Chief of the representative office Puji Atmoko said the economy of the province is expected to grow 5.5-5.9 percent in the July-September period as against a growth rate of 5.3 percent in the previous quarter.

Currently the regional administration starts implementation of 33 projects valued at Rp165.2 billion financed with provincial budget fund.

He said in whole of the year, the economy of West Sumatra is predicted to expand by 5.3-5.7 percent down from last year's growth of 5.58 percent. --Antara.
