Major challenges:
As of 2011 labor militancy was increasing in Indonesia with a major strike at the Grasberg mine and numerous strikes elsewhere.
Economic disparity and the flow of natural resource profits to Jakarta has led to discontent and even contributed to separatist movements in areas such as Aceh and Irian Jaya.

Inflation has long been another problem in Indonesia. As of 2010, the inflation rate was approximately 7%, when its economic growth was 6%.

But Indonesia shows the same macro-economic characteristics driving China’s current success: Stable political situation, massive investments in country development, large, young and educated workforce and an ever improving business environment.
