Key Insights
  • The Indonesian economy is estimated by World Economics to be 42% larger than official data suggests. On present trends, Indonesia may overtake Russia and Germany to become the world's fifth biggest economy within the next decade.
  • Favourable indicators include a 10-year record of rapid growth based on believable data; growth in GDP per capita significantly faster than other Emerging Markets; low debt compared with other developing countries; low inequality and a large and young population.
  • Negative indicators include poor environmental factors, and high levels of corruption.

The three components are weighted to form the Population Data Quality Index.
