Q&A

Since the overall population of Indonesia is 252 million, it makes the country a good target for its own domestic consumer market. This means that apart from just being an export manufacturing base, the country can also be a consumer base in its own right. In the beginning of 2014, a law banning the export of unprocessed minerals made the Indonesian exports value decrease by 3.6 percent. Also, since the land price in industrial estate relatively high, it did not attract foreign investors enough. However, numerous Double Tax Treaties assist foreign investors and companies to reduce their overall tax burden in the country.
