Jakarta. Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR) is transitioning businesses to electric vehicles and renewable energy, shifting away from manufacturing and infrastructure that have long become the backbone of the company, its president director said on Friday.

The company has begun to supply electric buses to TransJakarta and recently reached a deal to build a solar power plant.

“The world is totally changing due to climate change, digitalization, and the Covid-19 pandemic. We are still in crisis but there are signs of economic recovery. The transformation that we are embracing is therefore inevitable and a very important step for the company to convert crisis into opportunities for growth,” Anindya Novyan Bakrie said during a virtual public expose in Jakarta.

With the economic impact of the pandemic still affecting the company, revenues fell by 21 percent to Rp 1.57 trillion in the third quarter of the year from Rp 1.98 trillion in the same period last year.

However, the company’s net loss has been reduced significantly to Rp 45 billion from Rp 240 billion in the third quarter of last year. Bakrie & Brothers’ asset value rose to Rp 15.12 trillion from Rp 13.99 trillion thanks to increasing short-term investments and third-party loans.

“Approaching our 80th anniversary, Bakrie Group has been transforming its core business from general trade to steel pipe manufacture and expanding to agribusiness, mining, and energy in addition to national-scale infrastructure projects. It’s now time for us to enter electrification and renewable energy,” Anindya said in reference to the parent company.

The company has been collaborating with China’s BYD Auto to supply electric buses over the last three years. The first few buses have passed the homologation process and road tests in the capital city.

Subsidiary Bakrie Autoparts has supplied 30 electric buses to one of TransJakarta operators and they will come to service on the existing routes in the near future.

Bakrie Autoparts CEO Dino Ryandi said the Jakarta government plans to operate 100 electric buses assembled in local plants by 2022 and the company is fully ready to make that happen.

“We have established a partnership with local manufacturers and charging station providers to increase the local content,” Dino said.

Another subsidiary, Bakrie Power, has reached an agreement with state-owned electricity company PLN on the construction of a 1.3-Mw solar power plant in the South Sulawesi town of Selayar. The plant is slated to become operational later this month.

Bakrie Power is eyeing two more renewable projects with combined market size of $ 2.65 million, Anindya said.

Indonesia still has hundreds of diesel fuel power plants that sooner or later will be converted into renewables.

Anin said Bakrie & Brothers also expands businesses to prefabricated houses and 3D printing although they remain at the initial stage and mulls starting technology companies in cooperation with Quantum Venture Fund.

State-owned telecommunications tower operator PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi (Mitratel) plans to raise up to Rp 24.9 trillion (US$1.76 billion) through its initial public offering (IPO), which would give it the biggest IPO in Indonesian history.

Mitratel, a subsidiary of Telkom, Indonesia’s largest telecommunications company, plans to sell 24.54 billion shares at Rp 775 to Rp 975 a piece through the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), according to its IPO prospectus published on Tuesday. The shares amount to a 29.85 percent stake in the company.

Indonesia

Indonesia As of 2021, Indonesia is estimated to have a PPP adjusted GDP per capita of $12,967 and is classified as a lower middle-income country, having been downgraded from its upper-middle income status in July 2021 due to the adverse effects of the pandemic, with GDP contracting by 2.1% in 2020.

Nonetheless, the economy has experienced a bounce back in 2021, with an estimated growth rate of 3.2% in 2021. Consequently, output stands 1.1% above 2019 levels. The economy has enjoyed a strong rate of GDP growth since overcoming the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990’s, despite a modest rate of population growth, which averaged just 1.0% per year over the past five years. Indonesia’s economy has been largely propelled by its strong manufacturing and agriculture sectors.

The former contributed towards 19.8% of Indonesia’s 2020 GDP and stands as the tenth largest manufacturing sector in the world, ahead the likes of the UK and Russia. Moreover, it employs approximately a fifth of Indonesia’s active labour force.

The country’s burgeoning manufacturing sector, which consists of mainly textiles & garments, food & beverage, electronics, chemicals, and automotive parts, along with its competent workforce, has attracted much foreign investment, with foreign direct investment in manufacturing in Indonesia amounting to an estimated US$10.4bn in 2018.

The world’s largest island nation also has a robust agriculture sector, with a strong global market share in palm oil especially, producing up to half of the world’s global palm oil supply. Indonesia follows a 20-year development plan, which spans from 2005 to 2025 and is segmented into 5-year medium-term development plans called the RPJMN (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional), each with different development priorities. The current medium-term development plan from 2020-25 marks the final phase of this plan and aims to further strengthen Indonesia’s economy by improving the country’s human capital and competitiveness in the global market.

Indonesia has also been lauded for cutting its extreme poverty rate by more than half over the 2000’s, to just under a tenth of the population in 2020. Nonetheless, the pandemic has curtailed progress in poverty reduction, with the poverty rate rising to 10.4% in March 2021, up from the recordlow of 9.2% in September 2019.

Compared to the countries in the world hit most severely by COVID-19, Indonesia has somewhat managed to stifle the effect of the pandemic on its residents, with an estimated 52.1 deaths per 100,000 residents recorded relating to COVID-19 as of December 2021. Indonesia's vaccination campaign has also been relatively successful by global standards, with 53.7% of residents having been administered at least one dose. Moreover, 37.8% are fully protected.

Underpinning the robust GDP growth in 2021 has been a resilient labour market. In 2021, the unemployment rate fell by 0.5 percentage points to 6.6%. While government debt as a share of GDP remains at a moderate level compared to some economies in the region, it did reach 41.4% in 2021, up from 36.6% in 2020, partly due to stimulus policies as part of the pandemic response, which as of November 2020, amounted to IDR744.28 trillion. Between 2021 and 2036, Indonesia is forecast to move from 16th place to 8th place in the World Economic League Table, an 8-place improvement in the rankings.

PT Dahana (Persero) shows its seriousness in developing the main weapon system (Alutsista) field, especially in the rocketry sector by building Smokeless Propellant Rockets.

The rocket made by this nation's children has even been tested for the first time at the AWR TNI AU, Lumajang, East Java, Tuesday (28/12).

Dahana's Director of Technology and Development, Suhendra Yusuf RPN, said the rocket was the first innovation in Indonesia that had smokeless thrust capability .

"This Composite Smokeless Propellant is expected to be able to be developed on 70 mm or 80 mm caliber rockets and can be integrated with 70 mm cal warheads that have obtained previous certification so as to reduce import dependence," said Suhendra in a written statement, Wednesday (29/12).

Suhendra added that smokeless composite propellants can be applied to other rockets such as RHAN 122B and other rockets, so that Dahana's rockets have the ability to thrust without smoke.

Until now, Dahana has produced various kinds of defense equipment needs, such as launch vehicles and propellants for RHAN 122B, RHAN 450, Rocket Weapons Against Tanks (SLT), Bomb P Live Series and other products.

This is at the same time an effort to minimize imported products, so that the state defense equipment system can be independent and not affected by external conditions.

"By producing defense equipment, this will bring benefits to the country financially, both in dividends and in increasing foreign exchange," he said.

PT Industri Kereta Api ( Inka ) in Madiun, East Java, today held a symbolic release of the first phase of the export of 262 flat top wagons of container type goods to New Zealand. Inka President Director Budi Noviantoro said the carriages were ordered by Kiwi Rail, a state-owned company that operates as a rail transportation operator and is also the largest inter-island ferry operator in New Zealand.

"This export is expected to be a big step for Indonesia in this regard, especially Inka, to take up another role in the railway market in the Oceania region," said Budi, Friday (12/31/2021). Budi admitted that there are still several cooperation packages that will be fought for. Previously, Inka had also exported 224 blizzard center sills to BradkenRail, Australia.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said he was proud of the achievements of Inka who had been able to create products that could compete in the international market. According to him, Inka is not only making train cars, but also making electric buses which will later be prepared for the G20 Summit in Bali and making containers for sea toll ships in Eastern Indonesia.

"We must be proud, the nation's children are able to export products that have high strategic and economic value. All of these are productive goods that provide investment support in order to increase economic growth," he said.

However, the Minister of Transportation advised Inka to continue to maintain quality and price, which can increase the competitiveness of its products in the international arena.
