Indonesia is entering a transformative phase under new leadership, with businesses showing cautious optimism. While hiring remains measured, promising developments are emerging across key sectors - creating new opportunities for professionals seeking stability, growth, or even the highest paying job in a competitive market.
Industrial manufacturing continues to be a major economic driver, supported by growth in data centres and dynamic expansion in healthcare infrastructure beyond Jakarta.
The retail sector is shifting as Asian and local brands secure venture capital for growth, while the FMCG mid-market adapts to evolving consumer preferences.
Sectors such as infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing are expected to lead job creation and economic expansion. Opportunities for foreign businesses are improving, aided by anticipated policy reforms.
“Salaries are largely stable in Indonesia, with annual increases typically ranging from 5% to 8%. However, financial services are seeing aggressive counter-offers to retain talent, underscoring rising competition for skilled professionals” said Monico Lim, President Director at Michael Page Indonesia.
Professionals with strong communication, leadership, and specialised skills will be best positioned for success in the Indonesian market.
While many pursue generalist leadership paths, specialist roles offer competitive rewards and deeper expertise.
Indonesia’s growing global engagement and potential for streamlined foreign investment processes enhance its outlook for sustained growth.
