Indonesia's economy grew 6.3 percent from a year earlier in the first quarter, withstanding headwinds from Europe and the U.S. as industries such as agriculture and forestry expanded. The Central Statistics Agency said Monday that growth was driven by increases in the agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing sectors. The economy grew 1.4 percent compared with the last quarter of 2011, according to a report of the Associated Press. Indonesia's economy grew 6.5 percent in 2011, which was its fastest growth since the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis.
