Thus, the Indonesian Government will renegotiate its debts in order to reach those targets. “If we can prove that MDGs can not be reached by 2015, some of our debts might be converted. I think we can do it in the next one or two years”, said the State Minister for National Development Planning/ head of The National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), Syahrial Loetan, at Jakarta, Thursday (26/9).

Seven main non-rice commodities, which are consumed by Indonesians, are imported. The last two years have seen a leap in prices for food and other agricultural produce. As a result, there has been a decrease in food security. This has had devastating consequences, such as an increase in the number of cases of malnutrition and an increase in maternal and infant mortality rates.

All the participants, except for myself, came from Latin America. The seminar's goal was to find alternative means of development funding for Latin America. The construction of Banco del Sur (The Bank of the South) is an example of this. This funding organisation offers development assistance with conditionalities that suit developing countries better than those set out by the World Bank and IMF.
