Background
Indonesia and France share a strong bilateral relationship, with trade reaching USD 2.5 billion in 2023 and France ranking as Indonesia’s 12th largest global investor. Despite a trade deficit, Indonesia’s growing economy, middle class, and investment-friendly policies like the Omnibus Law offer significant opportunities for French FDI, particularly in sectors like renewable energy, transportation, and infrastructure. With a focus on quality investments that drive job creation and innovation, the Indonesia-France Business Forum 2024 aims to foster deeper economic collaboration between the two nations.
Theme and Key Issues
Indonesia-France Business Forum 2024 will focus on the theme “Economic Transformation: Towards Golden Indonesia 2045”, highlighting opportunities for investment in strategic sectors. The event aims to strengthen existing economic cooperation between Indonesia and France while exploring new avenues in alignment with Indonesia’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2045. Key issues include:
- Indonesia’s evolving policies, represented by the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Industry, focusing on the nation’s priority sectors.
- Private sector perspectives from PT. PLN, PT Pertamina NRE, and PT. KIT Batang, with discussions on industry-specific opportunities.
- Focus on two primary areas: 1) priority commodities in industrialization; and 2) acceleration of energy transition
