TEMPO Interactive, Surakarta:Surakarta branch of Indonesian Chamber of Commerce (KADIN) chairman, Hardono, said that Surakarta businessmen are unprepared for the implementation of the ASEAN free trade in 2015. \u201cSome businessmen do not even know that they will enter the ASEAN free trade zone in 2015, let alone preparing on how to deal with it,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n
Peter Jacobs, Bank Indonesia\u2019s chief of Investment Relations and Foreign Review Analysis, said Indonesia is a good market. Many businessmen in other countries are vying to invest here. \u201cWhat needs to be considered is how we can and should be not just a consumer, but also a producer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Peter, the business sector must prepare themselves by building physical infrastructure, a positive business climate, and reduction of high-cost economy. Additionally, small to medium-scale business empowerment programs must be developed as well as the general quality of human resources.<\/p>\n
