  • Economic & Political Update Indonesia May 2020 - In the Eye of the Storm

    The economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 crisis are becoming increasingly clear and frightening.

  • Rising Unemployment in Indonesia as Coal Miners Cease Production

    In the 2000s many Indonesian companies diversified their business to include coal mining (or shifting their core business to coal mining altogether) due to lucrative opportunities amid the 2000s commodities boom.
