This publication provides a snapshot of the overall public–private partnership (PPP) landscape in Indonesia. It includes more than 500 qualitative and quantitative indicators to profile the national PPP environment, the sector-specific PPP landscape (for eight identified infrastructure sectors), and the PPP landscape for local government projects. This downloadable guide also captures the critical macroeconomic and infrastructure sector indicators (including the Ease of Doing Business scores) from globally accepted sources. Through Presidential Regulation 38/2015, the cornerstone of the country’s robust PPP enabling framework, Indonesia expects PPPs to continue playing a pivotal role to achieve its infrastructure investment target of $429 billion for 2020–2024 and mobilize 59% of this value from the private sector.
