The earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale and subsequent landslides that devastated Indonesia's West Sumatra province on September 30, 2009, inflicted a loss of an estimated 21.58 trillion rupiah (about 2.2 billion U. S. dollars), an official said.
The greatest loss came from damage to houses accounting for 74 percent of the total losses, Antara news agency on Sunday quoted West Sumatra Deputy Governor Marlis Rahman as saying.
The figure was based on the results of a final verification which put the number of damaged houses at 249,833, he said.
Of the total, 114,797 houses were destroyed and leveled to the ground, while 67,198 houses underwent moderate damage and 67.838 others minor damage, he said.
The province's Padang Pariaman district was hit hardest by the quake with material losses estimated at 8.67 trillion rupiah (about 870 million U.S. dollars), he said.
The social sector was the second hit hardest by the quake and landslides with hundreds of places of worship, school buildings and public
health institutions damaged, the district head said.
The quake killed at least 1,195 people and injured thousands of others.
