Foreign Investment in Indonesia
Indonesia is rapidly liberalizing its investment landscape, positioning itself as the primary destination for international capital in Southeast Asia.

This change has drastically expanded the sectors open to foreign investors. For a technical overview of how this affects starting a business in Bali, consult our central roadmap.
