Country Strong Points

Foreign Trade Overview

The agricultural sector contributes to nearly 14% of the country's GDP and
employs nearly 40% of the active population.
Indonesia is one of the largest rubber producers in the world.
The major crops are rice, sugar cane, coffee, tea, tobacco, palm oil, coconuts and
spices.
Indonesia is the only Asian country to be an member of the OPEC to which it
assures 5% of its production.
Indonesia is still a net importer of oil. The country has great exploitable timber
lands and mainly exports timber.
Industries contribute to around half of the GDP.
The industrial sector includes manufacturing of textiles, cement, chemical fertilizers, electronic
products, rubber tires, clothing and shoes (most of these are for the American market).
Wood processing is also a major activity.
The tertiary sector (financial institutions, transportation and communications) contributes to around
40% of the GDP.
The banking sector is well-developed.
The Islamic bank Syariah has expanded rapidly during these recent years.
Tourism is a major source of revenue, however, the sector has suffered from terrorist threats and
natural catastrophes.
Due to the unfavorable international economic situation, the Indonesian growth rate has
evidently slowed down in 2009 (4.5%).
Indonesia has shown more resistance than its neighboring countries due to the low
amount of exports on its economy and the importance of private consumption since the
country has a significant domestic market.
The country adopted a stimulus plan which lowered taxes, increased subsidies and
commitments for supplemental expenditures, which have allowed to soften the effects of
the crisis.
The growth, estimated at 6% of the GDP, has accelerated in 2010, under the effects of
the revival of investments and the continuous growth of private consumption.
Despite the good results from the main economic indicators, structural reforms are required.
A large program of development of infrastructures has been issued.
The country suffers from sub-investment, the authorities are strongly promoting public-
private partnerships.
The government has also re-confirmed its priority to the fight against corruption.
The protection of the environment is a major challenge in Indonesia.
The unemployment level remains high and many workers are in a precarious condition.
A large part of the population lives below the poverty line and the gap between the very rich
and the very poor does not diminish.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Indonesia, which had collapsed due to the Asian economic crisis in
1997-1998, was evidently increasing since 2007, the country had become attractive to investors again
thanks to the progress of the business regulation framework.
The flows of FDI have, nevertheless, suffered from the global recession in 2009 and even if they have
started to increase again in 2010, they still remain insufficient considering the size and the potential of the
country's economy.
The reinforcement of political and economic stability has suppressed certain investment risks and has
improved the market tone.
Some restraints still persist, such as the high cost of credit, the poor investment climate, the
excessive weight and unpredictability of regulations, the poor condition of the infrastructures,
the control of terrorist risk and the high level of corruption.
Incentives to investment are accessible to all investors, national and foreign.
Indonesian reductions of duties on imports and equipment goods and additional incentives for export
investors and investments made in certain regions.
In 2006, the government announced a program for the improvement of the investment climate, which
aims to submit to Parliament a bill on investment, the drawing up of a new negative list applicable on
investments, the drastic reduction of the time required for the creation of a company, the acceleration of
the re-examination process of local regulations likely to harm the enterprising spirit, as well as the
rationalization of customs procedures and the improvement of customs regulations.
A privatization program mainly concerning key sectors such as transport and finance and
which was initiated in 1998, is regularly updated.
Indonesia has almost 230 million inhabitants, which represents an enormous market.
Indonesia has abundant natural resources (timber, fish, oil, natural gas, metals) and enormous biodiversity.
Thanks to the State withdrawal, the market is opening up to competition in several sectors (energy,
telephone, etc.).
The SME grouping allows for great capacity for adaptation. Italy also has a qualified work force (technical
knowledge and high quality production).
Entrepreneurs are creative and innovative.
The main hindrance to investment lies in the high cost of illegal deductions, which can be as much
as 60%. For the procedures of starting a company
The number of formalities to carry out, time limits for starting up, registration rules and the
threshold of the initial capital
A World Bank study has shown that Indonesia is less efficient than other Asian countries.
Legal unpredictability is often denounced and several levels of justice are said to be ineffective and
corrupted.
The tax and customs authorities are still viewed, in the business circles, as generally being
corrupted and arbitrary.
Indonesia is a member of the WTO and ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian nations).
Indonesia is open to foreign trade, which represented more than 40% of the GDP in 2009.
The trade balance of the country is structurally positive.
The balance was degraded under the effect of the global recession and the fall of the price
in raw materials; but, it still remained on a surplus due to a small contraction of exports in
relation to imports.
The revival of exports as well as imports in 2010 did not change this positive trend.
The three main export partners of Indonesia are Japan, the United States and Southeast
Asia.
The commodities that are mainly exported are mineral fuels and hydrocarbons, electrical
equipment, animal and vegetable fats & oils, nuclear reactors & boilers, and rubber. Its main
export partners are Southeast Asia, Japan and China.
The commodities that are mainly imported are mineral fuels & oils, nuclear reactors &
boilers, iron & steel, electric & electronic equipment, and organic chemicals.

National Single Window for Investment
INVESTMENT GUIDE | ONE-STOP-SHOP
BKPM is implementing a one-stop-shop system (PTSP), to cut bureaucratic red tape and
allow investors to process business licenses faster. Its goal is to streamline and
consolidate the number of steps and places an investor must go for business permit
issuances.

National Single Window for Investment (NSWi)
In order to facilitate PTSP even further, the National Single Window for Investment
(NSWi) was created. NSWi is an electronic platform for investments that enables
investors to apply for license and non-license services online. The ability to fully
automate the investment license process would significantly enhance the efficiency of
licensing services. The system was first launched in January 2010 in the Free Trade Zone
and Free Port of Batam.

Politics

presidential representative democratic republic
-the President of Indonesia is both head of state and head of
government, and of a multi-party system.
-Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two
People's Representative Councils. The Judiciary is independent of the
executive and the legislature.

Economy
Indonesia has a market-based economy in which the government
plays a significant role. It owns more than 164 state-owned enterprises
and administers prices on several basic goods, including fuel, rice, and
electricity. In the aftermath of the financial and economic crisis that
began in mid-1997, the government took custody of a significant portion
of private sector assets through acquisition of nonperforming bank
loans and corporate assets through the debt restructuring process.
the presence of US banks, manufacturers, and service providers
expanded, especially after the industrial and financial sector reforms of
the 1980s.
The economic crisis made continued private financing imperative but
problematic. New foreign investment approvals fell by almost two-thirds
between 1997 and 1999.
Foreign relations

During the regime of president Suharto, Indonesia built
strong relations with the United States and had difficult
relations with the People's Republic of China owing to
Indonesia's anti-communist policies and domestic tensions with the

South East Asian Nations. Since the 1980s, Indonesia has
worked to develop close political and economic ties
between South East Asian nations, and is also influential in
the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
