Blue-chip
Internet company Google has expressed an interest in investing in Indonesia,
and is discussing its terms with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
BKPM chief
Gita Wirjawan said the board had been communicating intensively with Google.
"Google
is considering investing in Indonesia by establishing PT Google
Indonesia," Gita said Wednesday.
He added
that Google had presented BKPM with two terms and conditions for investment.
First, that it does not have to build a data center in Indonesia, and second
that Google must be allowed to earn an income through online advertising.
Both terms
have been forwarded and discussed with the Communication and Information
Technology Ministry, Gita said.
"If
there is no wish to invest, we are ready to be reactive by readying fiscal and
non-fiscal barriers that do not rub against international rules," he said.
