Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Bank Indonesia predicted that business is brisker in the first quarter of 2017 than in the last quarter of 2016.

Meanwhile, the SBT of mining business  improved to -1.08 percent from -1.82 percent .

"Amid the phase of contraction, more jobs are open in the mining quarry sector, manufacturing industry, agricultural, plantation, forestry and fishery sector," the survey showed.
