View PricingApple's $1 Billion Investment in Indonesia Amid Policy Challenges
Apple Inc. is set to inject $1 billion into Indonesia following discussions with President Prabowo Subianto's government, aiming to overturn a ban on iPhone 16 sales. The investment commitment comes in response to Indonesia's domestic content requirements, as reported by Bloomberg. This move highlights the Southeast Asian country's strategy to bolster foreign investment, though analysts warn it may backfire amid regional competition.
Indonesia has employed protectionist measures to compel tech giants like Apple to construct manufacturing facilities. Specifically, the domestic content requirements, which demand higher local production, forced Apple to boost its investment proposal from an initial $10 million to the current $1 billion. One of Apple's suppliers will establish a plant for producing AirTags in Batam, Indonesia, which is expected to create approximately 1,000 new jobs.
Challenges and Opportunities for Foreign Investors
Despite the potential positive impact of such investments, experts caution against Indonesia's approach. According to David Sumual, chief economist at PT Bank Central Asia, the stringent policies might deter foreign direct investment (FDI) by hiking costs and adding regulatory layers. The complications arise from the domestic suppliers' limitations in meeting global standards, especially within industries that depend heavily on advanced technology.
While Indonesia's policies aim to stimulate a manufacturing revival to support economic growth targets, the country faces significant hurdles. Recent closures of textile and footwear factories, leading to job losses, underline these challenges. The country aspires to reach high-income economy status by 2045, but fabricating necessary infrastructure to support high-tech industries remains a key hurdle.
Comparative Insights and Regional Dynamics
Meanwhile, Indonesia's neighboring countries, such as Vietnam and India, are actively attracting relocating businesses from China due to offering more favorable conditions including tax incentives and streamlined approvals. This trend is evidenced by Apple's reported investment of $15 billion in Vietnam, despite its smaller domestic market. Vietnam's proactive measures, such as facilitating transportation for workers and addressing labor disputes, illustrate their commitment to creating an investor-friendly environment.
The trade-off for investors between entering regulated markets like Indonesia versus more lenient ones like Vietnam could influence future decisions, as suggested by Jia Hui Tee from the Hinrich Foundation. As global companies weigh these dynamics, Indonesia could risk missing out on significant investment inflows unless it adapts its policies to align with regional practices.
