I have mentioned last nite in my twitter, that I would write about this. A friend of mine, an economic analyst from Canada, said to me several months ago that Indonesia will soon put at least 12 companies in Forbes’ World’s 1000 largest. In 2009, PT Telkom Indonesia ranked #657, Bank Central Asia at #930, Bank Rakyat Indonesia at #988, Bank Mandiri at #1004.

Things will change, as Indonesian companies book more and more profit and they’ve expanded their investment and operation by double, which will lead them to a bigger market capitalization.

I am listing out Indonesia’s 1 largest companies per sector, for your kind pleasure:

Automotive & Transport: Astra
Banking: Bank Mandiri
Food: PT. Indofood Sukses Makmur
Wood & Paper Products: Asia Pulp
Chemicals: Tri Polyta Indonesia Tbk
Construction: PT Semen Gresik
Cosmetics: Martha Tilaar Group
Energy: Pertamina
Metals & Mining: Aneka Tambang PT
Cleaning Services: Calmic Indonesia
Telecommunications Services: PT. Telkom Indonesia
Transportation Services: Garuda Indonesia
Tobacco: PT. Gudang Garam

You might have more accurate info. Please share :)
Enjoy!
