Analysis: Indonesia to Offer Tax Perks to Companies Investing in Reforestation of Its New Capital City
As the Indonesian government embarks on a massive push to reforest the area around the country’s new capital city in Borneo, it is turning to the private sector in hopes that investors will help supply the labor and capital needed for the program.
