More than 300 ethnic groups make Indonesia’s unique cultures, geography, and history, with two thirds of the population reside in Java, one of 17,000 islands in the archipelago.  Around 9.4% of the population lived below the national poverty line (ADB – 2019). The country’s real GDP growth remained broadly stable at 5.1 percent during the first quarter of 2019. Despite global volatility, Indonesia’s economy has grown at a consistent pace with quarterly GDP growth remaining between 4.9 to 5.3 percent over the past 3 years (World Bank). The country's top three products include oil and natural gas, coal, and tin for mineral resources; rice, palm oil, and coffee for agricultural products; and processed rubber, plywood, and textiles for manufactured products.

Southeast Asia Regional Report 2023 - 2024

Regional prosperity is based on private sector growth, foreign investment and outward looking policies on trade, tourism and migration. In the region, we work with governments in areas like regenerative agriculture, export promotion and dual vocational training. In doing so, we amplify our results through working with the private sector in adapting new business models to include disadvantaged groups of society, raising skills standards in key sectors such as agriculture mechanisation, entrepreneurship promotion and hospitality. This is what we achieved in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos and Vietnam in 2023.
