Indonesia To Remove Import Duties On Some Capital Goods Imports



JAKARTA -(Dow Jones)- The Indonesian government will remove duties on imports of capital goods related to seven service industries to boost investment in the country, the Finance Ministry said Thursday.

The seven service industries concerned are tourism, transportation, public health, telecommunications, mining, construction, and seaport.

The ministry said the government will reevaluate the policy two years after it's introduced on Dec. 16.

The government has been giving tax incentives to a handful of companies here since last year as part of the wider stimulus package to help the economy weather the impact of the global slowdown.
