Indonesia Sets Its Sights On 40% Investment from Southeast Asian Countries
Indonesia sets its standards high, aiming for at least 40% foreign direct investment (FDI) from Southeast Asian countries. The Government aims to attract Rp80 billion in FDI.
Since Indonesia accounts for 40% of ASEAN’s total economy, the stipulation is that at least 40% of investment from Southeast Asian countries should come into Indonesia. The country is confident it can achieve this, even with the global economic slowdown.
Strength and Stability Is the Key
Indonesia is confident of achieving its investment from Southeast Asian countries target because of its political stability. The nation has become adept at controlling inflation rates while championing inclusive economic growth in the process.
