Indonesia has become a place where labour-intensive industries such as textiles and footwear are transferred

In terms of foreign direct investment, although China and the United States are still major destinations, Eastern Europe, Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia are gradually emerging.

The latest information from the Asian Textile Union shows that in recent years, as the political situation has stabilized and the middle class continues to increase, Indonesia’s economic fundamentals have developed well and the scale of foreign companies’ investment in Indonesia has gradually expanded.

Countries have begun to pay attention to Indonesia's economic situation due to the fact that Indonesia has a population of 23 million and the market has great potential. Even in the worst year of financial tsunami in 2008, countries faced economic recession and Indonesia's economic growth rate still reached 4.5%. Moreover, Indonesia has become one of the major production bases. In recent years, due to rising wages in the coastal areas of China and Vietnam and the gradual reduction of the labor force, labor-intensive industries such as textiles and footwear have gradually shifted to production in Indonesia and other places.

The lack of infrastructure in Indonesia is one of the bottlenecks in economic development. The Indonesian government plans to promote the development of infrastructure such as railways, roads, electricity and energy, and strengthen the land acquisition system through the power of private companies.
