Dear colleague,

As the government’s role in the market has changed, opportunities to enter the country have increased and become less restrictive. Forecast to become the world’s seventh largest economy by 2030, the Indonesia of today shows promise. With an estimated future growth rate of 6% year-on-year, companies that are able to establish a strong presence in the country will benefit.

In terms of petrochemical industry, it has been witnessed a consistently rise in market demand for petrochemical products as well as a rapid growth in capacity and import dependency, especially focused on the creation of polymers and related to plastic production.

However, the industry faces several challenges to future development: infrastructure gaps and limited ability to transport products, technology innovation for chemicals, labour and land issues, ambiguous import laws and investment barriers.

Indonesia Refining & Petrochemical Summit 2014 (IRPS 2014) analyses many of the trends in Indonesian domestic and external markets and the impact of these trends on investment decisions and the way producers manage risk.

In a nutshell, we are confident that IRPS 2014 is the ONLY event where you can take away a wide range of best practices and exchange the fresh ideas from many eminent industry practitioners over the 2-day course.

We look forward to meeting you in Jakarta this October!
IRPS Organizing Committee
