Page "Economy of Indonesia" Paragraph 15

As of 28 June 2010, the Indonesia Stock Exchange had 341 listed companies with a combined market capitalization of $ 269. 9 billion.

As at November 2010, two thirds of the market capitalization was in the form of foreign funds and only around 1 % of the Indonesian population have stock investments.

Efforts are further being made to improve the business and investment environment.

Within the World Bank's Doing Business Survey, Indonesia rose to 122 out of 178 countries in 2010, from 129 in the previous year.

Despite these efforts, the rank is still below regional peers and an unfavourable investment climate persists.

For example, potential foreign investors and their executive staff cannot maintain own bank accounts in Indonesia, unless they are tax-paying local residents ( paying tax in Indonesia for their worldwide income ).
