Indonesia into the G20. Since 2012 Indonesia has improved its position to
be the 16th biggest economic capacity.
• Indonesia’s economic growth reached 6.3% in 2012 and is expected to
have 6.3% this year, and will be 6.5% in 2014. However the growth for this
year has been corrected to be 5.9%, as a more realistic target, due to the
global economic uncertainty.

Indonesia’s debt to GDP ratio has steadily declined from 83% in 2001 to
less than 25% by the end of 2011, the lowest among ASEAN countries.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Indonesia are middle class accompanied by the uptrend of
their income. They have strengthened the purchasing power
of domestic consumption, which in turn positively contributes
to the economic growth.
• The foreign investment with a total value of $18 billion (2012)
has driven the economic activities.
• There are various immediate projects, such as the world’s
longest suspension bridges of the Sunda Strait with the length
of 27 kms (construction is expected to start in 2014) building
20,000 kms of roads, 15,000 MW of power plants, seaports,
airports, railways, coal power plants, spring water projects, oil
