MACROECONOMICS- JAKARTA. Indonesian officials will seek to address concerns among investors and other key economic players about an economic downturn in Southeast Asia's biggest economy following a stock market selloff and currency slump, an official said on Thursday.

President Prabowo Subianto will meet with investors and others following the long Eid-al-Fitr holiday, which begins on Friday, aiming to correct misperceptions about the government's policies, said Raden Pardede, a special aide to Indonesia's senior economic minister Airlangga Hartarto.
