The industrial sector is the sector that currently contributes most to Indonesia's annual GDP growth. The two most important sub-sectors of industry are mining and manufacturing, both being major pillars of the nation's economy since the 1970s, thus being engines of economic change and development during Suharto's New Order regime. Although the manufacturing sub-sector has lost its momentum after the Asian Crisis of the late 1990s, it still constitutes the most popular sub-sector of Indonesia in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI), followed by the mining sub-sector.
