>> JAKARTA - Fitria Yusuf is a bag lady, but you won't find her sleeping rough

>> 
>> Her bag of choice is Hermes, a French brand so coveted in the Indonesian

>> 
>> "Back in 2006, seeing a Hermes bag was like seeing Halley's comet," said 
>> Yusuf, the 29-year-old co-author of "Hermes Temptation," which chronicles 
>> how the bag made by French luxury group Hermes International SCA has become 
>> "a must-have item" for Jakarta's burgeoning high society.
>> 
>> The Hermes obsession is one sign of how Indonesia's economic revival is set 
>> to produce the fastest-growing ranks of millionaires in Asia as the country 
>> enjoys a sweet spot of political stability, strong demand for its plentiful 
>> commodities and renewed investor interest.
>> 
>> That is also adding to economic tensions in a country with a history of 
>> social upheaval and where tens of millions still live a hand-to-mouth 
>> existence despite hefty recent falls in poverty and a rising middle class.
>> 
>> With presidential elections looming in 2014, workers have held a series of 
>> strikes in recent months, driven by high commodities prices and a growing 
>> sense that the fruits of the economic boom have not been widely shared.
>> 
>> As Southeast Asia's largest economy leaves its basket-case reputation behind 
>> with annual growth of about 6 per cent and basks in its newly won investment 
>> grade credit status, it is minting dollar millionaires at a rate of 16 a 
>> day, consulting firm Capgemini says.
>> 
>> The number of millionaires will triple to 99,000 by 2015, according to 
>> wealth management firm Julius Baer, the quickest pace of any Asian country.
>> 
>> That is making Indonesia - a country with ambitions to join Brazil, Russia, 
>> India and China in the BRIC group of big emerging economies - a must-have 
>> market for luxury firms such as Hermes and for a rapidly growing wealth 
>> management industry.
>> 
>> "The middle class is gaining wealth and becoming extremely rich. I would say 
>> that's the growth market now, a million dollars (in assets) and up," said 
>> Jan Richards, managing director and market manager for Southeast Asia at 
>> J.P. Morgan Private Bank, which manages more than $700 billion globally.
>> 
>> The profile of Indonesia's new rich has been heavily shaped by the surge in 
>> demand from China and India for the country's commodities. The world price 
>> for a tonne of palm oil, of which Indonesia is the largest producer, has 
>> more than doubled since 2006, for example. Gold, of which Indonesia is a 
>> major producer, has tripled in the same period.
>> 
>> Eight of the 10 wealthiest Indonesians in Forbes' annual rich list have 
>> substantial holdings in the commodities sector, including palm-oil magnate 
>> Eka Tjipta Widjaja and coal billionaire Low Tuck Kwong.
>> 
>> DBS Private Bank said its wealth management business in Indonesia is growing 
>> at an "exceptional" annual pace of 40 per cent, much of it fuelled by the 
>> mining industry in resources such as coal, gold, iron, nickel and bauxite.
>> 
>> "We believe there are more than 20 billionaires with interests in coal and 
>> mineral mines, as well as oil palm plantations in the country," said Chan 
>> Kwee Him, Indonesia country head for the bank.
>> 
>> GROWING WEALTH GAP 
>> 
>> The surging ranks of millionaires and the concentration of wealth in the 
>> commodities sector highlights how the benefits of Indonesia's revival are 
>> far from being evenly spread among classes and regions in the huge 
>> archipelago.
>> 
>> While Hermes bags change hands for up to $50,000 and buyers face a six-month 
>> wait for a $1 million Lamborghini super car, far-flung regions like Papua 
>> and Maluku struggle to provide basic public services.
>> 
>> About 100 million Indonesians - about 40 per cent of the population - live 
>> on less than $2 a day, the World Bank says. Average wages at $113 are a 
>> third of China's.
>> 
>> About 60 million of Indonesia's 133 million-strong "middle class" spend 
>> between $2-4 a day, the World Bank says. A 1,500 rupiah ($0.17) per litre 
>> cut in fuel subsidies being considered by the government would push 2.4 
>> million people below the poverty line, a study by the University of 
>> Indonesia found.
>> 
>> "I don't feel middle class, I feel poor," said 21-year-old Siti Aisah, who 
>> runs a shack selling snacks to construction workers that is almost in the 
>> shadow of Yusuf's sprawling house in a Jakarta suburb. She said her family 
>> can afford to spend about $10 on good days - middle class by some measures.
>> 
>> Since the 1998 fall of President Suharto following widespread rioting in 
>> Jakarta, broad inequality measured by the Gini index has risen to 0.38 from 
>> 0.32. That is still below many regional neighbours, but some economists 
>> question the accuracy of the surveys it is based on. A paper by Harvard's 
>> Kennedy School of Government estimated Indonesia's real Gini score at 0.45, 
>> putting it on a par with the Philippines and Cambodia.
>> 
>> Corruption-prone governance, poor infrastructure, low spending on social 
>> welfare and health and the business dominance of a relatively few families 
>> contribute to entrench inequality.
>> 
>> "Indonesia's tiny stratum of ultra-wealthy citizens continues to be plumped 
>> up by a process of wealth extraction from natural resources rather than by 
>> wealth creation through industry and production," said Jeffrey Winters, an 
>> associate professor at Yale University.
>> 
>> LUXURY BOOMS 
>> 
>> Consultancy firm McKinsey sees the number of households earning $7,000 a 
>> month rising to 25 million by 2020 from around 17 million now as Indonesia's 
>> broad middle class continues its expansion.
>> 
>> But sustained growth in the middle class depends on how well Indonesia 
>> improves its low productivity and poor infrastructure to help bridge huge 
>> regional differences. Just six of Indonesia's 350 cities account for about 
>> 30 per cent of GDP, said Arief Budiman, a partner with McKinsey in Jakarta.
>> 
>> There are some signs that the wealth is spreading, said Chan of DBS.
>> 
>> "While many of these billionaires are from old wealth, some are newcomers 
>> who are small planters or mine owners who benefited from the commodity boom. 
>> This segment of new wealth is also the fastest growing," Chan said.
>> 
>> While the luxury market is small compared to China or Japan, companies like 
>> France's LVMH and Britain's Rolls Royce Holding PLC are jockeying to be in 
>> place for the country's coming of age.
>> 
>> Sales of "premium" cars soared 27 per cent last year, despite clogged roads 
>> in Jakarta and other big cities that reduce speeds to a crawl on week days. 
>> At a Jaguar and Bentley showroom nestled between Louis Vuitton and Bulgari 
>> stores at one of Jakarta's swankiest malls, a sales manager said he had sold 
>> about 10 of the cars priced up to $300,000 in February.
>> 
>> At the only Jakarta store of French luxury shoe and bag maker Christian 
>> Louboutin, sales of the precariously high-heeled stilettos priced up to 
>> $7,800 are up 25 per cent over the past year. Compared to women in Singapore 
>> or Hong Kong who are more likely to use public transport, Indonesia's upper 
>> crust prefer higher heels because they get around in chauffeur-driven cars, 
>> said store manager Budi Santoso.
>> 
>> "The ones who can afford these don't really walk."
>> 
>> His best customers buy 20 pairs a season and he has steady mail-order demand 
>> from areas such as the resource-rich Kalimantan region on Borneo island.
>> 
>> Sales are surging despite a sales tax of up to 200 per cent on luxury goods 
>> that adds to the usual headaches of doing business in Indonesia. French 
>> group PPR's luxury division, whose brands include Gucci and Alexander 
>> McQueen, said such concerns were preventing it from having a direct presence 
>> despite "double-digit" sales growth at its franchise stores.
>> 
>> If Yusuf's tales from the front lines of Hermes bag obsession are any guide, 
>> luxury firms have a bright future in Indonesia.
