"CastleAsia's Indonesia Country Program (ICP) is extremely useful to me and my colleagues for keeping us up-to-date on developments in Indonesia. The monthly luncheon briefings and regular round table breakfasts provide invaluable opportunity to obtain current economic and socio-political information on a face-to-face, real time basis. This, coupled with frequent printed material, is not only helpful for business planning purposes, but it is also useful in keeping our headquarters informed on relevant matters of interest. In addition, ICP provides good networking opportunities that are unmatched in Indonesia."

"The ICP Breakfast Program provides me with an excellent informal and off-the-record opportunity to exchange information with my peers.  At the same time, the regular flow of press clippings, economic updates and emails keeps me up to date with current events and assists me in addressing the questions of offshore parties. Finally, membership has yielded numerous opportunities for new business."

"No one person would dare claim to be an Indonesian expert no matter how long they have been here but if there is one person who may do so then it is James Castle. Jim is a constant wealth of insight and intelligence which is critical to managing business here in Indonesia. The Indonesia Country Program from CastleAsia delivers on many fronts be it research, networking, political insight, and above all it is great value."

"What I like most in the Indonesia Country Program is that it gives a very good regular overview of the evolution of our environment under a business angle. This is what differentiate CastleAsia approach from other organisations and why I find that most useful for my work."

"ICP is packed with all the most pertinent business information, listed in a succint, clear, concise format.  A valuable tool for the busy executive, and a "must read" to stay ahead.

"I would say that besides providing great networking opportunities, the program also keeps us informed on recent political and economical movements with reasonable depth, through direct insights from parties involved (e.g. government officials and politicians), not just from the media."

"I view our membership in ICP as money well spent, which for  a Dutch company is saying a lot. I specially enjoy the small & informal CEO breakfasts, wherein the discussions tend to be open and candid, providing valuable information on what's happening in the ground, well before it shows up in the official data. I also look forward to the twice yearly forecasts, one of the few that, tries to analyze the correlation between political/policy developments and economic performance."

"I find ICP's insight and experience invaluable in assisting the development of Standard Chartered Banks franchise in Indonesia. High quality written analyses are complemented by excellent informal meetings."

"I've been a member of the Indonesia Country Program for many years and find it helpful to our business in a number of ways.  Whether it's the regular reports, breakfast dialogues, presentations, or assistance with special requests, the ICP helps us to plan ahead more knowledgeably and to better explain Indonesia to our regional and corporate headquarters."

"Indonesia benefits from the serious analysis of private sector activities and opportunities that CastleAsia provides."
