Indonesia Market at a glance

A blooming economy fuelled by rising middle-class

Indonesia is the fastest growing economy in the ASEAN region. During the global financial crisis in 2008, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbours and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth in 2009. Its expanding middle-class spurs the country's strong domestic consumption and contributes to the growth of businesses across sectors.

As a country gifted with rich and diversified natural resources, commodities-exports have also been an engine of growth for years. Major exports include coal, palm oil, petroleum oil and gas, mineral fuels. Indonesia counts China, Japan, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea as its main trading partners.
