Four obstacles hindering investment in Indonesia, says govt

Indonesia faces four major obstacles that are stopping investors from spending money here, Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Radjasa says.

“We have to focus on resolving these four problems,” Hatta told journalists on Wednesday.

These problems include a lack of infrastructure, overlapping regulations, and corruption, he said.

For example, before investors could begin their work, they were already being burdened with official fees, he said.
