  • Acquisition of financial institutions in Indonesia

    In spite of the global crisis, Indonesia is still full of potential for foreign investors. The country seems to have been largely buffered from many of the worst impacts occurring in other economies. This is perhaps because, after the collapse of the banking system during the Asian crisis in the wake of 1997, the Indonesian financial sector was forced clean up its act, developing stronger fiscal resilience in the process. Banks were recapitalised and restructured by the Government and once the financial soundness of the banks was stabilised, many were sold to foreign institutions. The financial sector is now relatively healthy and provides a stable foundation for the Indonesian economy. There remains an attractive market for the acquisition of banks, insurance companies and securities companies.
