Investment Facilities Obtained by Foreign Investor

Foreign investment is needed for the country to increase income and improve the country's economic level. Indonesia as a developing country is intensively increasing Foreign Investment to Indonesia in order to help improve the country's economy and open up jobs for the wider people.
