DHL INDONESIA FACT SHEET
OVERVIEW
Indonesia’s modern and dynamic economy is the largest
in Southeast Asia. Though rich in natural resources, it
is also highly diversified: half the country’s GDP comes
from services.
Unlike many other Asian countries’ manufacturing and
export-driven economies, Indonesia’s growth is fuelled largely
by consumption and labour productivity improvements.
The country is also the fourth-largest user of Facebook in
the world, providing a promising platform for e-commerce
activity. With steady population growth and continually
rising employment, Indonesia’s consuming class is predicted
to reach 90 million by 2030 – more than any other country
except China and India. If growth is maintained, Indonesia
could be the world’s seventh-largest economy by 2030.
To achieve this goal, Indonesia is committed to further
improving its infrastructure, removing overregulation and
other barriers to business and furthering inclusion. The
country is also realising its regional and global leadership
potential, especially in sustainability resource management
and climate change negotiations. This is crucial, as Indonesia
holds the third-largest area of tropical forest but is also one
of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases.
Burma
Currently, UK trade with Indonesia is small. Though Britain
is one of Indonesia’s largest investors, the countries have less
than a 1 per cent share of each other’s market. However, this
is being actively addressed: in addition to setting a bilateral
trade target of £4.4 billion for 2015, the countries have
established a joint ‘Vision 2030 Group’ to improve
their business relationship.
