 Indonesia Investment Business Forum

a business facilitation forum where the International Investors/Business Practitioners will have a series of business meetings and events with Regional (and National) Decision Makers, as well as Business Entities.

 

 

Business in Asia - Why Indonesia?
Indonesia is a rich, ethnically diverse island state with a very large population.
Internal markets for consumer goods are large and offer opportunities for many consumer goods firms. Indonesia has a large and well developed petroleum industry that adds to government wealth. Indonesia is just starting to emerge from the crony capitalism that has existed for most of the time since independence.
Wage rates are relatively low and if social stability can be maintained the
opportunities for profitable investment will be significant.

 

Business & Investment Opportunities in Indonesia

In more recent decades Indonesia has seen major investments by
large multinationals, small businessmen and individuals.
This page will highlight selected business opportunities in Indonesia
open to both expatriates and Indonesian nationals.

Indonesia’s economy on track, says World Bank
Nani Alfrida , The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Fri, 01/29/2010

Indonesia’s economy has returned back on track following a period of lower growth last year due to the global economic crisis.

World Bank economist Timothy Bulman said in Jakarta on Thursday that the country’s economy is almost ready to return to the boom conditions prior to the 1998 financial crisis, when GDP growth often reached between 7 percent and 8 percent.
“The real economy has returned back to solid growth,” he told a seminar of the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF).

The World Bank estimates the growth rate would increase to 5.6 percent this year, and to 6 percent in 2011 up from 4.5 percent in 2009. The bank is also upbeat that the country’s anticipated export volume is expected to return to pre-crisis levels during 2010, as the world economy gradually recovers and commodity prices rise.
Timothy suggests Indonesia creates a more conducive investment climate to attract both foreign and local investors, so that investment activities could contribute more significantly to the country’s economic growth.
“Indonesia has to be more aggressive in facilitating domestic and foreign investment.” Timothy said.

According Timothy, besides investments, Indonesia is ready for and needs breakthroughs like easing transport and logistic bottlenecks and connecting Indonesia’s domestic market and the regions.
Speaking at the same event, Ikhsan Modjo, the executive director of INDEF, agreed that the Indonesian economy had almost fully recovered from the crisis.

But, he warned much work still had to be done by the government to maintain upward trends, because inappropriate policies would undermine progress.
Ikhsan mentioned that wrong handling of negative impacts from the much criticized ASEAN China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) could drag down GDP growth.
“The government had to lower its entry barriers and operating costs. It has also to improve trade facilitation as well as to control the proliferation of non tariff barriers,” he said.
The government expects the GDP growth to increase to 5.5 percent this year.

However in order to achieve the target of bringing economic growth up to above 6 percent per year within the next five years, the government had to take more positive steps.
The government has finished drafting the second National Middle Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2010-2014. The blue print will be officially launched on Feb. 3.

RGE's Q2 2010 Indonesia Outlook

Indonesia remained one of the bright spots in Southeast Asia during the economic downturn, growing 4.5% in 2009. Though investment is recovering sluggishly, strong fiscal stimulus, capital inflows and consumer spending are buoying growth, as are commodity prices and exports to China...Capital inflows and the energy sector will largely take cues from global trends but nonetheless will support investment activity, asset markets and exports. These factors should help Indonesia attain its potential growth rate of 7.0% in the next few years; however, lagging reform efforts and the continued presence of corruption, political friction and infrastructure bottlenecks could hurt investor optimism.

Indonesia finance minister resigns for World Bank post

BBC: 5 May 2010

Indonesia's Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati has been appointed managing director of the World Bank.
Accepting her resignation, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono praised her success in reforming the economy and said he would "truly miss" her.

Ms Indrawati has largely been credited with steering South East Asia's largest economy through the financial crisis.

Investor concern
Ms Indrawati will be second-in-command at one of the most influential financial institutions in the world once she takes up her new post on 1 June.
She will be in charge of three main regions - Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa and East Africa and the Pacific.
