The simultaneous equation model regression results indicate that government foreign debt, FS which derives from the reduced-form equation and primary balance has a significant impact on the growth of economy in Indonesia positively. Government foreign debt lag and interest rate of Central Bank of Indonesia have a negative impact and it is significant toward the FS of Indonesia.
