Vice president Boediono said Indonesia should not depend on the low cost of labor to attract investment.

"Relying on low wages to attract investors should not be depended upon, but it must be based on competitive factors," he said on Sunday as quoted by Antara.

Boediono said the government should build more infrastructures to attract investors instead. Such infrastructures include gas supply, electric facilities, more easily obtainable land permits, better legal certainty and capital boosts for small and medium-sized enterprises.
