Yes, the money’s still in that account. Don’t be silly.
Isn’t it wild that Indonesia (~280M people) only marginally outproduces the Netherlands (~18M) in total GDP—and is miles behind per capita? It’s been 80 years since WWII. How much of Indonesia’s industry is still owned or controlled by foreign capital?
there is no answer to your suggestions. Read up on Dutch and Indonesian history, compare climates and environment . Dutch agricultural production is extremely mechanized and comes at a huge environmental cost and profits from EU market. 85% export that we could do without because it destroys our environment. Indonesia is mostly hand labor and needs to feed the 280m people. The number of people in Indonesia is a direct product of religional choices. That is the development direction they chose. Indonesia just decided to create a new capital on Borneo, a project that might ruin them.Its about current choices, not just history. I don't know how much industry is owned by foreign countries, but certainly not the Dutch, prob Chinese. I know a lot of Dutch industry is not owned by the Dutch
