Managing for Development Results at ADB

Asian Development Bank (ADB) assessments have identified several constraints on Indonesia's development, which the country strategy and program aims to help the Government address. Absence of a stable and consistent legal and regulatory environment, together with proliferating local taxes and regulations, are two factors impeding investment. Infrastructure provision is lower than in many other countries in the region. Capital markets and nonbank financial institutions are relatively small. Decentralization has left many uncertainties in the relations among levels of government, and weak local capacities. Low development spending is accompanied by weak public sector management. Development spending needs to be increased to attain higher economic growth with job creation, reduce poverty, and accelerate the achievement of the MDGs.
