This book examines the transformation of the Indonesian economy during the presidency of Joko Widodo and the economic policies that have underpinned it, with a particular focus on manufacturing, services and infrastructure development. It not only assesses the current social and economic conditions within Indonesia, but also explores Indonesia's place within the global economy and the important role it will play in the future, particularly with regard to global supply chains. The need to balance technological modernization and capital investment with economic and strategic autonomy is also discussed.
This book outlines Indonesia's economic development in recent years and considers the country's potential for further development in the coming years. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in development economics and economic policy.
