Indonesia is a Paradise for Invesment

When the global crisis, which was occurred in the last 2010, hit all over the world, especially for Europe and USA. Mostly country moved their investments to the country which was quite stable in terms of political, social, and financial issues. Indonesia is the one of the country which was quite stable in terms of political, social, and financial issues.

There are many reason why Indonesia can survive from the global crisis. First of all, Indonesia, which is the third-largest population in the world, has many population. Population is the one of important thing to the country which can survive from the global crisis, such as China and India. But, it has to be followed by buying power, because one of the global crisis causes is that there is no buying power significantly  from civilization. Like USA, although it is the most population in the world, there is no buying power significantly from civilization caused many unemployment. Second, Indonesia is strong  for domestic market. So the global crisis doesn’t effect to Indonesia directly.

Indonesia economic, social and political which stable has made many country invest to Indonesia such as South Korea. South Korea, which is now the third-largest foreign investor in this country after Singapore and Japan, has invested in Indonesia soared to US $1 billion, almost three times as much as the year before during the first six months of 2012.

First South Korean company to arrive in Indonesia was Kodeco, which is still the largest group in South Korean, in 1965. A timber business then, it exported wood to South Korea. Kodeco focuses on oil now. There are about 1,500 companies doing business today in Indonesia. Although it is only number three in terms of investment, it might bring less money than the others, but it creates more jobs. This is what Indonesia needs and it is quite important.

Indonesia has to stay keeping stability of economic, political and social condition. In order that it can more investments from the other countries. Indonesia still needs more investment to growth Indonesia’s economic. Even, in the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MP3EI) explained that investment is the main focuss on Indonesia’s ecomonic development. If Indonesia stays stable and sustainable, it will be a paradise for investment.
