Indonesia is a rich, ethnically diverse
island state with a very large population. Internal markets for
consumer goods are large
and offer opportunities for many consumer goods firms. Indonesia
has a large and well developed petroleum industry that adds to
government
wealth. Indonesia is just starting to emerge from the crony
capitalism
that has existed for most of the time since independence. Wage
rates
are relatively low and if social stability can be maintained the
opportunities
for profitable investment will be significant.
