    Featured Germany Anticipates Growing Role In Indo-Pacific Region

    I honestly think we're going to get a front seat in the rise of a new Germany. For decades Germany has tried to avoid the reins of power, associating it with the bloody past of failed Imperial and Nazi regimes. And yet, the EU needs Germany. It needs it all the more now. With an increasingly...

    Any idea how we're going to prevent this smuggling? Overall I have the feeling that Indonesia has soured on Chinese investment. Not only is it a pain in the *** domestically, they tend to have major delays in delivery as well. One of the reasons why we're trying to bring in the Australians...

    BREAKING August PMI is 50.8 for Indonesia. While barely above 50, this means that the Indonesian manufactory sector is expanding. This is great news as it indicates that there is a good chance that Q3 GDP will be a very narrow negative or even stagnant from last year...

    Moodys confirm only 3 countries in G20 to show postive GDP growth this Year = Guess ??? the 3

    While I'm happy for the vote of confidence on Indonesia, I think we all know the country that has so far managed Covid the best (when accounting for complexity and size) is definitely China. In a way, China, India, and Indonesia are all very lucky as we are centers of Vaccine production and...

    Overall the points bought up the article is mostly reasonable. Looking at the journalist's previous articles there is no strong indication he's an SJW (looks more overworked then anything). The part about flooding is... unverifiable. I think its fair that the presence of such a structure cause...

    Why do we still use something so old? It feels like one of those fossils in LATAM that were already obsolete during the cold war

    I suspect one of the reasons is that we need skilled workers to operate precision machinery and foreigh workers find it very very hard to obtain working permit unless it is a big ticket infrastructure project. Even then they tend to be politicalized a lot. As such since there is no one to train...

    Hello all, I would like to post a quick discussion on a few trends that can be found in the January-July 2020 BKPM report. The first of all is that Semester 1 was the first time since at least the Reformation Era where DDI (Domestic Direct Investment) was higher than FDI (Foreign Direct...

    That 600 thousand a month is a good example of idealistic laws shooting the gov in the foot. Part of reason why the gov was extremely reluctant to lockdown. The Lockdown law stated that gov must provide money subsidy and food water necessities to everyone effected of lockdown free of charge...

    It feels like every other page here is discussion on something Alman posts on his twitter, or talking about his bias. Who the hell is he anyway? Why is news from him so well regarded (and polarizing)? He some type of military Denny Siregar with dubious 'insider' info?

    This bouhaha about a TNI-BIN covid medicine is really alarming to me, especially since the gov seems ready to throw money at it. Is it a vaccine or a medical drug like remedesivir? Or a combination of generic drugs that seem more effective than usual in handling symptoms? If its not a vaccine...

    Lets hope it actually pans out that way I tend to believe that nationalization will improve the profit-sharing of the resources extracted (as in the nation recieves more benefit). When it comes to raw output though, more often then not output will slump, at least short to medium term. After...

    Glad the gov is pursuing food security using the Food Estate system. The irrigations need to be properly constructed and maintained or we'll end up with more flooding. Hopefully the gov can coordinate it well and it doesn't end up getting "repurposed" for other uses. In short, avoid EU...
