Currently, the Indonesian government focuses on investment, both public and private, to boost Indonesia's economic expansion. Particularly investment in the nation's infrastructure and manufacturing industry are welcomed in order to improve connectivity across the archipelago (hence reducing logistics costs and enhance the quality of the investment climate as well as the competitiveness of domestic businesses) and to lessen Indonesia's traditional dependence on (raw) commodity exports.

Therefore, the Indonesian government has been eager to improve the investment climate - for example by cutting red tape, deregulation and by offering tax incentives in specific sectors to investors who meet specific criteria - in an effort to attract private investment.

Although the Indonesian government under the leadership of Joko Widodo has significantly raised its budget for public investment (partly made possible by reducing public spending on energy subsidies) and increasingly encourages regional governments to invest more in physical infrastructure, it does not have enough financial means to fund all required projects. Therefore, private investors are envisaged to finance the lion's share of investment needs in the years to come.

We regard Indonesia a "high risk, high gain" market. Please visit our Business section to learn more about Indonesia's investment climate, including the risks involved when investing in Indonesia.
