Message from Ambassador Marciel

Welcome to the U.S. Mission’s new business tab, our latest effort to provide U.S. companies with the information needed to seize more commercial opportunities in Indonesia.  Indonesia’s economic outlook continues to be positive, with GDP growth topping six percent and an increasing sense of optimism and confidence among the Indonesian public.  However, with growth and confidence have come pressing infrastructure needs and regulatory challenges. 

I encourage you to read through the many resources on this site and reach out to the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, the Consulate in Surabaya, and our American Presence Post in Medan to learn more.  We want to work with you to secure more deals for American companies and create greater business-to-business ties between the United States and Indonesia.
