Weaknesses of Indonesian Economic

Chamber of Indonesia Commerce and Industry (Kadin) declared Indonesian economy that is actually very promising for both domestic and foreign investors. However, there are still weaknesses seeing by Kadin of the economy that need to be addressed. Vice Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, Novian Anindya Bakrie said, promising Indonesian economy is evidenced by incoming investment, private consumption, and vibrant business world.

"But there are still some weaknesses that Indonesia's economic structure needs to be addressed now," said Anindya at Menara Kadin Jakarta, Wednesday (06/03/2013).

Anindya see Indonesia's economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.

On the other hand, Anindya also highlights subsidy of oil (BBM) to the people who actually are not even on target. Current budget fuel subsidy enjoyed by the rich instead.

"As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the weakening of the rupiah," he added.

Again, the actual budget for infrastructure even neglected. He rated in the last few months that there is no improvement of government policy so that a problem cannot be resolved. Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will pull out of Indonesia.

Opinion: 

My opinion on the article, I totally agree with what was revealed in the article. Because, if we continue to import goods and few exports, Indonesia's economy has declined, whereas the goods we import raw materials from Indonesia itself.
For the case of fuel I also agree with what is disclosed in the article. I see many luxury cars that use fuel subsidies, fuel subsidies when it should only be to the bottom. But, the government can't do anything of yourself if society doesn't want to take the action that should (move from subsidized fuel to a fuel suitable)
