The Institute of Economic and Social Research (LPEM) of the University of Indonesia holds an annual lecture series entitled "The Sadli Lecture Series in Economic Policy" in cooperation with the Indonesia Project.

The aim of the lecture series is to broaden understanding and stimulate debate among students, academics and policy makers of the key economic policy challenges faced by Indonesia, drawing on the experience of neighbouring countries. It is named in honour of the late Professor Mohammad Sadli who was probably Indonesia's most influential commentator on economic affairs over the past 40 years. Each year it is based on a commissioned paper on Indonesia in comparative economic perspective, published each year in the August number of the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies.

The first Sadli lecture, entitled "Is Indonesia Falling Behind? Post-crisis Export Performance in Regional Perspective", was given by Professor Prema-chandra Athukorala from the Australian National University.

The second Sadli lecture, in honour of the late Mohammad Sadli, "Asian Development Strategies: China and Indonesia Compared" was held on Tuesday April 22, 2008, from 10.00 am to 13.00 pm, at the Nikko Hotel in Jakarta. It was given by Professor Bert Hofman from The World Bank Resident Mission to the Philippines. The event was opened by H.E. Mari Pangestu. The discussant was Dr Thee Kian Wie (Indonesian Institute of Sciences, LIPI).
