These industries generate chunky foreign earnings. By 2030 Indonesia will be the world’s fourth-largest producer of the “green commodities” used in batteries and grids. Indonesia’s advantage lies in commodities, some of which, such as nickel, are in global demand owing to the energy transition. Thanks to its ability to crank out half a million new engineers a year, in 2021 India accounted for 15% of global it services spending. In India the leading export sector is technology services. Start with export successes, a reflection of comparative advantage. To illuminate this we considered four areas in each country: the leading export sector industrial policy their geopolitical stance and their strategy for pleasing voters. Indonesia’s gross national income per person is $4,180 and India’s is about half that: both are “lower middle-income” economies. Yet there is still a huge amount of economic catch-up to exploit. India is adding 10,000km of highway each year. Indonesia has built 18 ports, 21 airports and 1,700km of toll roads since Jokowi took office. The state is small by rich-world standards: public spending comes to just 30% of gdp in India and 18% in Indonesia.īoth countries are in the midst of ambitious infrastructure build-outs. Both are largely informal: 90% of India’s workers and 60% of Indonesia’s toil in the grey economy. Both are fairly open, with trade at around 40% of gdp and annual inflows of foreign direct investment worth some 1.5% of gdp. Services, not manufacturing, dominate output (see chart). They run vast (India has 1.4bn people and Indonesia 280m) and relatively young countries with myriad ethnicities and languages.īoth places have grown quickly: India’s gdp has expanded by 71% over the past decade, and Indonesia’s by 52%. Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, and Joko Widodo (widely known as Jokowi), Indonesia’s president, cut their teeth in local politics and have a reputation for getting things done. Both are led by charismatic leaders first elected in 2014, and both will hold elections next year. Factories use more robots.Īt first glance, India and Indonesia have much in common. Protectionism challenges export-led growth. Many countries are rowdy democracies, not authoritarian states (as South Korea and Taiwan were when they industrialised). But today this scheme no longer works well. In China it saw 800m people escape poverty. Move workers from fields to more productive manufacturing jobs in cities, have them make goods for export, and watch the rapid formalisation of the economy. The book's graphic format means complex ideas can be comprehensive and accessible.For decades developing countries have followed a trusted formula for growing wealthier.
