Indonesia - A Note
The Republic of Indonesia is in Southeast
Asia. Comprising 17,508 islands, it is the world's largest
archipelagic state. With a population of 223 million people,
it is the world's fourth most populous country. The country
shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and
Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, the
Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Although the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation,
officially it is not an Islamic state. Indonesia is a
republic, with an elected parliament and president. The
president, elected for a five-year term, is the top
government and political figure. Its constitution provides
for a separation of executive, legislative, and judicial
power.
Indonesia has a market-based economy in which the government
plays a significant role. It owns more than 164 state-owned
enterprises and administers prices on several basic goods,
including fuel, rice, and electricity. The main industries
in Indonesia are petroleum and natural gas; textiles,
apparel, and footwear; mining, cement, chemical fertilizers,
plywood, rubber, food and tourism. Indonesia weathered the
Asian financial crisis by recapitalizing its banking sector,
improving oversight of capital markets, and taking steps to
stimulate growth and investment, particularly in
infrastructure. GDP growth has steadily risen this decade,
achieving an estimated 6.2% in 2007.
Assistance to the Indonesian Government and private sector
focuses on creating jobs by improving the business and
investment climate, combating corruption, increasing
competitiveness in key sectors, and improving the safety of
the financial system.
Indonesia’s currency unit is called the Rupiah.
