Markets in Dark About Indonesian Goods: Yudhoyono
January 30, 2011


President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is seeking to promote the country's products 
more, after learning at a recent economic forum that many traders are still 
unfamiliar with Indonesian goods. 

"I met members of the international business community this morning and most of 
them said they didn't know much about Indonesian products," he said at the 
World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. 

"They knew more about Indian and Chinese goods," the president added. 

Yudhoyono said his focus at the meeting was to attract investments and boost 
the country's image. 

"The more they know about Indonesia, the more eagerly they will want to have a 
partnership with us," he said. 

"Let the world know that we need improvements. Some of [the problems] are real 
and some are still to be solved," Yudhoyono said. 

Developed countries, he said, offered lucrative business opportunities and 
Indonesia was considered a top investment destination after China and India. 

Foreign businessmen, he added, were aware that the country posted the region's 
third-best economic growth. 

"Many of them who had already made an investment told me to add more business," 
he said. "And there were those who were not yet serious about coming to 
Indonesia to make deals. I responded well if they would benefit us." 

He said he told world leaders and prominent entrepreneurs that the country had 
solved problems, especially in terms of the business climate, law enforcement 
and corruption. 

As the Asean chairman, Yudhoyono also said it was his responsibility to extol 
Southeast Asia's contributions to the world economy. "I have a moral 
responsibility to tell the world that Indonesia and the Asean are developing as 
good business partners," he said. 

Indonesia took over the Southeast Asian association's rotating chairmanship 
this year. 

Yudhoyono said he looked forward to the East Asia World Economic Forum to be 
held in Indonesia in July, since it "would bring more benefits to the country 
by expanding international business as well as investment." 

The president flew back to Jakarta on Saturday after the Swiss conference.
