JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's budget deficit for January to November was 401.8 trillion rupiah ($25.27 billion) or 1.81% of gross domestic product, its finance minister said on Wednesday.

Sri Mulyani told a press conference the government expects the growth of revenue could be sustained going forward.
