WhileSoutheast Asia'slargest market has seen a decade of transformative economic growth and social progress, at the macroeconomic level, the country needs to better diversify its industries and ramp up its infrastructure development to open new markets and enhance accessibility. Key new fields thatIndonesiashould emphasize include its promising carbon economy, investments in clean energy transition, and growth powered by innovations, such as artificial intelligence (AI).

Seo Young Lee, Partner and Head ofSoutheast Asia,Oliver Wymansaid:"Looking ahead,Indonesiawill have to navigate global changes and a rebalancing of supply chains, but with its refreshed government, robust economic policies, growing digital economy, and rising investments in infrastructure, we believe the country is poised for sustained growth and development."

Key insights from the report include:

  • Foreign investors rediscoveringIndonesia'sopportunities:In the first quarter of 2024,Indonesiaachieved an investment realization ofIDR 401.5 trillion(approximatelyUS$24.7 billion) according to Bank Indonesia — an increase of 22.1% over the previous quarter.[1]Key sectors such as manufacturing, mining, telecommunications, and transportation continue to lead as the highest contributors to this figure, with the food and beverage industry also emerging as a significant earner.
  • Natural advantage and value of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS):Indonesia'sfavorable location and considerable capacity for CO2 storage position it as an ideal location to develop a CCUS end-to-end value chain. CCUS inIndonesia, specifically from the overall industrial sector, including steel and cement, could be worth up toUS$1.8to 2.7 billion annually by 2050. Combining domestic and international CO2 markets, the total attributable market size for CCUS inIndonesiaamounts toUS$2.3to 3.2 billion annually by 2050.
  • Advancing net zero targets:The way forward involves prioritizing renewable energy for all new capacity, investing in transmission and distribution infrastructure, and storage, deploying the off-balance sheet to lower financing costs, and creating investor certainty through system-wide target setting.
  • Indonesianeeds an AI strategy:Indonesiahas seenUS$1.9 billionforeign investments in AI,[2]but lacks an overarching institutional strategy that mainstreams the innovation. The country should choose best practices to emulate from the rest of the world, select industries that are best positioned to benefit from AI, and take a highly targeted, multistage approach to its implementation.

Anosh Pardiwalla, Head ofIndonesia,Oliver Wymanexpressed:"As a key market forOliver WymaninSoutheast Asia, we will continue to place big bets on vital areas, and help empower businesses and policymakers inIndonesiaduring their transformative moments. 2025 will see us further strengthen our commitment to the Indonesian market, not only in the clients we support but also our presence on the ground and the talent we take on."

The report was launched at Oliver Wyman's"Unlocking The Age Of Golden Indonesia Summit"onNovember 20. The summit saw guest speakers fromIndonesia'sCoordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investment Affairs, Pertamina, BNI Ventures,and Google Cloud Indonesia.
