Indonesia’s robust economic growth of above 6% over the last eight years has done little to improve the welfare of ordinary working class Indonesians, with the gini coefficient (a measure of inequality) rising from 0.33 in 2002 to 0.41 in 2011. In 2012 just over 100,000 people owned assets of US$1 million or more, while 82% of the population had less than US$10,000. 51% of bank deposits totalling US$176.8 billion are held by just 0.13% of customers.
