U.S.-based technology giant Amazon is planning a 14 trillion rupiah ($938.7 million) foray into Indonesia, in another major investment in the South-east Asian digital economy.

The plan was conveyed to the Indonesian government by Amazon during a meeting in Jakarta.

The investment will be spread over a 10-year period and will enable the introduction of the firm's cloud computing unit, Amazon web services, to the Indonesian market.

Amazon's plan to enter the Indonesian market comes after it expanded to Singapore last year and will be the second major expansion in South-east Asia.
