Meanwhile, Total Bangun Persada's net profit in 2016 is forecast to grow nearly 50 percent to IDR 243.5 billion (approx. USD $18.3 million) supported by an improving domestic economy and the inflow of fresh funds into Indonesia due to the tax amnesty program. It is expected that part of Indonesia's tax dodgers will repatriate their offshore assets into the country and part of these inflows will find their way into property development and property demand. CIMB Securities claims that several of Indonesia's property developers have already started to prepare projects in anticipation of an inflow of funds.

This year the corporate earnings of Total Bangun Persada have already shown a recovery. Up to April 2016, the company won IDR 600 billion (approx.
