ASIAN INVESTMENT IN INDONESIA: GAIN OR LOSS?

Asian capital is building Indonesia’s smelters and industrial estates. Dr Eko Setiobudi asks whether it will strengthen Indonesia’s own industry and bargaining power.

Asian investment is helping Indonesia expand mineral processing and industrial capacity, but the country's long-term gains will depend on whether foreign capital strengthens domestic technology, local suppliers, and Indonesia's bargaining power.

From the opening:
“When foreign investment increases, governments usually celebrate it as a sign of market confidence in the national economy. New factories are built, industrial estates expand, exports are expected to grow, and jobs are created.”

By Dr Eko Setiobudi, Lecturer in economics, STIES Mitra Karya, Bekasi, Indonesia

ASIA'S ECONOMIC POWER RACE: WHO IS HELPING CHINA WIN?

Dr Mukammil Shah Yousafzai on Asia's five largest economies, China's record trade surplus, and the partners and rivals that sustain Beijing's economic position.

Asia's Big Five are reshaping global trade, while China's expanding alliances strengthen its economic influence.

From the opening:
“The global economic balance of power is shifting eastward. Asia is no longer simply the manufacturing centre of the world; it has become the principal arena where industrial supremacy, technological leadership, financial influence and geopolitical power are being contested.”

By Dr Mukammil Shah Yousafzai, Director of Quality Assurance and HRD, Prime Group, Islamabad
