The Indonesian Economy

Indonesia is one of the few countries that came through the global economic crisis in 2008-09 with positive economic growth. Despite some recorded positive domestic economic performances Indonesia faces new challenges as its economy keeps growing and the global economy remains uncertain. A new economic development paradigm is needed to overcome old problems (poverty and unemployment inadequate infrastructure corruption a complex regulatory environment and unequal resource distribution among regions) with global market opportunities. This book provides a new perspective on how Indonesian's economic policies should be developed by considering its past and future challenges.
