Book excerpt: This book is a world-class report by the Asian Competitiveness Institute (ACI), updated annually to analyse Indonesia's competitiveness at both the 33 provincial levels and six regional groupings based on the central government's Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development (MP3EI). With 104 indicators covering four environments, the study's unique methodology incorporates comparative strengths and weaknesses as well as applies Geweke causality analysis to a subset of indicators. Apart from scores and rankings, what-if policy simulations offer various provinces practical prescriptions to improve overall competitiveness to accelerate economic growth and development in a balanced, fair and sustainable way. Such qualitative and quantitative analyses in collaboration with various stakeholders generates an exciting pathway for Indonesia to attain its rightful place in both the Asian region and global contexts.

Having a thorough knowledge of the potentials and challenges that the provinces face would provide deeper understanding of what is needed to be done. The ACI's what-if competitiveness simulation provides insights on how each province can improve their competitiveness in different ways." Prof. Kuntoro Mangkusubroto Head of President's Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight (UKP4) 2009–2014 "This competitiveness research for Indonesia's provinces adds strategic value to improve the quality of our democracy. It is to link the economic benefits and competitiveness to political accountability, which is critical to both any elected officials and more importantly, to constituents and voters over what have been achieved during certain period of time. The notion of competitiveness becomes even more relevant, not only to drive economic growth per se but also to achieve sustainable economic development." Mahendra Siregar, MA Chairman of Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) 2013–2014
