Weaknesses of Indonesian Economic

Chamber of Indonesia Commerce and Industry (Kadin) declared Indonesian economy that is actually very promising for both domestic and foreign investors. However, there are still weaknesses seeing by Kadin of the economy that need to be addressed. Vice Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, Novian Anindya Bakrie said: "promising Indonesian economy is evidenced by incoming investment, private consumption, and vibrant business world."

“But there are still some weaknesses that Indonesia’s economic structure needs to be addressed now,” said Anindya at Menara Kadin Jakarta, Wednesday (06/03/2013).
Anindya see Indonesia’s economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.
On the other hand, Anindya also highlights subsidy of oil (BBM) to the people who actually are not even on target. Current budget fuel subsidy enjoyed by the rich instead.
“As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the weakening of the rupiah,” he added.
Again, the actual budget for infrastructure even neglected. He rated in the last few months that there is no improvement of government policy so that a problem cannot be resolved. Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will pull out of Indonesia.


My Comment:

I think the weakness of the Indonesian economy not only in the trade deficit, but at there is also the weakness of his moral values. Indonesia is a country rich in natural results. However, in the absence of honesty in particular on the responsible parties in Indonesian natural resources, so the inclusion of Indonesia is very little.
Unemployment is still a lot in Indonesia. The government did not immediately take to this policy, as mentioned in the article above. Too many promises but no action. Actually, Indonesia is one country that has outstanding natural beauty, abundant natural resources, ethnic and culturally diverse and unique. These things are a plus for Indonesia. But our government can not utilize it properly. By taking care of its natural course, Indonesia will get the revenue that can not be said to be small. With the tourist areas, it would be very easy to bring tourists, both domestic and foreign.
So you need to do to overcome the weaknesses of the Indonesian economy is the correct morals, honesty, and take advantage of what Indonesia had the best possible.
