Indonesia's GDP will increase 6.5% in 2012, the World Bank has said, compared with a global average of 2.5%. Indonesia's growth has so far weathered the faltering global economy, helping it regain an investment grade rating for its sovereign debt at Fitch and Moody's. Standard & Poor's rates Indonesia at BB , the highest non- investment grade rating, with a positive outlook.Therefore, it shouldn't come as a surprise that new investors are pushing into Indonesia's private-equity market; newcomers will compete for deals with global firms such as KKR, Carlyle Group, TPG Capital and CVC Capital Partners, plus local firms such as Northstar Pacific Partners, Saratoga Capital, Yawadwipa and Falcon House. Firms are now shifting focus to companies that will benefit from growing consumption in the world's fourth-most populous nation, 240 million people, away from natural resources investments.Indonesia Happy Hour, Tuesday June 19th, will bring Edgar Perez, the distinguished expert who wrote the high-frequency trading global bestseller The Speed Traders, and author of the upcoming Beyond China and India: The Remarkable Indonesia Story to Discover Indonesia, the World's Sexiest Destination for Private Equity Reloaded.
