INDONESIAN EXPORTS TO GROW BY 5 PERCENT NEXT YEAR : The Indonesian Minister for Industry and Trade, Rini M. Soewandi has said that Indonesia’s export earnings are projected to grow by 5 percent next year on the back of better prices for the country’s main export commodities. The Minister estimated that this year’s export earning would reach US $45 billion, a 3.5 percent rise from US $43.6 billion in 2001. Rini M. Soewandi further added that the improvement in the global economy would help lift the prices of the country’s major exports, such as textiles, electronics, footwear and timber-based products.
BATAM ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO DEVELOP BUSINESS – PERC : The result of a study made by the Hong Kong-based independent consultant institution, the Political Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), suggests that Indonesia’s industrialized island of Batam is one of the best places in the world to expand businesses. The PERC came to a conclusion after interviewing a number of noted foreign investors who consider Batam to be one of the best places to develop their business. Head of the Batam Authority’s Information and Development Division, Purba Robert Sianipar said that the PERC’s study was disclosed in a year-end economic discussion on the Riau’s economic scene in 2002 and economic outlook in 2003 organized by the PERC in cooperation with the institute of Public and Regional Development.
RI CONSIDERING IMPOSING IMPORT DUTY ON DOWNSTREAM STEEL : The Indonesian government is considering imposing duty on downstream steel following a 20 percent to 25 percent increase in import duty on upstream steel starting November 2002. The Director General of Steel, Machinery, Electronic and Multifarious Industries, Achdiat Atmawinata said that they are still studying how to impose duty on downstream steel after import duty on upstream steel has been raised, with some had proposed that the import duty on downstream steel will be equal to or higher than that on upstream steel to strengthen the competitive edge of locally made downstream steel.
IMF TO DISBURSE ANOTHER US $365 MLN TO RI : The board of directors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to disburse to Indonesia another loan amounting to around US $365 million. The approval of the loan, amounting to around US $365 million, was reached following a meeting of the IMF’s board of directors to review the country’s seventh letter of Intent (LoI) to the Fund, which was submitted to Washington on Nov.20. The seventh LoI refers to the government’s quarterly report to the IMF over progress made in meeting a set of promised economic reform targets. With the disbursement of the fresh loan, the IMF has channeled a total of about US $3 billion, out of a total loan package worth US $5 billion agreed to between the government and the IMF in early 2000. Indonesian Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dorodjatun Kuntjoro-Jakti hailed the IMF decision as a reflection of the Fund’s confidence in the progress of the country in carrying out its economic reform program. Dorodjatun further added that Indonesia’s macro-economic improvement which is based on fiscal consolidation and monetary stability has produced economic growth, a more controlled inflation and improvement in the state of the balance of payment. According to him, the immediate future challenges include using the macro-economic improvement momentum for the development of the real sectors to boost investment and exports to help provide employment to millions of jobless Indonesians.
GERMAN PROVIDES US $30M FUND TO RI : The German government has agreed to provide Indonesia with US $30 million worth of funds to help finance various development programs. Some US $28.5 million would be directed towards development programs in the areas of economic reform, health, transport and decentralization, and the remaining US $1.5 million has been allocated towards a poverty reduction program. Germany also expressed an interest in examining a possible contribution to the post-peace agreement process in Aceh province.
CHINA APPROVES INDONESIAN PLAN TO BUILD CPO TANKS IN THE COUNTRY : The Chinese government has reportedly approved Jakarta’s plan to build reservoir tanks for crude palm oil (CPO) to facilitate the export of the commodity from Indonesia. The Indonesian Agriculture Ministry’s Director General for the supervision of the processing and marketing of agricultural products disclosed that China’s need for CPO is expected to increase to 2.4 million tons this year, up by one-third of the 1.8 million tons in year 2001. Building of the reservoir tanks will cut the distribution time, thus helping step up Indonesia’s CPO exports to China.
GAPKI UPBEAT WITH CPO TARGET : The Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (GAPKI) is optimistic this year’s crude palm oil (CPO) output target of nine million tons and export target of about 5.5 million tons will be met. Derom Bangu, Chairman of the Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association said the expected increase in this year’s CPO output was the result of a bumper harvest from trees planted between 1996 and 1998. Indonesia, the world’s second largest palm oil producer after Malaysia, produced 8.3 million tons of CPO last year and exported some 4.9 million tons. Derom said that country’s CPO output was likely to increase next year, with palm trees planted in year 1999 and later expected to begin production. The association earlier said that Indonesia was expected to export some 1.6 million tons of CPO to India and some 720,000 tons to China this year.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION TO REMAIN STRONG NEXT YEAR : Indonesian Agriculture Minister, Bungaran Saragih has said that the country’s agricultural production would continue to grow at a high rate next year on the back of favourable climate conditions and a higher budget to support farming activities. Speaking at a year-end press conference, Bungaran predicted that the 2003 agricultural production would grow by at least 3.7 percent, roughly the same as this year’s estimate. Bungaran further added that the 2003 state budget had allocated around Rp. 2.3 trillion to support farming activities, in comparison to this year’s budget which was only around Rp 1.4 trillion. The higher budget will be spent by the Ministry to provide subsidies for fertilizers, open more farming areas outside Java, and to provide soft loans for farmers.
RUBBER OUTPUT TO RISE 5% IN 2003 : According to the Indonesian Rubber Association (Gapkindo) the country’s rubber production is expected to increase by 5 percent next year from an estimated 1.6 million tons in the current year. Gapkindo’s Secretary-General Suharto Honggokusumo said that the expected output increase was the result of harvests from trees rehabilitated in the last 10 years in several producing areas, mainly on Sumatra island. The Indonesian government has targeted rubber output at 1.6 million tons this year.
BOTTLED DRINKING WATER BUSINESS THRIVING : The Indonesia’s bottled drinking water business is projected to grow by 20 percent next year on the back of strong consumer demand and a relatively stable exchange rate of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar. Willy Sidharta, an executive at the Indonesian Bottled Drinking Water Association, said that the sales volume would increase to 8.4 billion liters from this year’s estimate of 7 billion liters, while last year, the volume stood at 5.4 billion liters. Willy further added that the Industry’s market turnover is projected to jump to US $377.5 million in year 2003.
GOVT TO REOPEN SUGAR IMPORTS NEXT YEAR : The Indonesian government plans to lift the ban on importing sugar from January next year to help ensure an adequate supply for the domestic market. Zaenal Arifin, the Director General of basic chemical industries, agriculture and forestry products at the ministry said that the imported sugar will start reentering the country at the end of January next year as there will be no sugar cane grinding, which could cause a decline in supply. The Indonesian government banned sugar imports in September to help protect local farmers from cheaper imports. Zainal said the ban on sugar imports would come back into effect if the country’s output could keep up with local demand. Indonesia is one of the world’s top sugar importers, with 2.1 million tons of sugar entering the country in 1999, 1.2 million tons in 2000 and 1.6 million in year 2001. The country’s total sugar output stands at 1.7 million tons with an annual consumption of about 3.3 million tons.
BULOG TO IMPORT 800,000 TONS OF RICE NEXT YEAR : The Indonesian State Logistics Agency (BULOG) recently said that it would import some 800,000 tons of rice next year from several countries to meet domestic demand. Bulog Chairman, Widjanarko Puspoyo said that of the 800,000 tons, around 200,000 tons are a carryover (from last year’s contracts) while another 600,000 tons will be imported, based on new contracts, further adding that Bulog expected to import the 600,000 tons from Thailand, Vietnam and China. Bulog would also buy 2.2 million tons from local farmers next year, bringing the agency’s total stock to three million tons. This year, the agency signed contracts to import some 1.7 million tons of rice from several countries, more than last years figure of 1.5 million tons. Aside from agency, private companies also import rice for the domestic market.
RI TO IMPORT 150,000 TONS OF UREA : Indonesia is expected to import 150,000 tons of Urea fertilizer each year due to the low production of state fertilizer plants and a decline in gas supply to fertilizer company PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur.
CAR SALES TO INCREASE : New car sales in Indonesia are estimated to reach 350,000 units in year 2003 or up 9 percent from this year’s 320,000. President Director of PT Indo Mobil Soebronto Laras reported that car sales had been recording a significant annual increase over the past few years. Soebronto said that the car sales increased from 300,000 in 2001 to 320,000 this year and is expected to reach 350,000 next year. Further, Soebronoto added that the sales of motorcycles had been rising very rapidly, from 1.6 million in 2001 to 2.3 million this year and is estimated to reach 2.7 million next year.
STATE PLANTATION COMPANY COOPERATES WITH CHINA TO INCREASE EAST JAVA’S ETHANOL PRODUCTS : The Indonesian state plantation company, PT. Perkebunan Nusantara XI supervising some sugar mills in Indonesia’s East Java province is establishing cooperation with China to increase the province’s ethanol products. Plantation company’s Associate Corporate Secretary, Adig Suwandi said that the amount of the ethanol which is so far produced in the Jatiroto Sugar mill, Lumajang district is relatively small, about four million kilo liters. According to Suwandi the company needs to cooperate with China as an effort to increase the province’s ethanol products.
SAMSUNG SIGNED US $200MLN AGREEMENT WITH PT TELEKOMUNIKASI INDONESIA : Samsung Electronics has signed a US $200 million agreement to supply wireless equipment to PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, the country’s largest telecommunication operator. The three-year contract includes an exclusive pact to supply CDMA 2000 (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile switching centers to handle 1.6 million subscribers, a coup which resulted from the Indonesian government’s stipulation for a standardized switching system nationwide. To be delivered in four phases, Samsung will also provide base station systems with a user capacity of 800,000. The equipment will be used to provide voice calls, Internet access, e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), facsimile transmission and voice mail.
PERTAMINA TARGETS JUMP IN OUTPUT : The Indonesian State-owned oil and gas company Pertamina plans to raise its upstream output, including oil, gas and geothermal steam, by about 84 percent over the next five years. It expects to reach a total output of 470,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) by 2007, from the estimated 255 BOEPD next year, according to Pertamina’s 2002 year end report. The report said that oil output was expected to rise 28 percent to 180,000 barrels per day (BPD) in 2007 from 140,000 BPD this year, while gas output was projected to increase 69 percent to 1,500 million cubic feet per day (MMCFD) from 900 MMCFD and geothermal steam was to increase by 428 percent to 370 megawatt hours per day (MWhd) from 70 MWhD.

Pertamina will invest about US $3.57 billion in developing its upstream sector over the next five years.
SOUTH SULAWESI TO BUILD 696 KILOMETER RAILROAD : The South Sulawesi Governor, HZB Palaguna has recently said that South Sulawesi provincial administration will build a 696 kilometer railroad connecting 7 districts and 62 subdistricts. The railroad will stretch from Makassar city in the southern part of the province to Palopo in the northern part. A feasibility study is being conducted on the project and is scheduled to be completed next year with China being investor who will build the railroad. Palaguna further added that similar projects are planned for four other provinces on the island of Sulawesi.

The plant on Flores Island will process 250,000 metric tons of coconut a year to produce oleochemical, coconut butter and glycerin. The North Sulawesi plant will process 363,000 tons of coconut annually.
HONDA MOTOR PLANS TO EXPAND IN RI : Honda Motor Company plans to invest $30 million to expand its Indonesian production facilities next year to benefit from Southeast Asia’s planned free trade area. The Japanese automaker will open a second Indonesian factory in March, increasing capacity to 60,000 units from 20,000 currently. Honda’s production will remain well below capacity around 25,000 in 2003, up from 13,000 this year but will increase steadily to take advantage of falling barriers to trade in the region. The company aims to export 4,000 units next year from Indonesia, up from only 600 units in the current year. The Indonesian operations will focus on producing and exporting the Stream model across Southeast Asia, while importing other models from manufacturing bases in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. The demand from Indonesian consumers is also firm, with total annual car sales of around 300,000 units.
MALAYSIA TO INVEST IN JAMBI KLIN-DRYING FACTORY : Malaysia’s Latitude Tree Holdings Bhd recently said that its LGG Resources Pte Ltd unit is buying two plots of leasehold land in Jambi province to establish a new klin-drying factory to process sawn rubber wood in Indonesia.
