INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Foreign investment flows drive growth in the Indonesian real estate sector.
Bali’s luxury real estate market has been an important recipient of investment over recent years, as booming tourist numbers have supported property developments. On the back of strong international visitor arrivals, the island has seen its property prices increase at unprecedented rates in recent years, with villas priced at around $1100 to $2300 per sq meter in 2019. Bali’s supply of villas grew by 21% in 2022, during which time the average asking price increased by 39%, despite a 69% decrease in the absorption rate.
​
Given the influx of foreign arrivals, around 80% of Bali’s economy is dependent on tourism. At the height of property investment, some popular areas such as upscale beach resort area Seminyak, saw prices increase by 10 times in only a few years. Estimates from the Global Property Guide suggest that a four-bedroom villa built on freehold land in nearby Berawa Beach in 2019 for $500,000 was worth $1.8m in 2023.
OVERVIEW
Economy
As far as foreign investors are concerned, Indonesia is moving from red tape to a red carpet. The Indonesia Government has introduced significant reforms that make investment in Indonesia more attractive and simpler. The Omnibus Law and the subsequent 49 implementing regulations certainly provide a more conducive environment for foreign direct investment. It also provides a significant momentum in the post covid-19 economic recovery for investors to start planning their investment planning. Further efficiencies and incentives can be expected. Supported by dynamic and vibrant young demography, embracing digitalization with a growing number of innovative starts up and tech unicorns, will make Indonesia continue to grow and emerge faster and stronger in the post covid-19 situation.
​
With sustained political stability, vast resources and strategic location in the world’s fastest growing economies at the center of the Asian Century, Indonesia is indeed ready to welcome investors and businesses.
