Measured by loan approvals, Indonesia is ADB's largest client, and its second largest recipient of TA support.

The report was launched on 10 August 2010 in Jakarta.
"This report will be of significant contribution to the policymakers' attempts to set the conditions right in the medium term for achieving the vision of a developed, just and prosperous Indonesia," said Lukita Dinarsyah Tuwo, Vice Minister of Bappenas.
