LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS July 30, 2003 DEAR SHAREHOLDER: We are writing to report on the activities of The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the six months ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the Fund's net assets were $23.8 million. The Fund's net asset value ("NAV") was $2.88 per share, as compared to $2.09 on December 31, 2002. PERFORMANCE Based on NAV, the Fund had a gain of 37.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, vs. a rise of 35.35% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Index.* The Fund benefited from the upward surge in Indonesia's stock market in the period and from good showings from certain holdings in particular. Stocks that aided the Fund's absolute and relative return included its telecommunications, financial services and healthcare holdings. THE MARKET: WEAK START, STRONG FINISH The dramatic rise and fall of geopolitical risk over the past six months strongly influenced the performance of Indonesian equities, along with those in most markets globally. The first quarter saw Indonesia's equity market fall some 7%, as investors became exceedingly risk-averse in the months leading up to the U.S.-led war with Iraq. This occurred despite improving economic fundamentals and the highly positive announcement that the country's parliament had approved the first direct election of government representatives by popular vote. A lessening of global tensions and notable improvements on the home front were among the developments that allowed Indonesian equities to reverse course during the second quarter. Among the highlights: POLITICS. By Indonesian standards, the second quarter was unusually quiet. Fears of widespread terrorist attacks following the end of the U.S.-led war in Iraq have proven to be unfounded thus far. Working in concert with Australia, authorities apprehended the planner of last year's Bali nightclub massacre. Thus far, there has been relatively little political "noise" leading up to next April's direct election of legislators. The main bumps in the road were a resumption of tensions with a major separatist group in the province of Aceh, and a couple of relatively minor events that, fortunately, did not result in any fatalities. All in all, it was a welcome break for a country that has had more than its share of politically inspired violence over the years. THE ECONOMY. The Indonesian economy was a mixed bag of blessings and disappointments during this period. The country posted an unexpected, and large, first-quarter budget surplus, as the government successfully reined in spending. At the end of June, the Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation, rose 6.6%; however, this was the slowest rate of increase since August 2000. Relatively benign inflation and a strong Rupiah allowed short-term interest rates to fall to 9.53% in June, from 10.44% at the end of May and 12.99% at the end of the year 2002. On the other hand, 1 subsidy cuts took a toll on the nation's GDP, which slowed to 3.4% at quarter's end, from 3.8% during the fourth quarter of 2002. In line with this, non-oil imports fell by 10%, a reflection of declining domestic demand, and exports rose by only 4.2%, far lower than the consensus expectation of 6.7%. THE STOCK MARKET. The stock market got an unexpected boost from an unlikely source during the second quarter: SARS. The near epidemic of this respiratory disease effectively closed many large Asian exchanges, sending international investors in search of healthier climes. With the destabilizing war with Iraq at an end, and with a mainly positive local news flow, their appetite for risk increased, and they evidently found inviting fare in Indonesian equities. In appreciation of weak consumer purchasing power and rising prices for non-food goods and services, the Fund held little in the consumer staple and consumer discretionary sectors, during much of the period. On the other hand, we were overweight in the pharmaceutical, materials, energy and financial sectors, where we felt demand was likely to be more resilient in the face of uncertainty. During the second quarter, we had anticipated that the Indonesian stock market might trade sideways, buffeted by political issues and a lackluster outlook for companies, despite lower interest rates. As it turned out, the U.S. drive to lower interest rates prompted investors to seek higher yields elsewhere, including within emerging markets, and Indonesia was a beneficiary. In response, stock prices rose sharply, but without a correspondingly sharp rise in earnings. For our part, we are leery of the lasting effect of this flood of liquidity. We are concerned as well by the generally slow, "incipient" recovery in consumption and corporation profit growth. As such, while the Indonesian market is still attractive to us in absolute terms, the risks appear to be shifting to the downside. Given this view, the Fund will continue with the strategy of seeking higher returns outside of Indonesia (up to a maximum of 20% of the Fund's net assets) to complement and enhance our core Indonesian portfolio. OUTLOOK: BUMPY ROAD AHEAD? Although the prospects for Indonesia's economy and equity market appear to us to be healthy at the moment, we remain concerned about the longer-term sustainability of direct investment and job creation. We have other concerns as well. For one, although politics was largely a non-event in the second quarter, political parties are already gearing up for next year's elections, with a respected Muslim scholar announcing his candidacy for president on the Golkar party's ticket. Thus, we can not discount the very real potential for politically inspired friction in this Muslim dominated country. There is also the issue of what are essentially amateur politicians having to organize and carry through the general election. While lower interest rates, a restructured banking sector and a low loan-to-deposit ratio are now encouraging both local and foreign investment, financial assets have been the main target, rather than fixed assets (i.e., factory and machinery). Also less than encouraging is Indonesia's substantial debt burden. Still, an effective tax cut for the working poor, resulting in higher take-home pay, appears to be boosting consumption and consumer confidence, albeit from a low base. Interest rates also have further room to fall in our view, and may do so shortly in order to temper the effects of a strengthening currency. 2 In sum, we remain cautious on Indonesia's near-term prospects and expect to focus on developments leading up to the general elections as a guide to the future performance of Indonesian equities.

11 THE INDONESIA FUND, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on January 8, 1990 and commenced investment operations on March 9, 1990. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITY VALUATION: The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Fund's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotations as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest ask quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless the Board of Directors determines that using this method would not reflect an investment's value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The Fund sweeps available U.S. dollar cash into a short-term deposit issued by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund's custodian. The Fund also sweeps available cash denominated in Indonesian rupiah into a short-term deposit issued by Citibank N.A., Jakarta. These short-term time deposits are variable rate accounts classified as short-term investments. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and U.S. income tax purposes. Interest income is accrued as earned; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. TAXES: No provision is made for U.S. income or excise taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all U.S. income and excise taxes. Income received by the Fund from sources within Indonesia and other countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (I) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the valuation date rate of exchange; and 12 (II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses in investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such foreign currency related transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. income tax purposes. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in value of investment and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses represent foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of debt securities, transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received. DISTRIBUTIONS OF INCOME AND GAINS: The Fund distributes at least annually to shareholders, substantially all of its net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains, if any. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses, including capital loss carryovers, if any. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a 4% U.S. federal excise tax. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for U.S. income tax purposes due to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles/tax differences in the character of income and expense recognition. OTHER: Securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Investment in Indonesian and other foreign securities requires consideration of certain factors that are not normally involved in investments in U.S. securities. The Indonesian securities market is an emerging market characterized by a small number of company listings, high price volatility and a relatively illiquid secondary trading environment. These factors, coupled with restrictions on investment by foreigners and other factors, limit the supply of securities available for investment by the Fund. This will affect the rate at which the Fund is able to invest in Indonesian and other foreign securities, the purchase and sale prices for such securities and the timing of purchases and sales. The limited liquidity of the Indonesian and other foreign securities markets may also affect the Fund's ability to acquire or dispose of securities at a price and time that it wishes to do so. Accordingly, in periods of rising market prices, the Fund may be unable to participate in such price increases fully to the extent that is unable to acquire desired portfolio positions quickly; conversely the Fund's inability to dispose fully 13 and promptly of positions in declining markets will cause its net asset value to decline as the value of unsold positions is marked to lower prices. NOTE B. AGREEMENTS Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), serves as the Fund's investment adviser with respect to all investments. CSAM receives as compensation for its advisory services from the Fund, an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid quarterly, equal to 1.00% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, CSAM earned $92,261 for advisory services. CSAM also provides certain administrative services to the Fund and is reimbursed by the Fund for costs incurred on behalf of the Fund (up to $20,000 per annum). For the six months ended June 30, 2003, CSAM was reimbursed $2,078 for administrative services rendered to the Fund. Credit Suisse Asset Management (Australia) Limited ("Sub-Adviser") serves as the Fund's sub-investment adviser. CSAM currently pays the Sub-Adviser on a quarterly basis a fee of 90% of the net quarterly amount received by CSAM as the Fund's investment adviser. Bear Stearns Funds Management Inc. ("BSFM") serves as the Fund's administrator. The Fund pays BSFM a monthly fee that is computed weekly at an annual rate of 0.10% of the first $100 million of the Fund's average weekly net assets and 0.08% of amounts in excess of $100 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, BSFM earned $9,107 for administrative services. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Merrill was paid $20,263 for its services to the Fund. NOTE C. CAPITAL STOCK The authorized capital stock of the Fund is 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. Of the 8,266,202 shares outstanding at June 30, 2003, CSAM owned 7,169 shares. NOTE D. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES For the six months ended June 30, 2003, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, were $14,087,790 and $13,459,996, respectively. NOTE E. CREDIT FACILITY The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $100 million committed, unsecured, line of credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company as operations agent for temporary or emergency purposes. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. NOTE F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash 14 sales and Post-October losses (as defined below), and excise tax regulations. Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31 within a taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year ("Post-October losses"). For the tax period ended December 31, 2002, the Fund incurred and elected to defer net realized losses of $2,308,354. At December 31, 2002, the Fund had a capital loss carryover for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $44,180,558 (of which $8,437,172 is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section limitations) of which $7,370,210 expires in 2003; $5,731,003 expires in 2004; $4,600,826 expires in 2005; $14,881,456 expires in 2006; $3,253,238 expires in 2007; $5,937,713 expires in 2008; $1,720,106 expires in 2009 and $686,006 expires in 2010. At June 30, 2003, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $21,240,082, $3,789,971, $(392,065) and $3,397,906, respectively. 15 RESULTS OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS (UNAUDITED) On April 24, 2003, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Indonesia Fund, Inc.
