JAKARTA (Reuters) - The front-runner to become Indonesia's new president, Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, has told investors that he will pursue market-friendly policies and make bureaucratic reform and infrastructure-building his priorities.

Jokowi presented a pro-reform platform for Southeast Asia's largest economy as investment cools and the country faces hefty budget and current account deficits.
