The Country Report: a compass for informed internationalization

In today's increasingly complex and interconnected world, companies aiming to expand beyond national borders need reliable, up-to-date, and integrated tools to navigate between risks and opportunities.
This need has given rise to the Country Report, a new line of strategic analysis designed to provide a clear and structured initial overview of international markets.

The Country Report is a tool designed to support internationalization decisions through an in-depth analysis of six key dimensions of a country: socio-economic, macroeconomic, trade, financial, environmental, and risk. Each report functions as a true operational economic dossier, created to answer a fundamental question for any business looking abroad: Where to go?

An informed choice: the value of comparison

One of the distinguishing features of the Country Report is the comparative benchmark. By default, the comparison is made with Italy, providing a familiar point of reference for interpreting data and indicators.
However, the system is flexible: upon request, the benchmark can be replaced with other available countries, making the analysis even more tailored to the specificities of each internationalization project.

Indonesia at a glance: a transforming market

Among the first countries analyzed, Indonesia represents a particularly interesting case: one of the most dynamic emerging economies in Southeast Asia, with over 280 million inhabitants, a young demographic structure, a growing economy, and a strategic geographic position.
However, its potential is accompanied by significant challenges related to infrastructural and institutional factors.

The report dedicated to Indonesia is divided into six thematic sections, each supplemented with charts, summary tables, and interpretations, making it easier to read and understand the data:

1. Socio-economic and infrastructural context
   The analysis begins with the country's demographic and social structure, covering institutional quality, political stability, corruption levels, economic freedom, and innovation capacity. These are essential elements for understanding the operational environment in which one would operate.
