As Indonesia recovers from its severe financial crisis, new opportunities for Australian trade and investment are emerging. To attract foreign investors to government sales of banking and corporate assets the Indonesian Government has significantly reduced barriers to foreign investment. Dramatically lower trade barriers in most sectors, but especially in agricultural product and automotive markets, will assist growth in the traditionally strong commercial relationship between Australia and Indonesia.

This balanced report helps Australian business face the commercial challenge in Indonesia. It analyses economic reform progress including bank and corporate sector restructuring, highlights on-going reform agendas and risks, assesses recent and projected economic performance, explores the business environment and identifies key opportunities for Australian investors and exporters.
