Indonesia mulls developing tax-haven areas to lure investment


JAKARTA: Indonesia is considering options for setting up tax-haven jurisdictions as it tries to lure back billions of dollars through its amnesty programme to fund infrastructure projects and finance the widening budget deficit, Coordinating Maritime Minister Luhut Panjaitan said yesterday.

News of the haven plan follows an announcement by the government on Aug 11 that it would allow repatriated funds to be invested in assets such as gold and property.
