Indonesia: A Regional Energy Leader in Transition

The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) and the US-ASEAN Business Council are pleased to invite you to attend the 11th annual Energy Security Workshop, Indonesia: A Regional Energy Leader in Transition. 

Indonesia’s successful democratic transition and strong economy have made the country a major political and economic power in Southeast Asia and the broader region. Indonesia is now a key strategic and economic partner for the United States in the Asia-Pacific, and Indonesia has become increasingly important in shaping a peaceful, prosperous future for Asia. 

Energy resources and exports are a critical part of Indonesia’s success story and have helped raise levels of prosperity across Asia. However, rapidly rising energy demand, ongoing energy subsidies, and declining production have begun to erode this process. As a natural leader and a key partner to the United States, Japan, and others in Asia, Indonesia’s economic and energy success is of vital concern for not just Indonesia, but for the wider Asia-Pacific. 

Kindly note that the Energy Security Workshop is held under Chatham House Rules.
