JAKARTA,Indonesia,Nov.20,2020 -- Over the past year,Knight Frank Indonesia has observed that there is an increasing trend in the dynamics of foreign investments searching for sites in Indonesia.

Willson Kalip,Country Head of Knight Frank Indonesia said,"Despite the pandemic crisis since early 2020,the Indonesian government remains strongly committed to sustain growth by focusing on new infrastructure,human capital development and structural reforms to attract investment and fiscal support. Basically,the real demand of property sector is derived from the economic generator in the industrial sector,particularly manufacturing. As a result,it should become the key engine of economic growth recovery moving forward."
This point is further reiterated by Andrew R. Tuah from Tuah & Suparto Advocates and Solicitors,"Members of the business community,be it local or foreign,can appreciate the passing of the Omnibus Law to allow Indonesia score higher in the considerations of foreign investors as an investment destination. More importantly for the real estate sector,the digitisation components of the Omnibus Law should ease the bureaucracy into a more efficient and competitively comparable to international standards."
