Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Iranian ambassador to Indonesia Valiollah Mohammadi and several Iranian parliamentary officials visited The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Wednesday to improve cooperation in combating corruption.

"Today, KPK leaders meet with the Iranian ambassador to Indonesia and Iranian parliamentary officials," KPK spokesman Febri Diansyah said here on Wednesday.

Furthermore, he said that international cooperation was needed to eradicate corruption.

The KPK has made a number of cooperation agreements with Iran such as a memorandum of understanding with General Inspection Organization (GIO) of Iran in 2007.

The cooperation between Indonesia and Iran was also conducted in United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) forum and Conference of Internal Supervisory Agency in 2009.

He expected that both countries could share experiences and best practice programs regarding corruption eradication.

"Through Anticoruption Learning Center, the KPK will increase its trainings," he said.

President Joko Widodo earlier said that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) must continue to be strong because extraordinary efforts are needed to fight corruption in the country.

Indonesia needs strong and independent KPK in the fight against corruption, the president said.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian government is mulling to lower the amount of tax on small and medium businesses to 0.5 percent from 1 percent as of late March 2018.

The president said the spatial change of the global economy has created opportunities for the national economy to grow further.

Odd-even policy in Bekasi pushes number of Transjabodetabek passengers
source : Link

the implementation of the odd-even license plate policy at toll roads connecting Jakarta and Bekasi in West Java on Monday has lured more people to use Transjabodetabek Premium buses, an official has claimed.

The bus operator's Djakarta Passenger Public Company (PPD) officer, Dhedi Rasmana, said the company had observed that the number of the premium bus passengers had increased by around 20 percent.

“Previously, a bus only carried 20 to 25 passengers, but buses that departed at 5:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. today were all full [of some 34 passengers],” he said, noting that the Transjabodetabek Premium had been operating since September last year.

The odd-even policy reportedly had significantly cut travel time from Bekasi to Jakarta by 30 to 40 minutes. While usually Bekasi commuters had to endure two hours of gridlock at the Cikampek toll road, now they can safely arrive at Jakarta in one hour and 20 minutes, he claimed.

Batam opens Nongsa Digital Park to serve as a digital bridge between Singapore and Indonesia
BY:
NICKY LUNG

INDONESIA
PUBLISHED:
21 MAR 2018

The Nongsa Digital Park is expected to attract more than US$500 million of investments in the digital economy and is expected to create 10,000 jobs.

On Mar 20, the multimillion-dollar Nongsa Digital Park (NDP) was officially opened in Batam, Indonesia, to bring together digital entrepreneurs from the region to an environment where they can work, live and play.

Launching the first three buildings of the NDP were Foreign Minister of Indonesia Retna Marsudi and Foreign Minister of Singapore Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.

According to a report by Straits Times, the 100-hectare Nongsa Digital Park is Batam's first large-scale commercial project.

Located at the north western part of Batam, the Park is expected to attract more than US$500 million of investments in the digital economy and start-ups and is expected to create 10,000 jobs.

According to the Indonesian Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education, the NDP will be home to Indonesia’s creative industries. There will be a 3D movie and animations studio as well as a laboratory for students to gain hands-on experience in the area of animation and cinematography.

At the launch ceremony, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the Nongsa Digital Park is a beginning, a pilot project of Indonesia’s further efforts to achieve its digital economy potential.

She also called the project "a concrete follow-up" to discussions between Indonesia President Joko Widodo and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong last September to develop Batam as a digital bridge between Singapore and Indonesia.

Singapore Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said the Nongsa Digital park is an example of how Singapore and Indonesia can work together with the private sector for a "win-win outcome".

"We are happy to encourage more mutually-beneficial projects with Batam. A thriving, confident, creative digital hub in Batam will be good for Indonesia, good for Singapore, and good for our region," he added.
The idea of the park was mooted by Infinite Studios, a Singapore-based integrated media entertainment and creative services company, and developed by its parent company Citramas Group.

The NDP will bring mutual benefits to Indonesia and Singapore, as it will support both Indonesia’s plan to create 1,000 new digital start-ups worth US$10 billion by 2020 as well as Singapore’s plans to expand its information and communications technology (ICT) sector.

So far, three of nine office blocks have been completed in the project’s first phase.

According to Straits Times, Senior Director of the Nongsa Digital Park Marco Bardelli stated that the Park has an ideal infrastructure for digital businesses to grow and it incorporates plans for a future data centre, complete with lifestyle and tourist facilities.

Minister Balakrishnan also shared his Batam trip on his Facebook page.

“Singapore’s ICT sector is thriving. But future growth also depends on access to larger markets, technology and availability of talent. This commercial collaboration between Singapore and Indonesian companies will expand job and business opportunities for both Singaporeans and Indonesians. We continue to work with Indonesia to build a more digital, skills-driven economy, which will be good for our whole region. There is so much Singapore and Indonesia can do together, including through the private sector, for mutual benefit. We hope to see Batam become a digital bridge between Singapore and the rest of the digital communities throughout Indonesia,” he wrote.

Indonesia wins biodiesel antidumping case in EU appeal court

Trade Ministry international trade director general Oke Nurwan has said the Indonesian government and several companies have won in a biodiesel antidumping case against the European Union at the appeal hearing at the EU court recently.

The court had ordered the EU to scrap the antidumping tariffs between 8.8 to 23.3 percent against Indonesian biodiesel products, said Oke in a statement received by The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

“With the decision, Indonesian businesspeople can export biodiesel products without facing any antidumping tariffs,” said Oke, adding that the decision had come into effect on March 16

Oke said it was a double victory for Indonesian biodiesel products as previously, Indonesia had won a similar case in the World Trade Organization dispute settlement body.

“The decision shows that Indonesian palm oil products are not subsidized and are not sold at dumping prices,” he said, adding that the court’s decisions were expected to help Indonesia expand its biodiesel market.

According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesian biodiesel exports to the EU peaked in 2011, which was recorded at US$1.4 billion before the union imposed antidumping tariffs on Indonesian biodiesel products in 2013.

But since then, Indonesian biodiesel products to the EU constantly declined, with the lowest level occurring in 2015 ($68 million).

The EU imposed antidumping tariffs on Indonesian biodiesel on Nov. 19, 2013. Indonesia filed the lawsuit against the decision with the EU first court on Feb. 19, 2014.
