REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - On a rare occasion, Minister of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Dahlan Iskan promotes a book authored by former governor of Bank Indonesia, Darmin Nasution. He said that the book, 'Central Banks Must be Down to Earth' provided insight into macroeconomics.

"Mr. Nasution's strategy in lowering interest rate is effective and efficient to increase market enthusiasm. Low interest rate makes the investment climate more conducive. The book is very good," Iskan said on Tuesday then added that he had read the book.

The book tells about Nasution's experience, problems and intrigues while serving as Governor of BI. In addition, this book also tells the story behind some major economic events in Indonesia. 

Nasution devoted himself to Bank Indonesia for three years and ten months. His tenure ended on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Nasution then replaced by Agus Martowardojo who previously served as minister of finance.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ
Dan mereka (Ahli Kitab) tidak berpecah belah kecuali setelah datang kepada mereka ilmu (kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh para nabi) karena kedengkian antara sesama mereka. Jika tidaklah karena suatu ketetapan yang telah ada dahulunya dari Tuhanmu (untuk menangguhkan azab) sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, pastilah hukuman bagi mereka telah dilaksanakan. Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mewarisi Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) setelah mereka (pada zaman Muhammad), benar-benar berada dalam keraguan yang mendalam tentang Kitab (Al-Qur'an) itu.

(QS. Asy-Syura ayat 14)
