Indonesia has announced special privileges and incentives for Nigerian investors aiming to establish businesses in Southeast Asia, including potential tax benefits and preferential treatment for investment-related processes. Iska Huberta Sinural, a senior trade analyst with Indonesia’s trade promotion authorities, made this announcement on Tuesday while addressing Nigerian journalists in Jakarta, prior to the 41st Trade Expo Indonesia.

Sinural emphasized that Nigeria has consistently ranked among the top countries participating in the annual Indonesian trade exhibition, highlighting its importance as a market for Indonesian exporters. She noted Nigeria's ranking as fourth among buyers in 2022, third in 2024, and fourth in 2025.

The Trade Expo, scheduled from October 14 to 18, aims to foster commercial transactions and partnerships across various sectors. Sinural encouraged Nigerian businesses to invest in Indonesia, particularly in manufacturing and agriculture, to secure reliable access to products and reduce shipping difficulties.
