Maximising the potential of Indonesia's transformation
Overview:
Indonesia has raced to the top of most economists’ lists of future global growth generators, backed by positive fundamentals such as an abundance of crucial natural resources, a large and relatively young population with increasing skills and incomes, and a key position within the rapidly advancing ASEAN region. Some economists predict that Indonesia could become the world’s sixth largest economy by 2030, ahead of both Germany and the UK.
Despite short-term external pressures due to the slowdown in China and India, and the unwinding of the US loose monetary policy, Indonesia’s annual GDP growth remains strong at around 6 per cent, and there continues to rich investment potential in a country that has developed on the one hand into a large and important exporter of liquefied natural gas, palm oil and coal, and on the other into Southeast Asia’s biggest and fastest growing consumer market.
The Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) is going to great lengths to smooth bureaucratic processes and remove entry barriers in order to generate the rapid growth in FDI that will help the country meet its economic targets and development potential. A key priority is improving infrastructure while also continuing to enhance standards of governance. What other obstacles need to be overcome for the country’s full economic potential to be realised? What are the benefits of investing at this time of significant development and change? What does the future have in store for this vibrant ASEAN territory?
BKPM will gather around 300 senior decision-makers, including officials from the Indonesian government, local business leaders, and key representatives of the international investment community, for a strategic one-day Summit that will address how foreign manufacturers, financiers and service providers can maximise opportunities in Indonesia.
