Unit 4: Economic Development in Indonesia

Should Indonesia be added to the BRICS? Or will infrastructure issues slow it down the pace of economic development?

Here is a video report from the fast-growing country of Indonesia where infrastructure deficiencies threaten their sustainable growth rate.


"From outdated, overcapacity ports to stalled road and rail projects, Indonesia's infrastructure is in a sorry state. The resulting traffic jams and transportation delays affect everyone from local commuters to international investors. The government has grand designs to build new roads, airports and metro systems but endemic corruption and red tape stand in the way. Indonesia will have to up its game if it is to fulfill its potential as on of the world's hottest emerging markets."



Boom time for the Indonesian economy
