With 17,000 islands sprawling across one-third of the equatorial line, Indonesia is by far the largest archipelago nation in the planet. What used to be a concentration of wealth in the Island of Java has now spread to the five main Islands of Indonesia - Sumatera, Borneo (Kalimantan), Celebes (Sulawesi), Java (Jawa) and Papua (Irian).
The autonomy liberation has propelled a new era of economic growths in many parts of Indonesia. Balikpapan and Samarinda are now among the richest towns in Indonesia, driven largely by the booming mining industries. Makassar as the gate to the east (of Indonesia), has seen explosion of activities in the construction and infrastructure-based industries. As recent as last year, Batam and Bintan had been marked as Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) with Singapore. There is no doubt that this special economic region will see new spur of growth as more bilateral agreements between Indonesia and Singapore are finalized and penned down.
