Having not yet recovered from the impact of the two Bali bombings, the export demand for pottery from one village in Kabupaten Lombok Barat that is a production center for pottery has experienced a sharp fall since the onset of the 2008/09 global financial crisis. In the absence of other skills, women making the pottery have been forced to cease working or return to making cheaper pottery for household needs.

The negative impact of the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) has been felt by the downstream textile product and textile (TPT) industries in Desa Solokanjeruk, Kabupaten Bandung, especially the export-oriented garment industry. This industry has experienced a downturn in orders and difficulty in obtaining new orders, but has not reduced the number of workers.

The community group in Desa Arjowilangun most affected by the impact of the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) is the families of male migrant workers (TKI) employed in the export-oriented manufacturing industry in South Korea.

Information collected from various local and national media sources shows that the 2008/09 global financial crisis has had an impact on several agricultural subsectors in Indonesia, especially on export commodities.

The findings of news monitoring in a number of mass media up to the beginning of August 2009 reveal that the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) has had an impact on manufacturing in Indonesia, particularly on those manufacturing industries that are export-oriented and use imported raw materials.
