What kind of business do you do in Indonesia?   
您在印尼是從事什麼行業?

Vabella Limited (Vabella) is invested in several business areas in Indonesia. Our subsidiary PT Private Sanctuary Indonesia is a FDI vehicle for real estate, architecture and management of tourism projects. We have a strong focus on the Lombok Riviera around Mandalika, where we have been on the ground for 9 years and are pursuing further projects the KEK areas Tanjung Lesung and Morotai, as well as other islands such as Sumbawa and Sumba. Having a strong international team of architects in Jakarta, Lombok and Hong Kong, allows us to plan and fully execute projects to international standards. Our wholly owned subsidiary PT Inia Property Indonesia focuses on future growth opportunities as well as hospitality and entertainment businesses. We are currently preparing to open several venues in Bali with plans to expand these concepts throughout Indonesia. With many years of experience in the marine business Vabella has the distribution rights of Sunseeker Yachts in Indonesia. Over the past 2 years we have been working closely with government agencies to reduce the yacht import tax for Indonesia to reach its full leisure and tourism maritime potential.

Vabella有限公司(Vabella)投資於印尼的幾個商業領域。我們的子公司PT Private Sanctuary Indonesia是一家從事房地產、建築和旅遊專案管理的外商直接投資公司。我們將重點放在了Mandalika周圍的Lombok Riviera。我們在當地已經工作了9年,並正在進行進一步的專案,包括KEK地區的Tanjung Lesung 和Morotai以及其他島嶼,如Sumbawa和Sumba。在雅加達、龍目島和香港擁有強大的建築師團隊,使我們能夠規劃和全面執行專案的國際標準。我們的全資子公司印尼PT Inia Property專注于未來的增長機會以及酒店和娛樂業務。我們目前正準備在巴厘島開設多個場館,計畫將這些理念推廣到整個印尼。憑藉多年的海運業務經驗,Vabella擁有SUNSEEKER遊艇在因地尼西亞的經銷權。過去兩年,我們一直與政府機構密切合作,降低印尼遊艇進口稅,以充分發揮印尼的休閒和旅遊海運潛力。

Why Indonesia?  
為什麼是印尼

Indonesia has a very strong economy and domestic market. Many people merely look at macro demographics, but if you look at micro demographics of the largest cities Indonesia is probably the strongest developing South East Asian nation with a population of approx. 90 Million – more than Germany. Whilst we do a lot of charitable investments in Indonesia to help developing areas, our business focus is geared towards the strong growth in the Indonesian metropolitan middle class.

印尼經濟和國內市場都非常強勁。許多人只看宏觀人口統計,但是如果你看一下最大城市的微觀人口統計,印尼可能是東南亞最強大的發展中國家,人口約9000萬,比德國還多。雖然我們在印尼進行了大量的慈善投資,以説明發展中地區,但我們的業務重點是面向印尼都市中產階級的強勁增長。

What are the challenges?  
都有哪些挑戰?

Challenges are similar to other developing nations, in particular opening to outside investment and technology transfer to support Indonesia on its way to become a developed nation. Under the President Joko Widodo’s administration this has become a lot easier and we hope to see further improvements during this legislative term.

挑戰與其他發展中國家類似,特別是開放外部投資和技術轉讓,以支持印尼成為發達國家。在佐科·維多多總統的領導下,這件事變得容易的多。我們希望在本屆立法任期內看到進一步的改善。

What do you think about Indonesia in 5 years?  
你認為5年內印尼會怎麼樣?

Under the current regime we have a positive outlook for the coming 5 years, in particular with a continuation of the large infrastructure improvements, of which many were completed and continue to be pushed forward in President Joko Widodo’s second term. Planned improvements in the ease of doing business, as well as attracting foreign investments will certainly put Indonesia firmly on the world map for foreign investment in many areas.

在現政權下,我們對未來五年有著積極的展望,特別是繼續進行大規模的基礎設施改善,其中許多已經完成,並在佐科·維多多總統第二任期內繼續得到推進。有計劃地改善經商環境,肯定會使印尼在許多領域牢牢地登上吸引外國投資的世界版圖。
