Investing in Indonesia |
|
||||||||||||||||
A key member of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) and with a large potential domestic market, resource-rich Indonesia's attempts to attract foreign investment are often hampered by a relatively poor international reputation. The country was ranked at a lowly 100th least corrupt country in the world, according to the 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International, a global measure of corruption amongst public officials and politicians. In addition, it was ranked at a low 121st in the 2011 Doing Business Survey by the World Bank. |

In short, investing in Indonesia requires expert inside knowledge of the way business is done in the country.
