The global pandemic of Covid-19 has caused a decline in the global economy, including Indonesia; and an economic recovery after the pandemic is not an easy task. Despite many challenges, the Indonesian government through the Indonesia Ministry of Investment and stakeholders are consistently monitoring investments and constructing strategic investment map opportunities for this country.

Based on the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia expects a demographic bonus in 2030-2040. Demographic bonus is defined as the situation where the productive age population outweighs the non productive age population. BPS predicts that the productive age (15-64 years old) population will make up 64% of total population. - Domestic market

Indonesia has significant influence in its role in global affairs, considering that they are the only member of G20 from Southeast Asia.
Reformation of Investment Rules and Regulation
Investors who wish to keep having business in Indonesia or plan to invest in Indonesia will enjoy the improvement within their investment climate committed by the government. The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has taken strategic steps to keep the flow of investment stable during the pandemic and it will continue to do so in the future. These strategic steps involves:
- Help and facilitate the existing companies to overcome any obstacle they deal with while having business in Indonesia
- Facilitate stalled investment
- Provide incentives to companies that plans on expansion
The government provides incentives to improve human resource quality in Indonesia. The regulation covers three different areas: the labor-intensive industries, industries involved in vocational education programs, and industries that hold research and development activities to produce innovation.
Those are the reasons to keep doing business in Indonesia and as to why investors may consider investing in Indonesia. There are different types of industries to invest in this country, thus PT Suryacipta Swadaya provides the industrial areas Suryacipta City of Industry and Subang Smartpolitan to fulfill the investor needs to doing business in Indonesia.
