Investing in Indonesia

About the Book

“Doing business in the country can be surprisingly complex. In recognition of this and out of a desire to attract investors to the land of her birth, Salz has put together an impressive guide that seeks to demystify the process.” John E. Rope “… a compelling case for anyone considering developing a business in the fourth most populated country in the world.” J. W. Bankston “The work is less about highlighting the advantages of “Investing in Indonesia,” than a compendium of requirements. Readers will learn about the steps to, for instance, acquire land or obtain necessary licenses.” J. W. Bankston
