This book gives insight on the dynamics and route of economic policies that have been taken and implemented since the point of institutional reforms in 1998 that were triggered from the context of the financial crisis in 1997/1998. The condition brought a different paradigm on the landscape of economic and development policies, especially in the case of the monetary and financial structure, the international trade sector, the manufacturing sector, the taxes administration policy and the evolved context of decentralization and development of public sector policies in general.

Given state of current economic development, this book offers suggestions to address economic issues that require improvements. This book is unique as: 1) it is about Indonesia, a country mostly affected by 1997/1998 financial crisis, which also lead to a change in regime; 2) it covers a broad range of thematic topics on sectors development and institutional changes from major policies that have been taken; and 3) it posits both existing and future challenges on monetary and financial sectors, trade, manufacturing and competitiveness, as well as on development of decentralization policies.

Reviews for Macroeconomic Policies in Indonesia: Indonesia economy since the Asian financial crisis of 1997

Macroeconomic Policies in Indonesia fills a tremendous gap in the literature of Indonesian studies. Although much has been written about Indonesia's economic miracle during the three decades of President Suharto's New Order, little has been written about macroeconomic policies in post-Suharto democratic, decentralized Indonesia. This book provides an insightful overview of monetary and fiscal policies in Indonesia since the 1997 Asian financial crisis, as well as a perceptive examination of Indonesia's financial and capital markets policies in this reformasi era. Macroeconomic Policies in Indonesia is an invaluable book for scholars of Indonesia's economic policies since the fall of Suharto. - Jay K. Rosengard, Faculty Chair, Harvard Kennedy School Indonesia Program
