However, some obstacles may also hinder the economic development in Indonesia.Lack of infrastructures, lack of connectivity, and lack of skilled human capital are some examples of factors that may thwart the successful of Indonesia’s economy. In order to seize this promising opportunity, in 2011 the Indonesian government launched the Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia Economic Development 2011-2025.

This masterplan aims to exploit the benefit of agglomeration economy, to support regional strength, and to reduce the imbalances in Indonesia’s economic development.
