SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
JUNE 30, 2007

(unaudited)

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

July 25, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

For the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2007, The Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") had a gain in its net asset value of 10.5%, vs. an increase of 13.3% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Index (net dividends).* Based on market price, the Fund's shares fell by -10.9% during the period. As a result, the Fund's discount to its net asset value stood at 2.3% on June 30, 2007, compared with a premium of 21.1% at the beginning of the period.

Market Review: A volatile period

The six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was a mostly positive one despite a volatile January and February. After a strong 4th quarter in 2006, the market traded lower on profit taking and rose before the end of January to trade sideways till late February. The reverberations of a single day fall of 10% in the China stock market was felt not only in Indonesia but around the world as well. However, the Indonesian market quickly regained its composure to trade progressively higher throughout the period under review.

Underpinning investors' confidence has been the Indonesian central bank continuing its interest rate cutting exercises in response to lower inflation numbers. Concurrently, retail interest in the market rose causing market turnover, the value of securities being bought and sold each day, to rise steadily from a low of US$200 million per day to more than US$400 million per day by the middle of the year.

As the world recovered from the shock caused by the sharp fall in China, commodity prices also recovered and led the mining sector higher. It was the best performing sector for the period as was the energy sector with coal prices rising strongly. The financial sector, however, underperformed the broad market due in part to the strong performance in the prior quarter and the overall hesitant pace of loan growth. Additionally, the telecommunication sector was negatively affected by uncertainties arising from increased competition and the changing board of directors at PT Telkom (22.1% of the Fund as of June 30, 2007).

Strategic Review and Outlook: Anticipating many positive developments

For the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2007, the Fund returned 10.5% compared to 13.3% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Indonesia Index (net dividends). Strong performance in industrials and consumer staples contributed to performance. Additionally, an underweight in telecom services enhanced performance.

Detracting from performance was an underweight to the strongly performing energy sector and stock selection in the materials sector. Additionally, volatility in utilities hurt performance.

Going forward, we expect to focus on domestic plays. In the consumer sector, we expect to keep our exposure to properties as we believe the sector will enjoy better prospects in the future. Additionally, we will continue to emphasize the infrastructure related theme. Within energy, we will attempt to build positions in soft commodities as opposed to metals. We anticipate our bank positions to be maintained close to its maximum permitted sector limit of 25%.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)

Diversification requirements, as usual, restrict our ability to manage the Fund and continue to ensure that we remain underweight the larger cap names in the Indonesian market.

Lower bond yields and interest rates have generally supported market sentiment. A benign inflationary outlook and firm currency have also emboldened the central bank to ease interest rates further supporting future consumption growth. In this respect, we expect demand for durable goods particularly motor cycles and cars to rise in the second half of the year. Related to the fall in interest rates, mortgage rates have never been lower in Indonesia with leading banks quoting rates just under 10%. We expect banks to post mush better loan growth after a dismal 2006 and overall consumption to pick up in the second half of the year.

Coupled with the government's resolve to embark on infrastructure developments, economic growth should remain above 6% for the year. While we expect economic activity to remain buoyant, there are areas of concern namely the absence of foreign direct investments particularly those that create jobs. Reform in its current labor laws have been talked about and would go some ways in encouraging investments but that has not been forthcoming. Nevertheless, despite some misgivings on progress in government policies, the one area which has surprised us is the determination of the government to address the country's shortfall in infrastructure. The progress in passing laws and paving the way for the construction of toll roads, power plants and telecommunication services have been encouraging.

Overall, we believe there are more positives than negatives: earnings likely to be supported by commodities; consumer stocks, including property companies, are expected to do better; infrastructure related spending should boost company earnings; and with government debt having fallen from nearly 100% of GDP to about 40% currently, there is room for fiscal stimulation.

Sincerely,

   
Boon Hong Yeo

THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

Note A. Organization

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.

Note B. Significant Accounting Policies

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. 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 quotation 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 it is determined that this method would not represent fair value. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time, but after the close of the securities' primary market, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. The Fund's estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell.

Short-Term Investment: The Fund sweeps available cash into a short-term time deposit available through Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

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 sufficient to


12



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

relieve it from all or substantially all U.S. income and excise taxes.

Income received by the Fund from sources within Indonesia and other foreign 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

  (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 on 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. federal 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 investments, 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 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: The Fund invests in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency


13



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

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 it is unable to acquire desired portfolio positions quickly; conversely the Fund's inability to dispose fully 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 C. Agreements

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), serves as the Fund's investment adviser with respect to all investments. Credit Suisse 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, 2007, Credit Suisse earned $395,504 for advisory services. Credit Suisse 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, 2007, Credit Suisse was reimbursed $4,392 for administrative services rendered to the Fund.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited ("Sub-Adviser") serves as the Fund's sub-investment adviser. Credit Suisse currently pays the Sub-Adviser on a quarterly basis a fee of 90% of the net quarterly amount received by Credit Suisse as the Fund's investment adviser. The Fund does not pay the Sub-Adviser.

Bear Stearns Funds Management Inc. ("BSFM") serves as the Fund's administrator. The Fund pays BSFM a monthly fee that is calculated weekly based on the Fund's average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, BSFM earned $27,685 for administrative services.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Merrill was paid $15,342 for its services to the Fund.

The Independent Directors receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares purchased by the Fund's transfer agent in the open market. Directors as a group own less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Note D. Capital Stock

The authorized capital stock of the Fund is 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. Of the 8,266,286 shares outstanding at June 30, 2007, Credit Suisse owned 7,169 shares.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

Note E. Investment in Securities

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, were $9,661,346 and $6,901,689, respectively.

Note F. Credit Facility

The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $50 million committed, unsecured, line of credit facility ("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, 2007, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Note G. 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 sales, and excise tax regulations.

At June 30, 2007, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as 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 $40,535,444, $47,768,485, $(319,076) and $47,449,409, respectively.

Note H. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note I. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is effective during the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management adopted FIN 48 on June 29, 2007. There was no material impact to the financial statements or disclosures thereto as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires


15



THE INDONESIA FUND, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implication of FAS 157 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
