"TJP is an Indonesian company and all the members of management are Indonesian and have access to all publications in bahasa, but why did we join ICP? The answer is simple: it helps us eliminate the garbage information and select what is relevant to the industry! Being a 100% Indonesian company, we still believe that the ICP products are indispensable for corporate planning.”
"Jim Castle's analysis of the economic and political scene in Indonesia is always shrewd, well-informed and punchy. Attending his briefings and events is a great way for us to test the judgements in our own diplomatic reporting and to hone our own analysis. Usually his is spot on."
"Joining Castle Asia’s ICP has proven to be a very good decision : it provides valuable insights and information about Indonesia’s political and economic situation, trends and opportunities. I would highly recommend it to any company operating in Indonesia."
"Aside from being very enjoyable the programme has significant value in understanding the many challenges of operating as a foreign entity in Indonesia."
"Westpac has been a long time member of Castle Asia. The ICP breakfast meetings are an excellent opportunity to meet with many relevant players in the market. These contacts have proven to be of great value in doing business in Indonesia. Also the regular market updates we receive from Castle Asia are critical to understand the political and economic developments. It is hard to see how to do business in Indonesia successfully without the network and information that Castle Asia provides."
"Castle Asia's Country Program provides the framework for invaluable networking and information sharing - the weekly breakfasts are particularly useful in 'taking the pulse' of the business community. Jim's regular business updates and political analyses also assist me in staying in tune with the sometimes volatile socio-political environment."
