A lack of regulations and airport facilities has made Indonesia's air cargo industry virtually stagnant during the past several years, as investors are reluctant to enter the business, says an executive. Chris Kanter, spokesman for the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), said Wednesday legal uncertainty and poor airport facilities had contributed to slow growth in the industry.

The Indonesian court system was the worst of all Indonesian government institutions and required a "complete overhaul", said a foreign lawyer speaking at a panel discussion on Indonesia's trade and investment prospects in Jakarta on Wednesday. U.S. attorney Andrew Sriro, from the Indonesian law firm Dyah Ersita and Partners and author of Sriro's Desk Reference of Indonesian Law, said Indonesia exists in an environment where the rule of law is "very weak".
