Indonesia is now the forth world's most populous country with almost 240 million people, the population is relatively young: half is aged between 15 and 44 and the economy is powered by high domestic consumption.
Upper and middle-income groups number around 35 million, and lead the way in consumption of international food and drink products. Mid-2009 saw Indonesia-s economic growth rate revised upwards by the Central Bureau of Statistics, to between 4-5 per cent. Growth of up to 6 per cent was achieved for 2010, while in longer term the national development planning board predicts growth of 9 per cent by 2014.Political stability and economic potential are two factors underpinning the current upbeat assessment of the country-s future. Indonesia has been also been commended by the IMF for the robust steps it has taken to successfully manage the impact of the global financial downturn.
