Export Promotion in Indonesia

摘要

The experience of Indonesia demonstrates the importance of policy and regulatoryreform to export growth. A combination of macroeconomic and sector-specific reforms, implemented gradually, was effective in attracting foreign capital and in introducing competition in hitherto closed or constrained sectors of the economy. This study assesses the range of export promotion services in Indonesia from the perspectives of service providers and the firms using such services. Factors considered include the source of services, their use and impact, and the nature of competition in the market for services and information. The study also examines the Agency for International Development's (A.I.D.) limited experience in assisting export promotion in Indonesia during the 1980s.
