The Business Columns section of Indonesia Investments provides in-depth columns that exhibit an analysis regarding subjects that are both important for understanding the Indonesian business climate and have high news value in the current state of Indonesia's economy. As a whole these columns should provide the reader a thorough and detailed picture of multiple Indonesian business sectors and be a source of ideas or inspiration to invest - or not to invest - in specific sectors of the Indonesian economy.
Investing and trading have gone from the relatively quiet and secretive activities of those with the wealth to do it to something that anybody can do with a bit of their savings. Whether they can do it successfully is another question altogether.
Not everywhere in Indonesia can you enjoy Internet access. Moreover, in most parts of the country the quality of Internet connectivity is relatively low. Considering that in today’s world Internet access is key to developing any knowledge-based economy (which subsequently triggers social and economic development), it is important that high-quality Internet connectivity is further expanded and improved in Indonesia.
Asia has a reputation for pushing the boundaries. Some parts of the world see countries like Japan as “living in the future” with the kind of tech that they incorporate into daily life. Manufacturing is a huge industry but this is just one example, and there are loads of others – don’t forget about things like service industries.
As is widely known, corruption is a widespread problem in Indonesia. Often we read about new corruption cases being unveiled that (typically) involve Indonesian state officials joining hands with the private sector in a (supposedly) win-win deal related to public procurement.
