Tuesday January 22, 2013 6:48 am PST by Eric Slivka

NZweek reports (via The Next Web) that government officials in Indonesia have revealed that Apple has submitted an application outlining plans to relaunch its online store in the country, to be followed by the opening of its first Indonesian retail store in Jakarta.Chatib Basri, BKPM chairman, said BKPM has given official permission to Apple relating to its plan to open online store in Indonesia. We have approved their (Apple) application, he said here on Tuesday.

Apple online store in Indonesia is expected to give shorter supply chain and distribution of its products.

Azhar Lubis, deputy chairman of BKPM said Apple will open its store in Indonesia s capital city, Jakarta. The investment worth around 2 million to 3 million U.S. dollars, he said.The Next Web notes that Apple previously operated an online store for Indonesia but in early 2011 due to issues with shipping products from the store's central hub in Singapore. The store currently remains online only to provide pricing information and connect customers to resellers.

Apple has been focused on expanding its international retail store presence, and the company late last year that it is making plans for its first stores in Brazil and Turkey. Apple has also been said to be looking at .

That's a lot of rupees.

Rupiah*

1 British Pound Sterling = 15264.10 Indonesian Rupiah

1 US Dollar equals = 9620.00 Indonesian Rupiah

Damn, I wonder if they have one penny sweets like we used to. They'd be 152 times better value! :D

I suggest you go visit those areas of the world, if Simpsons has really been your best source of information about Asia, your perspective would be terrible. Indonesia is extremely different from India.

How much!?

Beat me to it!

Thank you for the comparison! They actually used to have 25 rupia sweets back when I lived there. A 20 minute taxi ride in a decent taxi costs around 25 "thou" (thousand Rupiah), so that's around $2.50. Those were good days!

Anyway, Apple is going to clean up in Indo. The upper class is extremely affluent there, so I'd expect a big line for quite a few days of first opening.

It will be interesting to see what will happen with all those premium retailers. Jakarta has too many Apple retailers. You can literally find one in every shopping mall. Most shopping malls have at least 2-3 premium retailers.
