Overall, the substantial population increases are expected to profoundly impact the health service needs and funding requirements for South Eastman over the coming decades.

Indonesia has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. While the global economy struggles with high debt and unemployment, Indonesia achieved 6.3% GDP growth in 2012 due to resilient domestic consumption and increased foreign investment. However, bureaucracy, corruption and inadequate infrastructure remain key challenges. With a young population, growing middle class, and strategic location, Indonesia is well positioned to become a global economic powerhouse if it can address these issues and further develop its human resources and connectivity.
2012 State of the Vending Industry Report - Automatic Merchandiser - June / J...Steven Duque
The road to recovery has been slow in the recession, for both automatic merchandising and the multiple industries it serves. Fiscal 2011 saw trends from the previous year continue, as the vending industry slowly recovers from the massive fallout of the Great Recession. In 2011, industry sales declined for the fourth consecutive year, although at a progressively slower rate. The 1.5 percentage point sales decline in 2011 was half the rate posted in 2010, indicating vending operators made progress in
stemming the downward trend.
