What
economic factors? Are these two related?
There was Authoritarianism meaning that all of Indonesia was ruled by a dictator
and he repressed the opinions of people who didn’t agree with his ideas. He also
used his control of the political system to make sure that only the businesses of his
family and supporters flourish. Yes they are related, this is because when you have
control of the political system of a country you have the power to affect the
economic system.

the implications for the country? What is required to reverse this trend?

neighbors, lack of growth in labor and poor productivity public infrastructure. The
implications are that the country economy went through a massive slump. And this

required to reduce these risks?

the way that this corruption can be solved is by backing the anticorruption drive by
the people of Indonesia.
