Aditya Suharmoko, Jakarta – The political uncertainty following Golkar Party's decision to abandon a nearly five years coalition with the Democratic Party will not affect the government's economic policies, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani says.

"This government will continue the programs, which will not be affected (by the political conditions) as all minister have mechanisms to run the programs," Mulyani told reporters Friday.

Mulyani was responding to businessmen' worries that the government might not focus in implementing economic programs due to the current political conditions.

Golkar chairman Jusuf Kalla, incumbent vice president, decided to run for presidency in the coming election after President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, also founder of Democratic Party, demanded Golkar to propose more candidates besides Kalla as his potential running mate.

Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and the Indonesian Employers' Association (Apindo) said Thursday businesses were extremely cautious about the final outcome of the breakup.

Both Kadin and Apindo called on Yudhoyono and Kalla not to get distracted from directing their ministers in running the economy.

"For economic programs in general we will see the conditions and dynamics from the economic side. I think all this time there hasn't been any effect (from politics) to the focus and jobs of minister," Mulyani added.
