indonesia activity by sector

Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy and has delivered consistently high economic growth, which has resulted in increasing infrastructure expansion and an expanding consumer market in the world's fourth-largest country by population.    Indonesia has benefitted from its strategic location on the world's major trade routes and its wealth of natural resources.  Indonesia is an important trading partner for the United States, it is a top-ten market for U.S. agricultural products and within the top 30 overall markets for U.S. exports.  In order to further strengthen this important relationship, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) has pre-approved 11 Indonesian banks to receive expedited financing under a $1 billion bank facility to support U.S. exports to Indonesia.  This bank facility enables Indonesian companies to access Ex-Im Bank-backed financing from their local banks and helps Ex-Im Bank approve these transactions more quickly.
