Strategic Country Update - Indonesia

Wednesday 26 July - Online

11:30am to 12:45pm AEST


In May, the AFGC launched the Strategic Country Update webinar series, featuring in-depth briefings on selected export markets. The series assists exporters make informed business decisions by providing important market updates, including consumer trends, regulations and opportunities.

Indonesia is one the fastest-growing economies in the Indo-Pacific and is projected to be the world's fifth-largest economy by 2030. Rising demand by Indonesian consumers for healthy, safe, high-quality products presents opportunities for Australian exporters, especially given the reduction in tariffs from the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IACEPA).

Since 2020, Indonesia has announced a series of new regulations that will impact exports, with the new Halal Product Assurance requirements being the most significant and immediate.

The webinar will provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from Government officials, regulatory experts, and industry analysts:

  • Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT): Jonathan Gilbert, Director, Indonesia Economic and Trade Section, Indonesia Branch | Southeast Asia Maritime Division
