Jakarta – Indonesia's central bank, Bank Indonesia, said early Saturday that it passed the year date change – Y2K – without any computer glitches.
"We have tested connections with all of our branches all over the country and there wasn't any problem," said Brenda Sutrisno, an official with Bank Indonesia.
Brenda said that all joint venture banks in Jakarta have reported to the central bank they didn't find any problems during the changeover. Reports from local banks and foreign banks are expected later in the day.
Meanwhile, Mines and Energy Minister Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono declared that the state-owned electricity entity passed the year change smoothly.
"PLN passed the critical time [without any problem]," Yudhoyono said. However, he said that PLN is staying alert until it passes another critical date, namely, February 29.
