Richard Borsuk, author, researcher, and avid Indonesia watcher, joins Kopi Time to discuss his favourite country. We talk about the current economic and investment environment, market risks, and the need for stability and credibility. Richard’s seminal book on the Salim Group and Suharto’s Indonesia has deep insights and relevance for the current juncture. From the role of large personalities in charting the nation’s course to the importance of institution building, we touch on Indonesia’s rich tapestry of diversity and multiple narratives. Richard’s insights are invaluable in understanding SE Asia’s most populous nation.

Notes:  During the conversation, the guest describes the Habibie administration as the "Tall Order." He meant the Prabowo administration.
