(IN-PERSON) Services Committee Meeting January 2024

Jan 17, 2024 / 08:00 - 09:30

Dear Friends and Colleagues!

As promised, and also as much as possible in line with our regular Services Breakfast schedule, allow me to ask that you, please, enter Wednesday, January 17, 2024, from 08:00 AM–09:30 AM, for our next “around the table” exchange of information, expectations and concerns, into your calendars.

I should, probably, have started this message with my best wishes for a great holiday season, as well as a successful 2024, but am hoping that this invitation will not end up buried under tons of New Year wishes, but rather get the kind of business attention that allows us to continue with our AmCham Indonesia Services Committee sessions, which provide one of the most realistic yardsticks when it comes to judging the local business environment which all of us are committed to.

For regular participants in the services breakfast, there should be no surprise as far as the location of our next gathering is concerned, for potential newcomers, because of AmCham security regulations, let me assure you that, after you register your attendance, you will be provided with the address, and this with sufficient time to prepare for a comfortable arrival.

Just to give potentially interested newcomers to the breakfast an idea of what we do, we tend to sit around a table big enough to accommodate thirty plus representatives, from more than twenty different business sectors, casually exchanging information over a nice breakfast and with additional opportunities to establish valuable, personal contacts, going forward.

We normally have input from sectors like banking, insurance, security, real estate, the legal sector, tax consultants, information technology, the health sector, education, forwarding companies, retail and wholesale, manufacturers, energy providers, a whole string of consultants, as well as the US Embassy, with an arrangement to, verbally, provide the latest updates over the breakfast, but afterwards, also in the form of a short, written summary so the minutes of the

Finally, we take the temperature of the business environment, which will be especially of interest considering the coming elections, and potentially good or bad expectations for the coming year.

I look forward to seeing as many of you on the 17th of January as possible, and finally close with my “VERY BEST WISHES FOR THE COMING HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR”!

All the very best,

Peter Meyer
