ABOUT INDONESIA
Tyger, tyger burning bright
BHINNEKA
TUNGGAL
IKA
INDONESIAN
COUNTRY
MOTTO COMPRISING more than 17,000 islands sprawled across almost 2 m square kilometres, home to 250
million people speaking over 700 languages and practicing virtually every religion on earth, Indonesia is
one of the most diverse country in the world. The motto of this country, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika
indicates that beside all the differences there is a true sense of unity among its people.
The World Bank considers Indonesia a lower-middle-income economy, but economically as in
everything else, this masks huge differences. More than half the countrys populace lives on the
relatively wealthy and densely populated island of Java, with more than one-tenth in greater Jakarta. In
resource-rich Riau, East Kalimantan and West Papua regional GDP per person tops $6,000 a year,
while the average resident of some of Indonesias farther-flung southern and eastern islands
particularly those without natural resourcesearns less than $2,000.
INDONESIAN ECONOMY
A COUNTRY WITH FULL POTENTIAL
A SLEEPING TIGER
Indonesia has one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia and is one of the emerging market
economies of the world. The country is also a member of G-20 major economies and classified as a
newly industrialised country. It is the sixteenth largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and is the
eighth largest in terms of GDP (PPP). Indonesia still depends on domestic market, and government
budget spending and its ownership of state-owned enterprises (the central government owns 141
enterprises) and the administration of prices of a range of basic goods including, rice, and electricity
plays a significant role in Indonesia market economy, but since the 1990s, 80 percent of the economy
has been controlled by private Indonesians and foreign companies.
