Indonesia offers many opportunities to foreign investors.
The Indonesian government has recognized the significant role foreign investors
can play in the growth and development of the business sector and the national
economy. Continuing deregulation and reduction in bureaucracy is creating a
wider range of investment activities for foreign investors. In addition,
Indonesia’s rich natural resources, large human resource pool and strategic
geographical position offer further investment incentives.
Recent legal initiatives that allow for more streamlined
investment procedures are evidence of Indonesian policy objectives to address
some investor concerns. Further progressive measures taken to attract foreign
investment include tax concessions, regional incentives, industry incentives
and free trade areas.
