Indonesia is a large and geographically diverse country that has abundant resources such as nickel, gold, coffee and other forest and marine resources. As part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) free trade zone, Indonesia’s strategic geographic position allows easy onward access to other Southeast Asian countries plus China, Japan and Australia for UK companies looking to expand in the region.
The UK is the seventh biggest investor in Indonesia, after Singapore, Japan, US, South Korea, Netherlands, and British Virgin Islands. The UK’s main exports to Indonesia are machinery and transport equipment, chemical and related products, manufactured goods and crude materials.
