The goal of these regulations is to increase investment and job creation by streamlining regulations and simplifying the licensing process in order to make doing business in Indonesia easier.

I am interested in studying in Hungary due to the fact it is a relatively safe country for staying, fees and living costs are relatively low compared to the rest of Europe. Moreover, Hungary has a reputation around the world as a country of learning and academia. Throughout its history, Hungarians have been awarded 16 Nobel prizes. A number of things we use in our daily lives are actually Hungarian inventions such as refrigerators, telephone exchanges, helicopters, voice film, film recorders, color television, plasma TV, TV stations, etc. Hungary also well-known as a country with historic urban centers has numerous World Heritage Sites including the largest lake in Central Europe, Lake Balaton, and the largest natural grassland in Europe.
