Weaknesses of Indonesian Economic

Chamber of Indonesia Commerce and Industry (Kadin) declared Indonesian


economy that is actually very promising for both domestic and foreign investors.
However, there are still weaknesses seeing by Kadin of the economy that need to
be addressed. Vice Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, Novian Anindya Bakrie said,
promising Indonesian economy is evidenced by incoming investment, private
consumption, and vibrant business world.

But there are still some weaknesses that Indonesias economic structure needs to
be addressed now, said Anindya at Menara Kadin Jakarta, Wednesday
(06/03/2013).

Anindya see Indonesias economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to
larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be
deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.

On the other hand, Anindya also highlights subsidy of oil (BBM) to the people who
actually are not even on target. Current budget fuel subsidy enjoyed by the rich
instead.
As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the
weakening of the rupiah, he added.

Again, the actual budget for infrastructure even neglected. He rated in the last
few months that there is no improvement of government policy so that a problem
cannot be resolved. Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it
will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will
pull out of Indonesia.
