I have been speaking with Japanese businesses and investors this week, and am surprised at how many are still unaware of the size of #Indonesia’s economy.
I hope my Japanese friends find the following useful:
1. Indonesia’s GDP is expected to reach USD 1.39 trillion this year (as predicted by the International Monetary Fund), just a little over a third of Japan’s (USD 4.941 trillion), which is currently the third largest economy in the world.
2. Indonesia is the only trillion-dollar economy in #SoutheastAsia (SEA). As this handy infographic by Southeast Asia Stats shows, Indonesia’s GDP is approximately the same size as those of the seven smallest economies of SEA combined.
3. According to Reuters, Indonesia’s economic growth is the strongest it has been in almost a decade, “fueled by revived spending from the lifting of pandemic restrictions and as a global commodity boom sent exports to a record high”.
4. More than half of Indonesia’s young population is under the age of 30, and its demographic pyramid is the inverse of aging Japan’s, which has the world’s highest proportion of citizens over 65 (28%).
5. Indonesia is expected to be the third largest contributor to the middle-class over the next decade, after only China and India.
What else would you add?
