time for almost a year.

Analysts say weaker exports could also contribute to reduced consumer demand.

"Weak growth in exports could worsen corporate earnings, thus lowering household incomes to dampen consumer demand," Mr Matsumoto said.

Euro Steady After Irish Republic 85bn Euro Bail-Out !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Lowongan Kerja - Ministers have reached an agreement over a bail-out worth about 85bn euros ($113bn; £72bn).

Job Indonesia - The deal will see 35bn euros go towards propping up the Irish banking system, with the remaining 50bn euros to help the government's day-to-day spending.

In early trade on Monday the euro was ahead by 0.40% at $1.3241.

It had earlier slipped to $1.3181, its lowest level since 21 September, before rebounding.

Reassurance

Meanwhile, European Central Bank policymaker Christian Noyer sought to bolster market confidence in the eurozone's rescue for the Republic.

Mr Noyer is the first member of the ECB's policy council to speak after eurozone ministers sealed the deal for Dublin on Sunday.

Mr Osborne hopes the eurosceptics in his own party will be reassured that Britain won't participate in eurozone bail-outs after 2013”

He said he was confident the deal would bring down Dublin's borrowing costs to more normal levels.

"There is no reason to doubt the recovery plans of the two countries," Mr Noyer said in a speech in Tokyo, referring to Ireland and Greece.

And French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said the bail-out was "sufficient" and that "irrational" markets were not correctly pricing the sovereign debt situation in Europe.

"The amount [of the bail-out] is sufficient because that will keep Ireland afloat for three years," she told RTL radio.

France and Germany have also said the Republic of Ireland bail-out should draw a line under its debt crisis.

And they have expressed confidence in Portugal's ability to correct its finances and avoid needing outside help.

'Best available deal'

An average interest rate of 5.8% will be payable on the loans, above the 5.2% paid by Greece for its bail-out.

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said it was the "best available deal for Ireland".

It provides "vital time and space to successfully and conclusively address the problems we've been dealing with since the financial crisis began", he said.

The Irish government has also said that interest payments on all state debt will account for more than 20% of tax revenues in 2014.

The deal does not require the Republic to change its low 12.5% corporation tax. -  Job Vacancy

Job Indonesia - Nielsen's role as a hapless doctor in the disaster spoof film Airplane! made him a comic star Veteran comic actor Leslie Nielsen, star of Airplane! and The Naked Gun, has died at the age of 84. -  Job Vacancy

He died in hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was being treated for pneumonia, his agent John S Kelly said. - Lowongan Kerja
Canadian-born Nielsen started out as a serious actor but in 1980, his role as a hapless doctor in the disaster spoof film Airplane! made him a comic star.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 films and had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. "With his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away," his nephew Doug Nielsen said, the AFP news agency reported.
'Don't call me Shirley', born in the Canadian city of Regina in 1926, Leslie Nielsen enjoyed an acting career which spanned six decades. He started as a television actor in New York in 1950, performing in about 150 live dramas.
In the mid-1950s, he moved to Hollywood, where he initially carved out a film career as a leading man, capitalising on his craggy good looks and 6ft2in (194cm) height.
Then in 1980 his deadpan delivery in the comedy disaster movie Airplane! marked him out as a gifted clown, says the BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani in Los Angeles.
It was in this role that he became known for the line "Don't call me Shirley".
The success of Airplane! led to another TV role in the spoof crime show Police Squad where he first played accident-prone detective Frank Drebin.
He went on to make three films as the same character in the Naked Gun series, starring opposite Priscilla Presley.
He continued working into his eighties.
Nearly two weeks ago - at the age of 84 - Nielsen was taken into hospital in Florida where he lived, suffering from pneumonia.
His condition had worsened over the last two days and relatives said he passed away peacefully, our correspondent says.

US Condemns Wikileaks Diplomatic Cables Release !!!

Author: bbc.co.uk

Job Vacancy - Between the revelations is a report Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah urged the US to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. - Lowongan Kerja

Job Indonesia - The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, said the US authorities were afraid of being held to account.

But the White House said the release was "reckless" put the lives of diplomats and others at risk.

One Republican congressman called for Wikileaks to be designated a terrorist organisation.

Peter King, a member of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, said the latest release "manifests Mr Assange's purposeful intent to damage not only our national interests in fighting the war on terror, but also undermines the very safety of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan".

The US Department of Defence says it is making its computer systems more secure to prevent future leaks.

Computer hacking

Wikileaks has only posted some 200 of the 251,287 messages it says it has obtained. However, the entire bundle of cables has been made available to five publications, including the New York Times and the UK's Guardian newspaper.

Continue reading the main story

Wikileaks

• Website with a reputation for publishing sensitive material
• Run by Julian Assange, an Australian with a background in computer network hacking
• Released 90,000 secret US records of US military incidents about the war in Afghanistan and 400,000 similar documents on Iraq
• Also posted video showing US helicopter killing 12 people - including two journalists - in Baghdad in 2007
• Other controversial postings include screenshots of the e-mail inbox and address book of US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin

Concerns aired in the documents include the security of Pakistani nuclear material that could be used to make an atomic weapon.

The widespread use of computer hacking by China's government is also reported.

The leaked US embassy cables also reportedly include accounts of:

• Iran attempting to adapt North Korean rockets for use as long-range missiles
• Corruption within the Afghan government with concerns heightened when a senior official was found to be carrying more than $52m (£33m) in cash on a foreign trip; - President Hamid Karzai is described as ''extremely weak'' and prone to being persuaded by conspiracy theories
• Bargaining to empty the Guantanamo Bay prison camp - including Slovenian diplomats being told to take in a freed prisoner if they wanted to secure a meeting with President Barack Obama
• Germany being warned in 2007 not to enforce arrest warrants for US Central Intelligence Agency officers involved in an operation in which an innocent German citizen with the same name as a suspected militant was abducted and held in Afghanistan
• US officials being instructed to spy on the UN leadership by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
• The very close relationship between Russian PM Vladimir Putin and his Italian counterpart Silvio Berlusconi
• Alleged links between the Russian government and organised crime
• Yemen's president talking to then US Mid-East commander General David Petraeus about attacks on Yemeni al-Qaeda bases and saying: "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours"
• Faltering US attempts to prevent Syria from supplying arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon

Shedding light on wars?

Wikileaks argues that the site's previous releases shed light on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The leaked embassy cables are both contemporary and historical, and include a 1989 note from a US diplomat in Panama City musing about the options open to Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega and referring to him as "a master of survival" - the author apparently had no idea that US forces would invade a week later and arrest Noriega.

In a statement, the White House said: "Such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government.

"President Obama supports responsible, accountable, and open government at home and around the world, but this reckless and dangerous action runs counter to that goal."

No-one has been charged with passing the diplomatic files to the website but suspicion has fallen on US Army private Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst arrested in Iraq in June and charged over an earlier leak of classified US documents to Mr Assange's organisation.

The cables release was the third mass Wikileaks release of classified documents since it published 77,000 secret US files on the Afghan conflict in July, and 400,000 documents about the Iraq war in October.

Wikileaks argues the release of the documents has shed light on the wars, including allegations of torture and reports that suggest 15,000 additional civilian deaths in Iraq.

Before Bangladesh Strike, Mass Arrests !!!

By: Anbarasan Ethirajan, BBC News, Dhaka 

Lowongan Kerja - Officials say they are arresting only those who might indulge in violence during the strike. -  Job Vacancy

Job Indonesia - The BNP has been holding rallies across the country for the last few days in protest at what they describe as anti-democratic moves by the government.

In many places police used tear gas and batons to disperse activists.

The BNP has called for a strike on Tuesday in protest against what it calls the Awami League-led government's inability to govern the country and its dictatorial methods.

It will be the second such opposition-sponsored action in about two weeks.

Business leaders and civil society activists have already urged the BNP to cancel, saying it will severely disrupt normal life and commercial activities.

The strike comes two weeks after BNP party leader Begum Khaleda Zia was evicted from her residence in military-owned house in the capital, Dhaka.

The house was leased to Ms Zia, a year after the assassination of her husband - former president General Zia-ur-Rahman - in a military coup in 1981.

The government said the lease to the house was illegal.

Her supporters argue that she should be allowed  staying in the house and the government's decision to evict her was political.

Analysts warn that if the two main parties do not resolve their differences soon, then the country may witness a series of strikes in the coming weeks.

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta - Pertemuan G-20 di Gyeongju Korea Selatan pekan lalu yang menghasilkan kesepakatan untuk tidak akan melakukan devaluasi mata uang membuat aliran dana asing kembali masuk ke kawasan Asia.
Mata uang regional kembali menguat terhadap dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) dan tidak terkecuali dengna rupiah. Alhasil, rupiah pada transaksi Senin kemarin berhasil menguat 35 poin (0,39 persen) menjadi 8.908 per dolar AS dibandingkan posisi akhri pekan lalu di 8.943.
Analis ekonomi dari PT Samuel Sekuritas Indonesia, Lana Soelistianigsih mengemukakan penguatan yang cukup kencang dan mendekati level 8.900 per dolar AS membuat Bank Indonesia akan menjaga di level ini. Karena, jika tidak mata uang lokal sangat berpotensi untuk menembus dibawah level psikologis 8.900 per dolar AS.
»BI diprediksikan akan masuk kepasar untuk membawa rupiah ke kisaran yang dianggap aman di 8.920 hingga 8.925 per dolar AS,” paparnya.
Pagi ini pukul 9:55 WIB ditransaksikandi level 8.912 per dolar AS, atau melemah 4 poin dari penutupan kemarin di 8.908.
Penguatan rupiah dibawah level 9.000 per dolar AS ini akan menjadi salah satu sumber surplus (Sisa Lebih Pelaksanaan Anggaran) APBN-P 2010, karena realisasi pembayaran bunga utang luar negeri menjadi lebih rendah dari yang dianggarkan. Penguatan rupiah juga mengurangi penerimaan pajak migas dan sumber daya alam dengan pendapatan dolar AS. »Namun, neto keduanya masih mencatat surplus di APBN-P 2010,” kata Lana.
Defisit anggaran APBN-P 2010 diperkirakan mencapai 1,5 persen dari PDB ( Rp 95,1 triliun) dari target 2,1 persen dari PDB (Rp 38,6 triliun). Jadi dengan meningkatnya surplus ini membuat rencana penerbitan obligasi tahun 2010 akan lebih rendah Rp 15,5 triliun dari target sebesar Rp 175 triliun.
Posisi surplus hingga Oktober 2010 yang masih mencatat surplus Rp 40,218 triliun, akan bisa mencapai target revisi target defisit anggaran 1,5 persen di tahun 2010. Kendalam penyerapan belanja modal khususnya diperbaikan infrastruktur yang biasanya digenjot menjelang akhir tahun akan mengalami hambatan. »Faktor musim hujan yang intensitasnya tinggi di atas normal akan menjadi kendala,” imbuhnya.
