General forecasts are that the Indonesian economy will continue to struggle in 2014. In addition, 2014 will not be an easy year for Indonesian industries due to the general election consuming the attention of most public policy makers and regulators.[1] Moreover, the ongoing current deficit account due to the high cost of oil imports will also burden national industries.[2] As a consequence, the World Bank is predicting that Indonesia’s industrial growth in 2014 will slightly decrease to 4.1% from 4.3% in 2013.[3]
