Beyond standard market risks, expats face:

  • Currency Risk: Fluctuations between the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and your home currency can significantly impact returns when repatriating funds.

  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in Indonesian regulations regarding foreign investment or taxation.

  • Political/Economic Stability: As an emerging market, Indonesia carries different political and economic risks than many developed nations.

  • Cross-Border Complexity: Managing investments and tax obligations across multiple jurisdictions adds complexity.
