statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as ``may,'' ``will,''
``expect,'' ``intend,'' ``estimate,'' ``anticipate,'' ``believe,'' ``continue'' or similar terminology. Although
Indonesia believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable at this
time, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.

ENFORCEMENT
The Republic is a sovereign nation. Consequently, it may be difficult for holders of the Bonds to
obtain or enforce judgments against the Republic. The Republic has irrevocably waived in the Indenture, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any immunity, including foreign sovereign immunity, from jurisdiction
to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based on the Bonds or the Indenture,
which may be instituted by the Trustee or a holder of any Bonds in any federal court in the Southern District
of New York, any state court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in any competent
court in Indonesia.
The Republic's waiver of immunity is a limited and specific waiver for the purposes of the Bonds and
the Indenture and under no circumstances should it be interpreted as a general waiver by the Republic or a
waiver with respect to proceedings unrelated to the Bonds or the Indenture. Furthermore, the Republic
specifically does not waive any immunity in respect of:
.
actions brought against the Republic arising out of or based upon U.S. federal or state securities
laws;
.
attachment under Indonesian law;
.
present or future ``premises of the mission'' as defined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic
Relations signed in 1961;
.
consular premises'' as defined in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations signed in 1963;
.
any other property or assets used solely or mainly for governmental or public purposes in the
Republic or elsewhere; and
.
military property or military assets or property or assets of the Republic related thereto.
Because the Republic has not submitted to jurisdiction or waived its sovereign immunity in connection
with any action arising out of or based on United States federal or state securities laws, it will not be
possible to obtain a judgment in the United States against the Republic based on such laws unless a court
were to determine that the Republic is not entitled to sovereign immunity under the Foreign Sovereign
Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to such actions. The Republic may assert immunity to such actions or
with respect to the property or assets described above. Investors may have difficulty making any claims
based upon such securities laws or enforcing judgments against the property or assets described above.
The Republic has appointed the Representative Office of Bank Indonesia in The City of New York as
its authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any action arising out of or based on any bonds
issued under the Indenture, including the Bonds, or the Indenture. Such appointment is irrevocable until all
amounts in respect of the principal and interest, due or to become due on or in respect of all the bonds
issuable under the Indenture, including the Bonds, have been paid by the Republic to the Trustee or unless
and until a successor has been appointed as the Republic's authorized agent and such successor has accepted
such appointment. The Republic has agreed that it will at all times maintain an authorized agent to receive
such service, as provided above. The Representative Office of Bank Indonesia is not the agent for receipt of
service of process for actions under the United States federal or state securities laws.
The Republic is subject to suit in competent courts in Indonesia. However, the ``Law on State
Treasury'' (Law No. 1 of 2004) prohibits the seizure or attachment of property or assets owned by the
Republic. Furthermore, a judgment of a non-Indonesian court will not be enforceable by the courts of
Indonesia, although such a judgment may be admissible as evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim
in an Indonesian court. Re-examination of the underlying claim de novo would be required before the
Indonesian court.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS AND CONVENTIONS
All references in this offering memorandum to (i) ``Indonesia'' or the ``Republic'' are to the Republic
of Indonesia and (ii) the ``government,'' unless indicated otherwise, are to the government of Indonesia.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this offering memorandum to (i) ``tons'' are to metric
tons, each of which is equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.6 pounds, (ii) ``barrels'' are to U.S.
barrels, each of which is equal to 159.0 liters, (iii) ``LNG'' are to liquefied natural gas and (iv) ``LPG'' are to
liquefied petroleum gas. Measures of distance referred to herein are stated in kilometers, each of which is
equal to 1,000 meters or approximately 0.62 miles. Measures of area referred to herein are stated in square
kilometers (``km2''), each of which is equal to approximately 0.39 square miles, or in hectares, each of
which is equal to approximately 2.47 acres.
The Indonesian government's fiscal year commences on January 1 of each year and ends on December
31 of the same year and the Republic has used a calendar year for its fiscal year since 2001. Previously, the
Indonesian government's fiscal year commenced on April 1 of each year and ended on March 31 of the
following year; the last year to follow that convention was the one beginning April 1, 1999 and ending
March 31, 2000. In making the transition to the new convention, one year, referred to in this offering
memorandum as fiscal year 2000 or FY2000, began on April 1, 2000 and ended December 31, 2000.
References in this offering memorandum are to calendar years unless otherwise indicated.
Statistical information included in this offering memorandum is the latest official data publicly
available at the date of this offering memorandum. Financial data provided in this offering memorandum
may be subsequently revised in accordance with Indonesia's ongoing maintenance of its economic data, and
such revised data will not be distributed by Indonesia to any holder of the Bonds.
In 2004, the Republic's central bureau of statistics, Badan Pusat Statistik (``BPS''), adopted the
calendar year 2000 as the new base year (the ``2000 Base Year'') for the calculation of Indonesia's Gross
Domestic Product (``GDP'') in both current and constant market prices. Prior to the adoption of the 2000
Base Year, the base year used to calculate the GDP based on current and constant market prices in recent
years was the calendar year 1993 (the ``1993 Base Year''). During the period of 1993 to 2000, significant
structural changes occurred in the Indonesian economy as the manufacturing and services sector of the
economy increased in relative importance (reflected in higher percentage shares of total GDP) and the
agricultural and oil and natural gas sectors decreased in relative importance (reflected in lower percentage
shares of total GDP) and the Asian financial crisis beginning in 1997 adversely affected the Indonesian
economy, principally the banking and financial sector. See ``Republic of Indonesia -- Economy and Gross
Domestic Product.'' BPS determined that the continued use of the 1993 Base Year in calculating Indonesia's
GDP would understate the size and growth of domestic output and, therefore, incorporated the structural
changes in the Indonesian economy into the composition of the 2000 Base Year data. The 2000 Base Year
also has wider and more accurate coverage than the 1993 Base Year. One result of the adoption of the 2000
Base Year is that economic growth for the Indonesian economy calculated using constant prices based on
the 2000 Base Year is higher than that calculated using constant prices based on the 1993 Base Year. For
2001, 2002 and 2003, the GDP growth rates using the 2000 Base Year were 3.8%, 4.4% and 4.9%, compared
to 3.5%, 3.7% and 4.1%, respectively, using the 1993 Base Year. All GDP data contained in this offering
memorandum are calculated using the 2000 Base Year. Except otherwise indicated, all GDP growth rates (in
aggregate or by sector) are based on constant market prices using the 2000 Base Year.
In May 2004, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (``DGCE'') of the Ministry of Finance
changed the reporting system for exports from a manual reporting system, under which exports were
recorded by hand by DGCE officials, to a computerized reporting system in real time, under which DGCE
officials report exports directly to a central database. This change has resulted in more accurate and
complete reporting of exports and, therefore, an increase in the amount of reported exports. In February
2004, Bank Indonesia changed the classification system of exports from a classification system based upon
a harmonized system of reporting to a classification system based upon the International Standard Industrial
v


Classification system. As a result of this change by Bank Indonesia, the classification of certain export
products has changed. For instance, exports of certain processed agricultural products, such as processed
rubber products, were reclassified from exports of agricultural products to exports of manufactured
products. Therefore, changes in exports by sector from 2000 to 2004 have been revised by Bank Indonesia
(based upon data from the DGCE) from those figures previously published. Unless otherwise stated, all
export data (including export data for periods prior to 2004) presented in this offering memorandum are
calculated under the new classification system of Bank Indonesia. However, since implementation of the
new reporting and classification systems has not been fully completed as of the date of this offering
memorandum, the export figures contained in this offering memorandum may be subsequently revised. See
``Republic of Indonesia -- Foreign Trade and Balance of Payments.''
On March 10, 2005, the informal group of official sector foreign government lenders known as the
``Paris Club'' indicated that it would offer a temporary debt service moratorium to countries in South and
Southeast Asia affected by the earthquake and tsunami which occurred on December 26, 2004. See ``Recent
Developments -- December 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami'' and ``-- Temporary Debt Service Moratorium
Offer from the Paris Club.'' As of the date of this offering memorandum, the Republic has received offers
from some, but not all, of the individual Paris Club members setting forth the specific loans to which the
temporary debt service moratorium will apply and the concessional interest rates which will apply to
deferred payments. Although the Republic has not received formal offers from all of the Paris Club
members, the government intends to accept the general offer from the Paris Club members, as indicated in
the press release of the Paris Club issued on March 10, 2005 and in contacts with individual Paris Club
members. Accordingly, the government has proposed revisions to the its 2005 budget, which was originally
approved by the House in September 2004 (the ``2005 Budget'') to reflect its decision to accept the Paris
Club members' offers. See ``Recent Developments -- Proposed Revisions to the 2005 Budget.'' However,
formal acceptance by the Republic of the Paris Club members' offers will require approval from the House.
The public external debt figures, including anticipated public external debt servicing requirements until
2009, and ratios derived from those figures contained in this offering memorandum were prepared on the
assumption that the Republic will formally accept the Paris Club members' temporary debt service
moratorium offers and reflect assumed concessional interest rates on those deferred debt service payments.
See ``Republic of Indonesia -- Public Debt.''
Unless otherwise indicated, all statistical data and figures for 2004 and all GDP data for 2004 are
estimates based upon preliminary data and are subject to review and adjustment.
Any discrepancies in the tables included herein between the amounts listed and the totals thereof are
due to rounding.

SUMMARY
The summary highlights selected information from this offering memorandum and may not contain all
of the information that may be important to you. You should read this offering memorandum in its entirety
before making a decision to invest in the Bonds.
Republic of Indonesia
Indonesia, the fourth most populous country in the world, is a developing nation in Southeast Asia,
spread across an archipelago of over 17,500 islands. The nation is undergoing rapid economic change as it
continues its recovery from the severe economic shocks it suffered during the Asian financial crisis that
began in mid-1997. The Republic is simultaneously undergoing fundamental political changes as it
transforms itself from a centralized authoritarian system to a participatory democracy that places greater
political power in the hands of local and regional governments.

Per capita GDP in U.S. dollars has been converted from rupiah into U.S. dollars at the following exchange rates: Rp8,393.7 per
U.S. dollar for 2000, Rp10,237.7 per U.S. dollar for 2001, Rp9,366.6 per U.S. dollar for 2002, Rp8,580.0 per U.S. dollar for
2003 and Rp9,006.0 per U.S. dollar for 2004.

The U.S. dollar amount of outstanding external debt of the central government for each year has been converted into rupiah at
the exchange rates used by BPS for calculation of GDP into U.S. dollars as described in footnote (1) above.
Economic developments include modest economic growth (averaging approximately 4.8% real GDP
growth from 2002 through 2004); a relatively stable exchange rate (averaging 9,310, 8,572 and 8,985 rupiah
to the U.S. dollar in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively); consistent current account surpluses (3.9%, 3.4%
and 1.1% in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively); and moderate levels of inflation (increases in the CPI of
10.0%, 5.1% and 6.4% in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively).
Prior to the Asian financial crisis, Indonesia had historically relied on foreign lending to finance its
fiscal deficit, including official development aid from foreign governments and loans from multilateral
lending organizations, such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and from the Paris Club.
Indonesia's budget policy at that time required that the budget deficit be financed by external aid and
foreign loans from official sources. With the onset of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the government of
Indonesia received foreign loans from the IMF aimed to support the Republic's balance of payments as
1


official foreign reserves declined and the rupiah weakened. Since the crisis, Indonesia has successfully
completed three rounds of rescheduling of its Paris Club debt, extending its maturity and reducing its
amount. As a result of Indonesia's decision to exit the IMF lending program in 2003, the country is no
longer able to conduct another Paris Club rescheduling, and the Republic's external debt service
requirements are expected to rise as a result. On March 10, 2005, in an effort to assist countries in South and
Southeast Asia affected by the earthquake and tsunami which occurred on December 26, 2004, the Paris
Club has indicated that it would offer Indonesia (as well as other countries affected by the tsunami) a
temporary debt moratorium for debt service payments through the end of 2005. Although the specific details
of the offers for a temporary debt service moratorium have not been received by the Republic from all of the
individual Paris Club members and formal acceptance of the offers by the Republic is dependent upon
approval by the House, the government intends to accept the Paris Club members' offers for a temporary
debt service moratorium. As a result, the Republic expects that its external debt servicing requirements in
2005 will be reduced and the government has accounted for those reduced debt service payments in its
proposed revisions to the 2005 Budget. See ``Recent Developments -- December 2004 Earthquake and
Tsunami,'' ``--Temporary Debt Service Moratorium Offer from the Paris Club'' and ``-- Proposed
Revisions to the 2005 Budget.'' Indonesia no longer relies exclusively on external borrowings. Beginning in
1998, the government has issued domestic debt as part of its program to recapitalize Indonesia's banks, and,
in 2002, the government began a program of regularly issuing rupiah-denominated bonds in the domestic
market. With the development of a regulatory framework and support from the government, a secondary
market for the government's domestic debt securities has developed.
At the same time that Indonesia experienced the Asian financial crisis, the country entered a period of
fundamental political change. In July and September 2004 Indonesia's voters went to the polls to participate
in the country's first direct presidential election. On October 20, 2004, President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono was inaugurated as the new President of the Republic and Vice President Muhammad Jusuf
Kalla was inaugurated as the new Vice President of the Republic. Before this period of political reform,
Indonesia had been under a centralized authoritarian regime under President Soeharto. Soeharto served as
president of the Republic from 1966 until 1998, when he resigned following widespread civil unrest. A
series of constitutional amendments adopted in the last few years has increased the level of direct
democracy, decreased the influence of the military in civil government, devolved power to regional and
local government authorities and improved transparency of the country's judicial system.
On December 26, 2004 and March 28, 2005, Indonesia experienced earthquakes off the northwest
coast of Sumatra. As a result of the December 2004 earthquake, a tsunami hit the coastal regions of
northwest Sumatra, primarily the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra, and caused widespread damage,
destruction and death. The March 2005 earthquake primarily affected the Nias and Simeulue islands off the
northwest coast of Sumatra and also caused significant damage, destruction and death. The Indonesian
Disaster Relief and Refugees Coordination Agency estimates that at least 90,192 people were killed, 1,095
people are missing and 387,607 are refugees as a result of the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami and
676 people were killed and 36,830 people are refugees as a result of the March 2005 earthquake. The
government estimates the destruction of property in the tsunami-devastated regions of Indonesia at around
$2.9 billion. Foreign governments and international organizations and non-profit relief agencies have
pledged up to $1.7 billion in aid to support the long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts of
Indonesia in Aceh and North Sumatra. The government estimates that the total aid and reconstruction costs
for the regions of Indonesia affected by the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami and the March 2005
earthquake will be up to Rp48.8 trillion, although the actual aid and reconstruction costs may be
significantly higher than this estimate. See ``Recent Developments -- December 2004 Earthquake and
Tsunami'' and ``-- March 2005 Earthquake.''
