The Government of Indonesia (Minister of Finance, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, and Governor of Bank Indonesia) in cooperation with the U.S. – Indonesia Society (USINDO) and the U.S. – ASEAN Business Council (USABC) is pleased to invite your company to send one senior corporate representative to the Voyage to Indonesia 2018 Washington D.C. Gala Dinner on Wednesday, October 11, held at the Fairmont Hotel. To RSVP please follow the registration instructions below. Admission is by invitation and limited to registered guests only. For questions regarding invitations, please contact the inquiry numbers below.
Predicted to be the world’s 7th largest economy by 2030, Indonesia is becoming an increasingly significant key player in regional and global markets. Since the beginning of 2017, Indonesia has shown stunning improvement in key economic sectors: its investment rating has risen, its GDP growth is predicted to further strengthen to 5.3% in 2018, a stable national currency and muted inflation have supported growth in private consumption, and comprehensive economic reform packages have shown the government’s commitment to improving Indonesia’s financial and economic climate. Despite these achievements Indonesia’s Foreign Direct Investment levels still represent a lower share of GDP compared to other countries in the region. Thus Indonesia is still open to a variety of investment opportunities in many key sectors.
The Voyage to Indonesia 2018 Gala Dinner will provide you a direct update by three of Indonesia’s most senior and distinguished ministers -- Coordinating Minister Luhut Pandjaitan, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, and Central Bank Governor Agus Martowardojo on this high-potential and rapidly growing country. These three ministers will provide their insights on such key issues as Indonesia’s latest economic policies affecting its growth, upgraded investment rating, and new opportunities for its development and investment potential. These include investment opportunities in infrastructure, IT, banking, energy, creative industries, tourism, real estate, and others. A high-level US Guest of Honor will also speak on the bilateral relationship and the opportunities for enhanced economic cooperation.
The Gala Dinner is a kick-off component of The Voyage to Indonesia (VTI) 2018, a series of events on Indonesia commencing now and leading up to the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings 2018 in Bali October 2018. It will be an outstanding event on Indonesia, its economy and culture, and the October 2018 Bali meeting. Please join us for this special evening. For RSVP details, please see below.
Space is limited at this time to one representative per company. If you would like to bring more than one representative, please indicate to us and we will advise if space is available. Please respond as soon as possible and no later than September 30, 2017, so that we may best accommodate you.
