For sure Bali has developed a lot the last few years, but don't compare it to other regions like Sulawesi for example. Bali is far from representative of the normal Indonesia. Way richer and more westernised than any other region over there.

I hope you realise that. I've been both in Bali and Jakarta, and rest assured Bali is screaming western tourism. Let's hope Jakarta develops well the coming years.

[@abdulalrovi683]

​@@stijn4771​​ if you think 80% of jakarta is far from being properly developed, why would you think bali is better? Dude, The province of bali is huge. It's combined land and sea territory is almost 15.000sqkm and consists of 85 islands. You talking about bali like it's a small district. Probably because you only go to tourist area like kuta or tanah lot which are of course highly westernized and quite developed because there are so many expats there. Jakarta's government spending in 2023 is Rp.74,5T, while bali is only Rp.7,5T, That is 10x bigger. Why would you think a province as big as Bali would beat Jakarta which is small province-level city (because it's the capital city of the country) with 1/10th of Budget. On average, Jakarta is far more westernized than Bali. Even many young people speak a confusing language called South Jakartan English. Next time you go to bali, get out of the tourist area and see how westernized the balinese are. djpk.kemenkeu.go.id/portal/data/apbd?tahun=2023&provinsi=09&pemda=00

As a half swiss-indonesian who grew up in switzerland and have been to Indonesia every couple years since 1991 for vacation and visit relatives, seeing how my second home is changing always shock me to see. Even when i think about how my relatives life conditions were back in early 2000s or hearing stories from 70s/80s compared to how their life look like in the 2020s is just amazing and im happy to see the growth of middle class and also many new rich people. I hope condition will also further change for the poorer part of indonesians which still have hard life and struggles every day. Also how many new projects all over Indonesia are popping up is insane! It feels like every time when i go there, something has changed again (not always but most times) for the better. I think this era is comparable to the economic growth in europe after WW2 or even further back during industrialization when european countries and big cities like Berlin, London or Paris (which were growing cities but with lot of pollution and dirty rivers, slums and big inequality) completely transformed and changed their whole face into what we know them today. So how will Indonesia will be in like 20, 50 or 100 years? Im excited to see and hopefully i can witness some of the next decades. Terus melaju untuk Indonesia maju!❤

@@rssyng Indonesia has so much potential and hurdle at the same time. Polarized politics, rampant corruption across many government departments, extreme social and economy disparity, systemic poverty, lack of infrastructure, low access to higher educations, etc. There's a survey that says 1% of the population holds the 50% of entire country's economy. That's how extreme the socioeconomic disparity in the country. Despite all of that, the country has so much potential from its people, abundant resources, and even geography location.

[@yuliaa6328]

[@ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12]

To be honest, the stability score is a little undervalued in my opinion. The Indonesian economy is one of the most resilient economies in Asia in the recent decade after the financial crisis, averaging 4-5% of growth despite any kind of economic circumstances of the world. The country is still growing economically well above the world average after the recovery in 2021 (currently with a growth of 5% compared to the slumping projected 3% world average) and is projected to keep going the next year despite how bad the US and EU economy is right now. Despite facing such a huge obstacle from the COVID pandemic and the global supply chain meltdown. So In my opinion it deserves to have at least a score of 6 or even 7 for its stability.

[@m.n152]

Ikr, as an economics chanel, they also fail to mention how Indonesian economy is mainly regional and how it is very resilient to outside influence, which is by design since the 1998 crisis.

Nah, I think for growth they are far slower than other developing economy. This is due to the fact that Indonesia is competing with Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Indonesia is more focused on stability due to 1998 Trauma. Indonesia is taking less risk than other country. It's prevalent with the fact that people are already anxious with 41% of GDP Debts. If Indonesia willing to take more risk to realize their economy, while also avoiding Corruption, Indonesia will become stronger economy faster. That might made EE think again about Growth Score.

I've been visiting Indonesia practically once every 4 years, since 1999. And every time I'm astounished (literally blown back) by all the progress I see (a Belgian businessman I met at a bar in Lombok in 2015 even remarked: "Their roads are better than ours"). This is the stuff I've heard from my grandparents and parents about the rebuilding and economic boom of post-war Europe. But on "Asia speed". One thing that comes to mind is that most Indonesians still believe they're a poor and backwards country from the days of the Asian Financial Crisis, and vow to roll up their sleeves to strive to never go back to those days again. I had a discussion with a truckdriver in a truckstop in East Java for instance. He started the familiar apologising for such a poor country. I asked him how much he earned in a month. His eyes went wide when I told him he made twice as much as the average truckdriver in Russia.

[@ArchusKanzaki]

Probably because Indonesia Rupiah is still considered "weak", especially when compared to neighbor currencies like Singapore Dollar, and Malaysia Ringgit. For most people, indicator of a country being rich, is how the currency compares to other countries. While a "weak" currency theoretically helps export, you will still feel poor when you go overseas, and see that potential months of rent money in Indonesia, may only cover food in other country.

Well, not really. We inherited some laws from the Dutch like the Criminal Code and so many Dutch colonial infrastructure like government buildings, factories, and so on especially in Java Island. It's not much but there's that. The difference is that Malaysia gained independence mostly through negotiation and the Brits already promised independence, while the Dutch didn't. Dutch would have wanted to control the Dutch East Indies forever if they had the chance. They want to milk Indonesia for WWII reparation back in Europe. They are the most stingy colonialists ever, they won't let go of their most valuable colony.

Indonesia is kinda a miracle because how big and diverse it is. I live in Java my whole life so there's a time where I took things as granted. But then I met more people outside of the island and hear their opinions of things and their way of life. Is so much different. Even the quality of life in only West Java itself is so different depending on where have you live. The problem is really is infrastructure, there's never really spread out evenly. Even Railway only available on Java and Sumatra. So people in other island other than that two has to travel with boat/plane to just go to the other province in the same island and traveling inland is not that good too because the roads not yet to be build. But nowadays there's more development, like new Highway on Papua or the railway on Sulawesi.

As of today we are in good era where the current President of Indonesia, President Joko Widodo, is trying to push development mainly through infrastructure (such as building toll roads, seaports, airports etc...) and education. However, because there are some corruptions from some of the politicians, it made Indonesia's development become delayed.

I’m not talking about Indonesia specifically, but a country like India, which has more than 5 times Indonesia’s population and a lot more than all other countries except China. So of course it’s not surprising for India to be in the top 10 in GDP. What’s actually bad is for India to NOT be in the top 2 since they have so many more people than all other countries except China. The key is GDP per capita. Indonesia’s is still low, but India’s is even lower. Both countries have a long way to go, but Indonesia is still ahead (which is why it’s hugely underrated).

[@niklassjvar1635]

Indonesia has been consistently growing only impeded by the incompetence of the leaders, current state of the country owes itself to better governance for the past 10 years. Whether it will continue smoothly or become another venezuela depends on future governance and policies. It really could go both ways as the safety net isnt really there yet. But the people itself is very resillient like other comments stated. Great video pointing out facts and projections instead of just stating positive results one sidedly like most out there. All the best for indonesians

[@ecoideazventures6417]

EE needs to rank Indonesia much higher on stability since we have never heard of any destabilising news from this country since the Asian currency crisis way back in 1998. Joko Widodo is highly regarded as the most stable and efficient administrator!

[@fasha7747]

Maybe our neighbours has something to say about West Papua. Especially Australians and Oceanic countries often potray us as West Papuan colonizer

[@MugroofAmeen]

Our instability has more to do with corruption rather than military problems.

[@MugroofAmeen]

And for people talking about West Papua; the so called "insurgency" is just a remote and fringe movement that only operates in desolate mountainous areas. Most Papuans i've met just seen them as batshit insane.

Indonesians have to keep electing folks like Jokowi to keep rising, and not get sidetracked by candidates who promise to decide more by faithful ideologies. Remember there are four other points of Pancasila to balance with.

[@yamiRic]

Thank you for covering Indonesia. Next year, Indonesia will face a massive challenge because it is the end of term of our very popular government. Indonesia's massive growth over past 20 years are mostly because of the trust to our government (only executive. Our legislative is very corrupt) and next year, if the new government failed to manifest the same trust, all the smart Indonesian will stay away from the system. But we really enjoy the growth and political stability over these past 2 decades under SBY government and Jokowi's government.

I do wonder whether Starlink will be a major boon to Indonesia since it might be cheaper than using cables for the smaller islands.

[@drscopeify]

Starlink is just a tool that bounces the signal from a house to a local receiving tower so it won't solve that problem as it still needs to run the cables to each island and also now build signal towers but won't need to connect every single house by wire which would for sure help big time.

[@FactorTrace]

Indonesian here, I've lived most of my childhood in a big city near the capital Jakarta and in my early teens, I moved to a much smaller town in North Sumatra where I reside until now. And the difference in economic development, among other things, is stark. I can clearly tell that regional disparity is a huge problem for the country. For reasons mainly geographic but not limited to it. Cultural and ethnicity differences also play a part in segregating our nation. Our second president, Soeharto, despite having done a lot to build our economy, only focused in Java, the majority of Indonesia's landmass was left relatively neglected. Moving between islands can feel like moving to a different country. But I feel optimistic about Indonesia, I hope our economic will keep improving in the future.

[@shutup1037]

I agree that being too big to handle. The infrastructure progress is hard because you need ship and plane just to get to other island, make lot of region feel neglected

[@budakbaongsiah]

That's how it is even on developed country though. A move from New York to rural North Dakota would be like moving from Jakarta to rural Sulteng.

[@FactorTrace]

@@budakbaongsiah I'd disagree, the continental US is just a huge chunk of land. It is very large, yes, but not separated into islands, there is no difference in culture, language, or ethnicity (at least in the modern day), and as I know it, the East and Weast coasts of the US are well connected through train tracks, interstate highways, and airports. When transporting goods around, having to load, unload, dock and undock containers from land to sea to land again requires a lot more time and effort than just transporting with a single line of freight train track or truck way.
