Indonesia overview

Indonesia is a large and geographically diverse country that has abundant resources such as nickel, gold, coffee and other forest and marine resources. As part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) free trade zone, Indonesia’s strategic geographic position allows easy onward access to other Southeast Asian countries plus China, Japan and Australia for UK companies looking to expand in the region.

The UK is the seventh biggest investor in Indonesia, after Singapore, Japan, US, South Korea, Netherlands, and British Virgin Islands. The UK’s main exports to Indonesia are machinery and transport equipment, chemical and related products, manufactured goods and crude materials. Major British investors include BP, Jardine Matheson, Unilever, Shell, Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, Premier Oil, BAT, Prudential, Rolls Royce, GlaxoSmithKline and Astra Zeneca.

International surveys show that Indonesians are trusting consumers, highly receptive to advertising and keen to try new things. Indonesia has over 100 million internet users. It is the world’s third-largest Facebook market and fifth-largest Twitter market. Demand from the new middle class is increasing for modern retail and consumer goods, healthcare, education and professional qualifications, information and communications technology (ICT), transport, construction, and manufacturing.

Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous country and the largest in South East Asia. Extending over 18,307 islands with more than 742 different languages, Indonesia is currently th the world's 16 largest economy. This Doing Business in Indonesia Guide will help prepare UK businesses who are looking to trade with this important market. With a population of 253 million, Indonesia can be a highly attractive export market for UK businesses. The country's burgeoning middle class, which is larger than the population of Malaysia or Australia, are hungry for international brands and opportunities exist across the consumer and retail sectors. Other areas where British companies might tap into Indonesia's rapid growth are the creative industries, engineering, education, renewable energy, finance, infrastructure and transport. Indonesia is also an important gateway to other emerging Asian Markets and is a member of ASEAN which means that British companies producing and shipping goods within the region can also benefit from intra-ASEAN tariff reductions. Indonesia is not without its challenges however, the infrastructure has not been developed or maintained to keep pace with the booming consumer-led economy and whilst deregulation has successfully reduced some barriers, non-tariff barriers remain widespread and the bureaucracy can still be cumbersome. Although significant anti-corruption measures have been undertaken by the Indonesian Government, corruption remains a concern for many businesses and you would be well-served to ensure that you have robust due diligence processes in place before you attempt to enter the market. There are several ways to operate a business in Indonesia including setting up a joint venture company, establishing a representative office and appointing an agent or distributor. One of the most important issues when doing business in Indonesia is building a good relationship with your partners. This process is time consuming and requires that you present yourself more as a person rather than a businessman or businesswoman. For Indonesians it is very important to have a good and solid friendship with somebody before doing business, so expect to have to answer a lot of private questions about your life, family, network, hobbies, and so on whilst you get to know your Indonesian hosts. Whatever approach you decide to take in your business dealings in Indonesia, the Institute of Export & International Trade is always ready to help guide you through the ins and outs of doing business in this increasingly important country. Why not contact us and find out how you can join? Good Luck! Lesley Batchelor OBE, FIEx (Grad) Director General – Institute of Export & International Trade www.export.org.uk www.

Foreword from Moazzam Malik, British Ambassador to Indonesia, ASEAN and Timor-Leste

The Indonesian market is huge. This is a country of 250 million people, with a fast growing middle class of 45 million; larger than the population of Australia, or Malaysia and Singapore combined; and is expected to grow to 135 million by 2030.

Indonesia is a country that has many things going for it: demography, natural resources and a geo-strategic location that will drive its progress from being the 16 th largest economy in the world to potentially a top five by 2030.

The numbers show that, alongside India and China, Indonesia will be one of the main drivers of the Asian economy through the 21 st century. As an open trading nation, the UK’s future will depend on relationships with these big Asian engines of growth.

I’m delighted therefore that the Institute of Export & International Trade has created this new guide to highlight to friends across the business world that #IndonesiaMatters.

I’m keen for more medium-sized British companies to take a serious look at the Indonesian market and visit – it is the only way to get a sense of the potential of this Asian giant.

My team and I are ready to do all we can to help.

Welcome from Mr Richard Graham MP, Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and the ASEAN Economic Community

This country is a dynamic mix of strong economic growth, belief in relationship driven business partnerships and a constant search for quality and innovation.

British business in Indonesia is growing, and will go on doing so as more businesses see the huge opportunities of working with the world’s fourth most populous country. The GREAT campaign is well recognised, the Union Jack a strong brand and London the best showcase for Indonesia’s international aspirations.

Whether education, new sources of energy, modern aerospace, health insurance or creative media, Indonesia is finding the UK a rich source of reliable high tech solutions.

I hope many British investors and exporters will come to Indonesia. In an era where we all face similar challenges like cyber-crime, terrorism and economic volatility, we have much to benefit from sharing solutions and ideas and pursuing opportunities together. It’s a market where little is straightforward, but almost anything is possible – and our role (Government and Chamber of Commerce) is to help make it happen for you. Mr Richard Graham MP Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and the ASEAN Economic Community

My team at the Embassy and the British Chamber of Commerce Indonesia work in partnership to help UK companies export their goods and services to Indonesia.

Our teams identify Indonesian buyers, including Ministries, local government, state owned enterprises, aid donors and private firms. We then introduce these Indonesian buyers to UK firms.

We focus most the majority of our efforts on sectors where we think there is the strongest demand for UK goods and services. In Indonesia, these sectors include aerospace, defence, education, energy, ship building, sports and transport infrastructure.

Our support comes in many ways, including market research, organising trade missions, promoting UK companies at industry events, making introductions and advising UK companies on regulations and exporting best practice.

UK firms that succeed in Indonesia have an on the ground presence and demonstrate persistence, perseverance, and (a gentle) pushiness in their approach. They also recognise that Indonesia is a relationship based market and see my team, and our extensive network, as an extension of their own. I hope we can be part of your firm’s Indonesian success story too.

www. Indonesia .Doing Business Guide .co.uk 15 Foreword from Chris Wren, CEO, BritCham Indonesia

INDONESIA – Desk research won’t suffice. You must visit this market to appreciate the extent of the opportunity.

Indonesia has been through a fascinating evolution over the last two decades. Five Presidents and five peaceful national elections since the departure of the New Order dictatorship has established Indonesia as the most peaceful transition to democracy in modern times, and this is an important fact as business engages in various risk analysis ahead of new investments and new partnerships.

So, is the ease of doing business transitioning in the same way? There are certainly tangible improvements and signs of further easing. For example, entire sectors have been removed from the list limiting foreign direct investment. In the last four years Indonesia has climbed from number 128 to number 72 in the Ease of Doing Business rankings. There is plenty of recognition for the need for more and the resolve at the top of government and within BKPM is evident. The mantra is that a top 40 ranking is a government key performance indicator.

Should we therefore be surprised that BritCham Indonesia has received an unprecedented number of inquiries about market access – post-Brexit referendum? Certainly not! Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world by population at 255 million. The middle class is set to number 90 million in the next decade. Just over 50% of the population is under 30, with a median age of 28 years. Strong and consistent domestic consumption makes the economy more resilient than most to global downturns. Indonesia represents 40% of the GDP of the 10-nation ASEAN trading block and it is the only ASEAN member that sits at the G20 table of nations.

Visit the Website and download the free Mobile App Perhaps the only surprise is that it has taken Brexit uncertainty for corporate UK to notice that Indonesia represents a huge opportunity. For decades, some of our top blue-chip brands in energy, FMCG, retail, F & B, banking and insurance, legal, accounting and other services have flourished. In spite of so many success stories, Indonesia remains relatively unknown, but through Overseas Partner Delivery grants, two major UK roadshows a year, regular webinars, GREAT campaign- funded exhibitions across a range of sectors, it is fast becoming known as the jewel in the ASEAN crown.

Before you consult your diary to book a business trip, it is important to remember that Indonesia is a developing nation. The regulatory environment can appear complicated and burdensome. A deeply embedded business and social culture values relationships highly. There is also the challenge of scale – Indonesia spans from London to Istanbul – where to begin? These factors and others require that the opportunities are approached with caution and patience, that proven professional advice is sought and a strategic journey of discovery is carefully planned.

BritCham Indonesia has the vast resource of its diverse membership, the professional leadership of its Board and the experience and track record of converting interest into successful market access. Your corporate peers recommend BritCham as your trusted partner at the earliest stages of your journey.

The UK has always been at the forefront of innovation by adapting to the ever-changing world. These attributes will see it thrive in the post-Brexit, ‘Asian Century’. By 2050 Asia will account for an incredible 50 percent of the world’s trade, compared with 20 percent today. As ASEAN’s powerhouse economy, Indonesia will be a key driver of this growth. Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest economy and on course to be a global top ten economy by 2030. Half of the 261 million Indonesians are under 30, and the middle class is expected to almost double from 74 million to 141 million by 2020. It has climbed nearly forty places in the past two years for the 2018 Ease of Doing Business rankings, making it an increasingly attractive export destination for UK businesses. Although there are always risks, the opportunities in Indonesia are good if businesses go about it the right way. There are opportunities for niche technologies and various infrastructure projects, such as coal transportation systems, mass transit, and power generating schemes. There is a massive requirement for infrastructure development in Indonesia and opportunities rival those of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The largest economic sector in Indonesia is manufacturing and processing, which contributes around 24 percent of the GDP. Winning international business is challenging and a quote often used about Indonesia is “nothing is easy, but everything is possible”. British businesses currently operating in Indonesia stress the importance of locating and screening good partners, agents, or distributors. Taking care in selecting the right partners is crucial and can help you navigate bureaucracy and regulations to help you successfully establish yourself. The UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC) sits at the heart of the UK-Southeast Asia economic relationship. It aims to raise UK companies’ awareness of the region’s potential and to encourage them to trade with and invest in this dynamic market. The Union flag remains the most reproduced emblem in Indonesia and can be found almost everywhere, especially on public transport and clothing. We work closely with the British Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia who, as your in-market partner, is vital to helping you understand and then navigate the business environment. The UKABC, BritCham, and other key partners such the Institute of Export, are all here to help more UK companies consider, explore, and invest in Indonesia’s amazing economic potential. Ross Hunter Executive Director, UK-ASEAN Business Council

British School Jakarta (BSJ) is an international school with British heritage, for children aged three to 18. The School was founded in 1974 with support from the British Embassy, and was originally intended to educate the children of British and Commonwealth nationals.

Today, about 1,400 children study at BSJ; 40% come from the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth, 30% are Indonesian, and around 40 nationalities comprise the rest of the School. There are over 130 members of academic staff and around 230 employees in other supporting roles.

BSJ employs more British-trained teachers than any other school in Indonesia. A British education is globally reputed to offer a broad and balanced curriculum, and teaching that enables students to exceed their highest goals. British schools also provide exceptional extra-curricular opportunities and prioritise the welfare of their students.

The international pianist, Mr Sam Haywood, gives a masterclass to a BSJ student. These areas are strengthened and applied through a concurrent focus on four specific areas: literacy; mathematics; understanding the world; and expressive arts and design.

Age 5 to 11: Years One to Six In Years One to Six, BSJ teaches a blend of the National Curriculum in England and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).

The National Curriculum introduces The Campus children to the essential knowledge that they need to be educated Established initially in the city centre, citizens, and helps engender an BSJ moved to a green, 18-hectare appreciation of human creativity and estate in Bintaro, south-west of the achievement.

I left school with no ambition to do anything other than help my mum make ends meet.

Luckily for me they recognised a hard worker and asked me to work in various departments. After a year they asked me which one I like the best and without even thinking I said “international”, and that was my career set out for me.

It was frustrating to find that the on ensuring we are ready for the next 80 knowledge that I had accumulated over 11 years of representing the industry and years wasn’t evidenced in any way and that standing as guardian of professional no-one knew exactly what I knew. I was standards in international trade. lucky enough to get my next job with a well-known Japanese computer company OFQUAL* awarding status is hard but it made me realise that if I wanted a earned and we are proud to be the only career, I needed to get qualified. professional body operating in this international trade environment.

Doing Business in Indonesia

Trade shows

A trade show is a method of promoting a business through the exhibition of goods and services, an organised exhibition of products, based on a central theme, where manufacturers meet to show their products to potential buyers.

Taking part in overseas exhibitions is an effective way for you to test markets, attract customers, appoint agents or distributors and make sales. DIT's Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) provides grant support for eligible SME firms to attend trade shows overseas.

Participation is usually as part of a group, a great advantage for inexperienced businesses, and is usually led by one of DIT's Accredited Trade Associations (ATOs). ATOs work with DIT to raise the profile of UK groups and sectors at key exhibitions. For more information visit: https://www.gov.uk/tradeshow-access-programme.

Hi Simon, can you tell us about how Going Global Live started? The Prysm Group had been running The Business Show for 10 years. TheBusiness Show is Europe’s largest event helping UK based companies grow domestically. It became apparent that many of our 20,000+ visitors were looking to expand internationally. There was a need, and there was a gap in the market, so we launched Going Global Live at ExCeL in November 2014, and we’ve Why is it important for SMEs to done 2 events each year ever since. attend the event? Going Global Live takes place twice a Research has shown businesses are 11% year, in May and November. For more more likely to survive if they export their information including event dates, visit the products, Great Britain is currently in a website at: www.goinggloballive.co.uk fantastic position where we have good trade deals in place and British products What can people expect to find at are in high demand. At Going Global Live Going Global Live? we put all the suppliers and services Think of it as a trade show and conference. companies will need to meet in order for Visitors who come to the event will get up them to achieve international expansion, to date advice from world leading experts all under one roof. Trying to meet with all on the most attractive markets and over - of these people would take years to seas opportunities, and be able to speak arrange and do, at the event you can do it to suppliers & service providers who can in 2 days! If you are serious about taking help with the challenging project of your business to the next level, the event international expansion. is a must attend. If you were to start trading in a new market, which country would that be and why? Iran. This is a massive market which is just opening up, and I would want to get there before my competitors. More importantly, I need an excuse to put a trip to Shiraz on business expenses. A city that is famous for poetry, roses and wine needs to be visited. I’m guessing the food is unbelievable too.

Finally, what are you aims going forward? We’ve reached a point where the event has firmly established itself. Visitors leave our events with advice and knowledge they need to grow their company’s further, however we still feel the event can reach a whole new height. So we’re expanding the team and increasing the size of the exhibition. The show has the potential to be four times the size it is now, in terms number of exhibitors, seminars, and visitors at the event.
