This study analyzed data from interviews with executives from 35 U.S. companies invested in Indonesia across various sectors such as manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and retail. It found that from 2004-2012, U.S. foreign direct investment in Indonesia totaled $65 billion and companies plan to invest another $61 billion in the next 3-5 years. This investment has contributed to the Indonesian economy and national revenues, creating over 180,000 jobs with average wages of $580 per month. However, the report also cites legal and regulatory uncertainty, insufficient infrastructure, and shortage of skilled workers as barriers to maintaining large foreign investment in Indonesia.
