| Summary: | This Indonesia Economic Quarterly (IEQ)
report discusses about the private investment which is
essential for the economic growth of Indonesia. Indonesia
needs to adjust to a global economy marked by slower growth,
low commodity prices, and weaker trade and capital flows. In
the short term, fiscal stimulus will help, but higher
private investment is required for a firm recovery. Part C.1
of this edition further explores the issue of logistics
sector reform. As Indonesia’s economy expanded rapidly since
2000, its freight logistics system has struggled to keep up.
Indonesia’s transition to a more sustainable energy path can
be supported by aligning pricing, regulations, and
investment policies. The ultimate objective of the reform
agenda is to reverse the recent trend of slower poverty
reduction and rising inequality. Indonesians think reducing
inequality is an urgent government priority. In addition to
social protection programs and eradicating corruption,
policies that create better work opportunities topped the
list of policies respondents identified as important to
address inequality. |
