Financial. Rare-earth. Economy of Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest economy in Southeast Asia and is one of the emerging market economies of the world.
The country is also a member of G-20 major economies and classified as a newly industrialized country.[14] It has a market economy in which the government plays a significant role through ownership of state-owned enterprises (the central government owns 141 enterprises) and the administration of prices of a range of basic goods including fuel, rice, and electricity. In the aftermath of the financial and economic crisis that began in mid-1997 the government took custody of a significant portion of private sector assets through acquisition of nonperforming bank loans and corporate assets through the debt restructuring process. Since 1999 the economy has recovered and growth has accelerated to over 4%-6% in recent years.[15] History[edit] In the 1960s, the economy deteriorated drastically as a result of political instability.
