Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Agriculture Minister Anton Apriyantono said Indonesia lacked agribusiness players despite the fact that it is a big agrarian country. "The number of people willing to do agribusiness in Indonesia is even smaller than that of Singapore which has a large number of agribusiness investors," the minister said when he opened the "Agrinex Expo 2008" here on Friday.

Emaar Properties and the Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) have inked a joint venture deal to create a mega-tourism and mixed-use project on Lombok. The residential and resort community will sprawl across 1175 hectares, including the pristine Kuta and Tanjung beaches.

Oar. And I thought Evan was trying to sell it a few years ago.

“Indonesia’s fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product numbers paint a picture of sustainable investment-led growth. Discuss.” The “sustainable” part of that picture is true-to-life. The investment-spending is putting no serious strain on the country’s finances. What’s more, analysis tells me Indonesia’s growth currently has the most benign possible outlook: both capital stock and return on capital stock are rising. But “investment-led” is crucially misleading.
