      Economy Indonesia

      Economy - overview:

       Indonesia, a vast polyglot nation, faces economic development

       problems stemming from recent acts of terrorism, unequal resource

       distribution among regions, endemic corruption, the lack of reliable

       legal recourse in contract disputes, weaknesses in the banking

       system, and a generally poor climate for foreign investment.

       Indonesia withdrew from its IMF program at the end of 2003, but

       issued a "White Paper" that commits the government to maintaining

       fundamentally sound macroeconomic policies previously established

       under IMF guidelines. Investors, however, continued to face a host

       of on-the-ground microeconomic problems and an inadequate judicial

       system. Keys to future growth remain internal reform, building up

       the confidence of international and domestic investors, and strong

       global economic growth.
