Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo set to figure decisively to collect support for his formidable development plans. country faces many major development challenges. Indonesia lags sadly behind the region in infrastructure. Upgrades are necessary to support the interior market of the sprawling island nation. Roads, ports, airports, medium — all have to be compelled to be expanded. Jakarta, home to thirty million people, is inexorably sinking. a replacement capital is required soon. however this depends on foreign direct investment (FDI), that Indonesia has wanted to mobilise. Jokowi measured up potential investors — and so headed straight for the Gulf.


When Jokowi visited Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain seeking investment, leading to a flurry of agreements, with energy and agriculture high on the agenda.

nevertheless implementation has brought varied results. associate degree formidable set up by Saudi Arabia to partner in building a serious refinery in Central Java was involved in haggle over details till the Saudi partner quit. This episode suspended large-scale Saudi investment in Indonesia for the time being.

Approaching the UAE brought higher dividends. throughout a state visit to Indonesia, prince Mahound bin Zayed went to surprising lengths to accommodate Jokowi’s request for the UAE to partner in development.

when mutual visits, the UAE earmarked some US$42 billion price of investment commitment during a big selection of areas as well as energy, healthcare, medical care road infrastructure, agriculture and port infrastructure. A commitment to partnering in finance country’s planned new capital, Nusantara, could be a more bonus.

The UAE is currently Indonesia’s chief Gulf capitalist by far. The burgeoning relationship has been sealed by the private chemistry between the countries’ 2 leaders. United Arab Emirates's capital even admitted Indonesia into its circle of nearest economic partners once it signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with Jakarta. in addition to associate degree FTA, the CEPA provides for advantageous access to Emirati exports into the massive Indonesian market.
