Indonesia Economy
Economy - overview: Indonesia, a vast polyglot nation, faces severe
economic problems, stemming from secessionist movements and the low
level of security in the regions, the lack of reliable legal
recourse in contract disputes, corruption, weaknesses in the banking
system, and strained relations with the IMF. Investor confidence
will remain low and few new jobs will be created under these
circumstances. Growth of 4.8% in 2000 is not sustainable, being
attributable to favorable short-term factors, including high world
oil prices, a surge in nonoil exports, and increased domestic demand
for consumer durables.
