WELCOME to the online version of the second annual Business Advantage guide to Indonesia, created to give business leaders an overview of the current potential for investment and trade in one of the world's largest democracies. This new edition replaces the inaugural edition of September 2007.

On the back of major reforms, a stabilised Indonesian economy is embarking on a period of sustained growth. In the process, it is providing a wide range of investment and business opportunities.

In preparing Business Advantage Indonesia 2008/9, we have extensively researched business conditions in the country and conducted many interviews with Indonesian and international business people, and relevant government agencies.

You'll find many of their stories inside this report.

We hope this publication inspires and educates you to the possibilities that Indonesia has to offer. We look forward to receiving your comments info@businessadvantageinternational.com
