Spotlight Asia: Successfully Investing in Indonesia

 

The latest edition explores Indonesia, which has demonstrated considerable growth and reform in recent years. M&A is on the increase, and the market has emerged as a rising star among international investors, clearly attracted by the country’s abundance of natural resources and strategic location in Southeast Asia. However, while much progress has been made, the market is still rife with potential pitfalls just waiting to trip up unsuspecting investors. Understanding the risks is half the battle.

 Subscribe free of charge to stay informed of the latest M&A trends around the region and the risks you face when acquiring in Asia.

 In the next issue of Spotlight Asia we will be exploring the Indian M&A landscape, which looks set to pick up pace in 2012. But while this market is potentially highly lucrative, international investors face a whole host of obstacles, from FDI regulations to understanding the legalities of Indian business and a lack of transparency on the ground. Smart investors make sure they know what they are getting in to up front.
