infrastructure projects in Indonesia

The government is putting US$34 billion of infrastructure projects up for grabs by the private sector in 2009-2010, to be built between 2010 and 2012 under public-private partnership schemes 

In a bid to expedite the construction of much-needed business infrastructure and stimulate the economy. There are 87 projects in 18 provinces in western Indonesia available to private investors 

The government has established the Public-Private Partnerships Center (PKPS) to facilitate cooperation between public and private sectors for infrastructure projects. 

Private investors were expected to mobilize finance of up to Rp 320 trillion ($27.59 billion) towards infrastructure projects between 2009 and 2011. Indonesia needs Rp 1,429 trillion for construction of infrastructure projects between 2010 and 2014 to help it achieve an economic growth rate of at least 5 percent annually. Of that amount, the government can only provide 31 percent, or Rp 451 trillion, with the rest coming from public-private partnerships.
