Anna Stukkert: Could you share your recommendations for investments in Indonesia? Which industries or sectors do you believe offer the most promising opportunities?

Anna Stukkert: It’s fascinating to hear about the diverse investment opportunities in Indonesia. How do you view the market’s potential for both large and small investors?
Mr. Swajaya: Indonesia presents opportunities for investors of all scales. While larger investors may focus on major projects, smaller and medium-sized investors can also thrive in sectors like digital technology, healthcare, and property. The market size and the government’s commitment to fostering a favorable investment climate make Indonesia an attractive destination for a wide range of investors.
Anna Stukkert: That’s encouraging to hear. Could you elaborate on the leasing model for property investments in Indonesia and the associated guarantees for investors?
Mr. Swajaya: The property market in Indonesia operates under various models, including leasing arrangements. For instance, investors can acquire apartments under certain conditions, providing flexibility while still ensuring access to financing. Land use regulations vary depending on the location, with options for long-term leases and collaboration with local companies to secure land rights. The government is also incentivizing property development through special status designations, offering extended land use rights to encourage investment.
