Indonesia's tourism figures are largely disappointing, given its picturesque beaches and spectacular landscapes. Much of this can be put down to the country's poor infrastructure, something the government is looking to address in the hope of doubling the number of holidaymakers coming to the country by 2020. Natasha Turak reports.

Citizenship by investment programmes – whereby a passport is given to an individual in exchange for a large investment in the country – are being increasingly used by many countries, particularly those of the Caribbean. However, what had largely been viewed as a win-win situation has recently been dogged by security concerns, as Natasha Turak discovers.

Its categorisation as a 'least developed country' says much about Lesotho's current economic condition, but the country's deputy prime minister, Mothetjoa Metsing, tells Natasha Turak how the government is investing in its people and improving its business climate to attract more FDI and boost its economic outlook. 

Linda Yang of law firm Yingke International explains the thinking behind Chinese investor strategies and why mature markets further afield are beginning to attract a greater share of the country’s investment capital.

The urgent need for jobs in landlocked Lesotho has led the government to pursue a strategy of investing in training, education and labour-intensive industries, while addressing issues such as corruption and the ease of doing business in the country.

AJS Transport and Logistics built its business during Angola’s 27-year civil war, during which time it learned the value of investment in communities and personnel, as CEO Luis Silva explains to Natasha Turak.
