World Bank president Barber Conablepledged the Bank's support to help Indonesia adjust to lower
world oil prices, but said further deregulation of its
protected economy was needed.

he said he expected Jakarta to do more to liberalise the
economy and deregulate trade policy.

cut the value of its crude exports in half, is the Third
World's sixth largest debtor. It has received 10.7 billion dlrs
