Alam Sutera Realty

One of the most memorable experiences of my early years in the Indonesian stock market was when I watched how property stocks, which previously devastated by the global crisis in 2008, gained so much in the next few years, and the rise is in line with the excellent financial performance of property developers at the time, where they had great return on equity on the level 20 – 30%, thanks to the high rate of economic growth in Indonesia (had reached 6.9% in 2011) that boosted the prices of property as many capital owners invest their funds in the property. At those years, a property developer could purchase land at a bargain price, develop it into an elite residential area, and later sell it at exorbitant prices. The areas on the outskirts of Jakarta such as Serpong, Cikarang, Cibubur, developed rapidly during this period.
