The entrance of investments on BRICS is now in hard conditions. Brazil is dealing with
something more than a recession, in fact it is more like a depression and its leadership
transition is complicating thing. Russia is not much better in growth terms, true, it is dealing
with the fallout of low oil prices, but that dependence underlines its failure to diversify its
economy meaningfully. South Africa is swooning along with commodity prices, infrastructure
worries and leadership troubles. China is still growing but it seems to be at an ever decelerating
rate. Only India is bucking the trend, all told it is almost a sea change from circumstances just
two years ago. Indonesia is now in different condition from the BRICS. What does stand out is
that Indonesia's economy wide growth is actually accelerating again. Unlike in 2009-2014 where
the steady deceleration happened. What is more, this nascent growth is being fed by all sectors
of the economy private consumption, exports and government spending are all on the upswing
and investment spending, although fluctuative, it is showing signs of life.

The World Economic Forum assesses its top strength as market size. At the same time, one of
its lowest rankings is for labor market efficiency. China sees this and counts Indonesia as one of
its top target destinations for outward Investments in manufacturing. Indonesia also scores well
for its macroeconomic environment , high savings rate, low national debt, health, and primary
education.

But in other hand, navigating government bureaucracy is often a headache and is the number
two concern for businesses. On top of the list is corruption. The score for the country's
institutions is low. To round out the list, Indonesia also gets low marks for technological
readiness, not only adding to the challenge of doing business there, but also identifying a key
potential opportunity. Canada has steadily made inroads into Indonesia in recent years. Exports
are dominated by 3 categories, wheat, nonmetallic minerals and pulp. However these 3 are
gradually losing ground to a rapidly growing group of up-and-comers, aerospace, machining
equipment and processed foods. To underscore this, EDC opened a regional representation in
Jakarta, hoping to facilitate much more Canadian business in the future.
