Elections May Hamper RI's Investment Sector

Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The 2014 general elections may hamper the investment sector in Indonesia, economist and secretary of the National Economic Committee Aviliani said here on Sunday.

"Investors may hesitate to invest due to concern over a possible political turmoil. They tend to wait for the results of election first with regard to who will be elected a new president," she said. 


Aviliani added the tendency of investors' "wait-and-see" attitude is likely to happen as Indonesia will have a new president after President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono finishes his second term next year. (*/M038)
