AFTER three years in government, President Joko Widodo is racing against time to complete his infrastructure projects. A number of them are currently being pushed through, covering various sectors, with almost all being worked on at the same time. All these activities spark public excitement, but also raise questions about the projects' sustainability. Jokowi's choice to develop infrastructure is certainly not misplaced. Several studies show that infrastructure development in Indonesia was relatively backward in comparison with its neighbors. Even worse: previous administrations spent more funds on fuel subsidies compared to physical construction. For example, in 2011, the energy subsidy budget approached US$20 billion, the same as the budget to fund infrastructure for the next two years. This backwardness led to an unhealthy economy, marked by large commodity price disparities between Java and other regions.
