Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian economy is expected to perform better this year than it did last year after the government issued a series of economic policy packages.

Since September last year, the government has issued at least seven economic policy packages aimed at strengthening the national economy amid a global economic slowdown.

By deregulating an assortment of economic policies, the government intends to attract more investment to support the economic growth by scrapping a number of rules seen as bottlenecks in the way of investment, offering a plenty of tax breaks, and cutting the red tape in the investment sector.

The deregulation of economic policies also simplifies issuance of permits in the forestry sector to allow more investment from miners, geothermal investors and forestry firms and offers incentives in the form of more attractive rates to exporters depositing their foreign exchange earnings in local banks.

In addition, the deregulation of economic policies also offers companies the issuance of a license within three-hours of application if they wish to operate in industrial parks with a total investment of more than Rp100 billion or employ a minimum of 1,000 workers.

Following deregulated economic policies, the minimum wages are now calculated by using each provinces inflation rate and economic growth, thereby enabling businesses to better estimate their labor costs which are part of production costs.

The series of economic policy packages are expected to attract more investment and create more jobs, which will eventually boost the peoples purchasing power and increase domestic consumption, one of the engines of the countrys economic growth.

Many parties including businesspeople and bankers believe the economic policy packages will begin showing results in 2016.

The World Bank has predicted that the Indonesian economy will expand by 5.3 percent this year, higher than the economic growth forecast of 4.7 percent for last year.

World Bank chief economist for Indonesia Ndiame Diop was quoted by Bisnis.com as saying last year that the economic policy packages will begin to have a positive impact on the public this year.

He predicted that government spending will increase to 3.2 percent this year from last years forecast of 2.1 percent, while capital expenditures will go up to 5 percent this year from the 2015 projection of 3.7 percent.

Indonesias exports are expected to grow by 4.7 percent and imports to increase by 3.6 percent this year, along with the expected recovery of global trade.

The expected robust economy of China, one of Indonesias main trade partners, is predicted to boost demand for Indonesian commodities.

Meanwhile, the Association of Indonesian Businessmen (Apindo) has expressed optimism that the economic growth this year will be better than that of last year despite global economic pressure.

"The pressure is still heavy, but we believe there has been an anti climax when we look at the macro development and the optimism of the World Bank which has predicted the global economic growth to increase to 3.6 percent from 3.2 percent," Apindo Chairman Hariyadi Sukamdani said in December last year.

He noted that the Indonesian economy grew at a slow pace last year as infrastructure projects did not run optimally, while the government has committed itself to boosting infrastructure projects starting early this year. The government-set economic growth target of 5.2 percent for this year is quite realistic, he said.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB), in the supplement to its year-end report Outlook Update issued early December last year, has also predicted that the condition of the Indonesian economy will be better this year, with economic growth projected at 5.3 percent although it was revised down slightly due to the suspended recovery of the export sector.

However, Bank Indonesia Governor Agus Martowardojo noted that four challenges will lie ahead to boost the economy. First of these will be the Chinese economic slowdown; second, downward trend of the global commodity prices; third, uncertainty about the Federal Reserves policy; and fourth challenge will be the increasing capital outflow.

The central bank said the economy will still be difficult to grow and that it has adopted a consistent and prudential monetary policy to keep the inflation and current account deficit in check this year. The measure is also aimed at maintaining the rupiahs stable exchange rate as per the economic fundamentals.

Despite the challenges, Bank Indonesia noted that four domestic strengths will help economic growth, including the economic policy packages which support investment and domestic industry and discipline in managing macro economy.

The Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (Indef) has predicted the economy will grow by 5 percent, slower than the governments target of 5.3 percent for this year.

Indef director Enny Sri Hartati told a national seminar on 2016 Indonesian economic projection in November last year that a wide range of problems will still hinder the economic growth this year.

The problems include Chinese economic slowdown, uncertainty about the Fed fund rate, slow household consumption and declining exports.

To spur the economic growth and take it beyond 5 percent, she suggested that the government should improve the peoples purchasing power and encourage investment.

For Shipbuilders, Life’s a State-Funded Beach

Jakarta.
Indonesian shipbuilders expect a bumper year thanks to orders from state-owned energy company Pertamina and the maritime ministry.

Pertamina has placed orders worth a combined Rp 4 trillion ($289 million) for vessels this year, while the maritime ministry has commissioned 3,325 new medium and small boats, according to Indonesia Shipbuilding and Offshore Association (Iperindo) chairman Eddy Kurniawan Logam.

“This will be a very busy year for the country’s shipbuilders,” Eddy told the Jakarta Globe.

However, he noted that orders from the private sector remained scant, blaming a drop in global commodity price for compelling companies to cut back on their spending.

Iperindo is urging the government to waive import taxes on ship components and spare parts, in light of the high costs brought about by the weak rupiah. Local shipbuilders rely heavily on imported parts because of a lack of local manufacturing capacity.

The government last month announced an import tax exemption on airplane components, as part of its series of economic stimulus measures aimed at cutting red tape and reinvigorating economic growth.

Big coal miners plan higher
production this year

Raras Cahyafitri, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Mon, January 04 2016, 4:38 PM




The country’s major coal miners plan to further boost production in 2016 although analysts estimate that an oversupply in the world’s coal market will continue.

The production levels proposed by large coal miners are quite different from those filed by small and medium coal miners, who mostly plan to reduce production on account of low demand in the world’s coal market.

According to data from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s mineral and coal directorate general, by mid-December, as many as 71 companies, consisting of 64 coal contract of work holders and 7 permit holders, proposed a total of 303.33 million tons of production in 2016. The 2016 production plan will be far lower compared to the proposed 419 million tons in 2015.

The ministry’s director for coal, Adhi Wibowo, said that a large number of small coal producers had yet to file their production plans for this year. However, their contribution to the country’s total production is quite small.

Figures from the mineral and coal directorate general showed that most big firms actually planned to increase their output.

Among 11 firms producing more than 5 million tons, only two firms proposed lower output in 2016, namely PT Adaro Indonesia with a slight 0.8 percent cut and PT Kideco Jaya Agung with almost 18 percent.

President director of Adaro Energy, the owner of Adaro Indonesia, Garibaldi Thohir said earlier that his company would set output at a range of 52 to 54 million tons in 2016, around 7 percent lower compared to targeted output in 2015 of 54 to 56 million tons.

“We sell most of our coal under long-term contracts and only a little we offer on the spot market. We will reduce the amount [of coal offered] on the spot market,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kideco is unlikely to raise its production because its sales remain sluggish. Figures from Jakarta-listed Indika Energy, which is Kideco’s parent firm, showed that the subsidiary company had suffered from a 15.6 percent drop in selling price from January to September 2015. The company also became less aggressive as its realization of capital expenditure, particularly for maintenance and heavy equipment spending, stood at only US$4.3 million during the first nine months of 2015, only around 25 percent of the budgeted $17.8 million.

On the other hand, state-owned PT Bukit Asam will boost its output this year, partly because a new train transport facility and long-term contract have been sealed.

Adhi said that small miners with less than 3 million tons in production tended to cut output because they were the most affected by plunging prices. Meanwhile, big firms continue to increase their production.

“There are fixed costs companies have to pay. To pay the costs, increasing the production volume is the only way. However, we will evaluate further if higher production is meaningless and firms continue seeing losses, we will reject the proposals,” Adhi said.

He revealed that the company that proposed the highest drop in output for 2016 was PT Kaltim Jaya Mineral, which slashed its plan to only 150,000 tons in 2016 compared to 1.2 million tons in 2015.

Global coal companies have been suffering from declining prices, particularly on slowing growth of demand while stockpiles continue to rise as producers pump up output. The benchmark thermal coal price at Newcastle Port in Australia fell to US$50.63 per ton in the last two weeks of December, according to figures from Bloomberg. The price was the lowest level since December 2006.

Indonesia’s coal reference price (HBA) for December was set at $53.51 per ton, around 16 percent lower compared to a reference price of $63.84 per ton set in January. The December price is around 57 percent lower compared to the all-time high HBA price of $127.05 per ton set in February 2011.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Railways are considered to be the most economical and efficient means to solve the transportation problems in Indonesias easternmost provinces of Papua and West Papua.
