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.
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.
Crude oil is a fossil fuel that is derived from the remains of plants and organisms that lived on Earth millions of years ago (coal and natural gas also formed under similar conditions). Crude oil is found in huge underground reservoirs – either below land or the ocean floor – where ancient seas once existed.
Investing in cryptocurrencies is no longer uncommon in Indonesia. There are many brokers assisting in the buying and selling of traditional assets such as shares and mutual funds who now also offer services related to crypto.
