AVCJ is proud to present the inaugural AVCJ Indonesia conference, which will take place on 20 March 2012 at the InterContinental Jakarta Midplaza

Untapped Potential: Indonesian PE Surges Ahead

As valuations continue to rise in China and India, global and regional private equity interest in Southeast Asia, particularly in the consumer sector, has ramped up markedly in the past few years. Indonesia, as both the largest economy and most populous country in Southeast Asia, has entered the foreground of this attention. Hunger for access to Indonesia’s growth story is evidenced by CVC Capital Partners’ $800 million consumer investment at the start of 2010, Northstar Pacific Partners’ third buyout fund which recently closed at $820 million, and by recent plays from industry giants such as the Carlyle Group. Still, in actual dollar terms, PE investment into the country remains relatively small compared to other ASEAN nations and there is much room for growth.

The AVCJ Indonesia conference will offer attendees an introduction to the risks and rewards on offer in this burgeoning and largely untapped market.

Topics at the event will include:

How can PE in Indonesia maximise returns and minimise risk?
The growth and nature of Indonesia’s PE field
Indonesia’s role in SEA portfolio holdings
Accessing the consumer market
Keeping it local: Strategies and challenges in finding local business partner
Finding and funding infrastructure projects
Updates on regulatory matters, including foreign investment limitations and restrictions
Venturing beyond Jakarta for opportunities in the natural resources sector
Economic and growth forecasts for Indonesia and Southeast Asia
