The Indonesian economy is booming and has ambitious targets to becoming one of the 10 largest economies in 2025. The developments in the country indicate growth and point toward significant increase in the value of land, property and other assets.
If getting rich and comfortable can be bought, investing into Indonesian real estate is probably the best choice because you can gain rewarding benefits in the long-run.
Foreign investors are attracted to Indonesia due to the massive investment opportunities available in the country and they like to invest in luxury real estates. As a result, the luxury properties prices in Indonesia have sky-rocketed and become one of the world’s hottest market for properties.

Hitting the Indonesian Job Market
Investments demand considerable amount of money and can potentially affect one’s financial liquidity. This adds further pressure to an individual. Hence, hitting the Indonesian job market can come in handy.
The top paying jobs in Indonesia are usually related to construction, architecture, business management, and information technology. If you are educated and skillful, finding high income jobs will be relatively easier. However despite certain claim of meritocracy in the country, a financially sound family background and political affiliation could still greatly aid job hiring.
Moreover, a lot of companies around the world are expanding business operations to Indonesia and the job market is lucrative enough for locals and foreigners alike. In fact, foreign expats are generally paid a higher wage than the locals, making Indonesia one of the world best economies for expats. The currency difference supports foreigners to make a fortune in Indonesia with the significantly low costs of living.
