Indonesia Happy Hour, on July 17, with Golden Networking, the Premier Networking Community

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Indonesia’s GDP will increase 6.5% in 2012, the World Bank has said, compared with a global average of 2.5%. Indonesia’s growth has so far weathered the faltering global economy, helping it regain an investment grade rating for its sovereign debt at Fitch and Moody’s. Standard & Poor’s rates Indonesia at BB+, the highest non- investment grade rating, with a positive outlook.

Indonesia offers endless opportunities for business. There are many natural resources like coal, gold and copper to be found and the country has an increasing size, and therefore buying power, of the middle class. It has a robust consumer driven economy which is rare for a country of its economic development level. It is a vibrant democracy with high literacy rates, low wage rates, a  relatively skilled workforce, a quality education system and ethnical diversity; its 240 million population makes a great target for investments.
