Indonesian economic reform

Outside Indonesia, there's a typical conversation between those who constantly warn that this is a new democracy, facing huge obstacles, that is making genuine progress; versus those who say that unless the country takes some risks with bold steps, other South-East Asian nations will steal a march on them.

Dr Chatib Basri, one of the Indonesian president's key economic advisers, offers an insider's view and a frank appraisal of the economic reforms in Indonesia.


Guests

Dr Chatib Basri
Director of the Institute for Economic & Social research. Faculty of Economics - University of Indonesia.
