This is the largest investment mission to visit the region since the establishment of the Southeast Asia Investment Deal Teams, a recommendation of the Invested: Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040 report announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Jakarta in 2023.
Australia has established Investment Deal Team hubs in Jakarta, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City, with additional representatives across ASEAN. The teams work with governments and businesses in the region to identify and facilitate outbound investment opportunities for Australian investors.
"The calibre and size of the mission underscores the increased interest Australian investors have in Indonesia – one of the fastest and largest growing markets," Westacott said. (Wahyu Dwi Anggoro)
