IDXChannel - United States (US) private investment in Indonesia generated an economic impact of USD130 billion between 2014 and 2023, stemming from direct investments totaling USD67 billion, according to a report.
The US Investment: A Partner in Innovation for Indonesia report was released by the American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia (AmCham Indonesia) in partnership with EY Indonesia and launched during the US-Indonesia Investment Summit this week.
