Governance Indicators
Governance Profile: Indonesia
World Bank governance: rule of law 37th percentile, corruption control 25th percentile, political stability 18th percentile.
Indonesia's strongest governance dimension is Government Effectiveness at 58/100, placing it in the upper half globally. This points to comparatively high-quality public services and credible policy implementation.
The weakest dimension is Political Stability at 18/100. Political instability concerns may affect the overall security environment and long-term predictability.
A notable 40-point gap between Government Effectiveness and Political Stability reveals uneven governance. Some institutions function well while others lag significantly. Travelers should be aware that the quality of government services and protections may vary depending on the context.
Weak governance indicators for Indonesia mean travelers should exercise heightened caution. Government services may be limited or unreliable, corruption can affect interactions with officials, and legal protections may not function as expected. Thorough preparation and situational awareness are essential.
The U.S. State Department currently rates Indonesia as Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution). This aligns with a governance profile that, while not without challenges, provides a baseline of institutional functioning.
