Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has offered incentives to Toyota in an attempt to lure the Japanese automotive giant to relocate its regional manufacturing hub from Thailand to Indonesia.“We will support Toyota. But bring your main manufacturing activities from Thailand to Indonesia,” he said on Tuesday while visiting the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2026 in Tangerang, Banten, as quoted by Kompas.com.
Indonesia, as Southeast Asia’s largest car market, was well-positioned to become Toyota’s main production base in the region, Purbaya noted.
