Indonesia is more than a extended workbench for cheap
production. Of course such opportunities are still existing in
some sectors but the key strengths of the markets are the
growing local demand for high quality products, infrastructure
and more.
The markets have to cope with the countries rapid growth and
this demands for local supplies and extended onshore activities
of foreign investors.
