A Foreign Investment Company, or PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing), is a business entity established under Indonesian law that allows for foreign investment. PMAs are a key part of Indonesia’s strategy to attract foreign capital, technology, and expertise.
They offer various benefits, including the ability to conduct full business operations in Indonesia, ownership of property, and potential tax advantages. PMAs are subject to certain regulations but provide significant opportunities for international investors looking to enter the Indonesian market, particularly in Bali’s thriving economic landscape.
