Halo dan selamat datang – welcome to the Indonesia category of this blog. This is where I share anything that relates to Indonesia, business issues relating to the Indonesia, the various people of Indonesia or its vibrant culture. Often posts that appear in this category will appear in other categories as well. So if instant noodle business Indofoods launched a new advertising campaign. And that I thought was particularly interesting or noteworthy, that might appear in branding as well as Indonesia.

So far, I haven’t had too much Indonesian related content here, though I recognise that it is a fast growing and important market in Asia. I am also aware of the positive impact that Indonesians have had around the world from the worlds of manufacturing to media and travel.

I don’t tend to comment on local politics because I don’t understand it that well, but I am interested when it intersects with business. An example of this would be legal issues affecting smartphone imports, versus local assembly.

The country has changed from being seen as risky to an emerging investment opportunity. The likes of Jardine Matheson have pivoted from Greater China to the worlds most populous Muslim country and home of the Komodo dragon. Its Dutch colonial heritage mixed with local culture has created a country full of dichotomies.

If there are Indonesian subjects that you think would fit with this blog, feel free to let me know by leaving a comment in the ‘Get in touch’ section of this blog here.
