Over the past ten years (the period of 1994-1999 and 1999-2004) led the Chamber of Commerce, Bakrie managed to bring the employers' organization was very influential in government policy making.
After leading the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, Ical participate convention held Golkar presidential candidate in 2004 and had entered seven big. Although aground, but apparently he learned how to play real politics.

Bakrie family had also been named by Forbes Asia magazine as the richest man in Indonesia in 2007. He did not argue, but also did not respond to excess.
What is the secret of this successful family business? NEWS scene was blowing in from Singapore. From the Lion's Affairs, the Asian edition of Forbes magazine reported December 13, 2007. Its contents, like in previous years, displaying a list of those super-tajir alias of Indonesia's richest. And make a scene, champion for this year is Bakrie, businessman and politician who had hidden in times of economic crisis a decade ago.
Many people gasped. How could Ical-familiar call-that previous Aburizal still in sixth with a fortune of U.S. $ 1.2 billion, are now thrust to the top? The answer, according to research by Forbes, is located on its ability to multiply the coffers of wealth.
Only within a year, Bakrie family's wealth soared almost five-fold higher than last year, to $ 5.4 billion, or around Rp 50.2 trillion! Thanks to this achievement, Aburizal directly displacing tycoon top five at once.

A number of colleagues directly Aburizal welcome with joy the announcement that Forbes. Vice President (then) Jusuf Kalla and Chairman of the Indonesian Indigenous Entrepreneurs Association, Suryo B. Sulisto, including among them. "Do not forget, for the first time in Indonesian history, the richest man occupied by indigenous entrepreneurs," said Kalla.
Bakrie Group is being lucky. According to one investment banker, this business group benefited from two blessings at once: that soaring commodity prices in world markets and the rush of global investors in Asia-Pacific capital markets. That is why the stock index at a number of exchanges in this area sped average 27 percent so far this year. BursaIndonesia even expected to grow to 52 percent.
PT Bumi Resources Tbk. including one unit of the Bakrie Group which ketiban windfall. Largest coal producer in Indonesia is like getting windfall. Coal prices, products, wares, rocketed from U.S. $ 50 per ton in late 2006 to U.S. $ 90 per ton at the end of this year. "This trend is driven by a jump in demand from China and India," said Poltak Hotradero, an analyst with Recapital Asset Management.
With revenues doubled, the Earth shares the more sleek. Investors had been hunting on the stock exchange.

Bakrie family as the owner of 40 percent shares of the Earth would come sumringah. Shares of the pocket is now worth Rp 47 trillion in cash. This means more than 90 percent of the total wealth Forbes estimated at about Rp 50.2 trillion comes from the ownership of these shares of mining companies. "This is evidence of growing confidence," said Aburizal in Jimbaran, Bali.
That's just from the shares of the Earth. The family still has mine other money in the stock of Indonesia. PT Bakrieland Development share price rose 223 percent, PT Energi Mega Persada 190 percent, PT Bakrie Sumatra Plantations 126 percent, PT Bakrie & Brothers' 96 percent, and PT Bakrie Telecom's 75 percent. Generally, this family became majority owner in these public companies.
Then what is the secret behind the triumph of the Bakrie Group? Some analysts and executives from the business group called the key lies in the expertise and time management sees opportunities in decision-making. According Suryo Sulisto, President Commissioner of Bumi Resources, is not separated from the rapid motion of the Bakrie Group hijack reliable professionals, from within and abroad, for the position of terrace management.
There is also another answer behind the rise of the Bakrie business. In the eyes of economists Dradjad Wibowo, Bakrie key to success is a combination of three things: luck, skill to read the market, and proximity to the circumference of power. An investment banker to add one factor: luck. Bakrie shrewdness opportunity to steal business from competitors without a doubt.
Just remember when fighting over shares of Bakrie's largest coal producer in Indonesia, Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC). At that time, Nirwan Bakrie, Bakrie Group main operator who is also sister Aburizal, fought hard with David Salim fight KPC shares owned by Rio Tinto and BP Plc. In fact, David was seconded by the central and regional government of East Kalimantan.
According to sources involved in this transaction, to streamline the acquisition, they lobbied the officials. In addition, Nirwan with Ari S. Hudaya and Nalinkant Rathod of Bumi Resources also sought to convince investors. They were guerrilla to Singapore, London, to New York. As a result, they get funding from Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and United Overseas Bank (UOB). As a result, the price of U.S. $ 500 million, the Earth is twisted his rival's success.
KPC controversial transaction marks a resurgence in the world of business Bakrie Group of Indonesia. In fact, the 1998 economic crisis, nearly breaking down a business empire that pioneered Achmad Bakrie, Bakrie's father, since 1942's. As a result of crises, the Bakrie family must be willing to stay pocketed 2.5 percent stake in Bakrie & Brothers to complete the debt restructuring with its creditors.
However, from there the Bakrie Group business empire was finally able to rise again.
Various measures of acquisition and business expansion continues even encouraged. His business expanded to a lucrative sector, from oil palm plantation business to project properties. They are too busy chasing new oil fields and mines.
Earth, for example, is currently occupied by the proposed acquisition of Herald Resources worth U.S. $ 455 million. Herald's Dairi project is being worked on, lead and zinc mine in North Sumatra. "We are optimistic that a successful transaction," said Dileep Srivastava, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations of the Earth.
They also penetrated into new businesses. Bakri began to enter the telecommunications sector, the road toll to drinking water. In the telecommunications business, they're actively expanding Esia telecommunications networks, products, outside of Java. The group is also actively working on toll road concessions Kanci-Pejagan, part of the Trans-Java project.
The road was not always smooth. Efforts to hunt for oil in the Brantas Block, Sidoarjo, East Java, instead led to disaster. In May 2006, in the area of drilling wells owned by Lapindo Brantas Inc.., Its business units, it came out hot mudflow.
