Foreign Direct Investment

It is very common for Foreign Investors to invest in Indonesia's existing Companies aside from establishing their own in Indonesia. Foreign Investors establishing Representative Offices to perform research, supervise, and coordinate the business of their Parent Company overseas are also familiar to be found in Indonesia.
