Overview 1. Macroeconomy: High resilience at a time of slowing growth in trading partners and falling commodity prices
2. Policies: Trade policy environment has deteriorated, as has the investment environment in the mining sector 3. Green growth: Some progress, but big challenges. We review: energy subsidies, emissions, forests
4. Boom in coal and palm oil: Substantial benefits but also environmental implications
5. Tourism: Relatively underdeveloped outside Bali. A potential source of long-run (greenish) growth?

Foreign direct investment Balance of payments data indicate net FDI inflows outside the mining sector remain strong (↑ 13% in nominal terms in first half of 2012)

Indications of numerous projects in pipeline (from petrochemicals to consumer goods) Investor interest attributable to buoyancy of economy and attractiveness of large market rather than improving policy environment Hindrances: Infrastructure, institutional quality, human capital Picture: http://www.wave-nakano.co.jp/en/works/indonesia/YamahaMotorElectronicsIndonesiaFactory/

Mining sector changes Divestment requirements: Must be 51% domestic ownership by 10th year of operations
Ban exports of 65 raw minerals. Minerals that have been processed can be exported (focus on sectoral value adding)
8
Exports of the raw minerals allowed to 2014 (subject to 20% export tax) if obtain ‘clean and clear’ status and submit plan to process domestically Not all companies immediately affected (e.g. existing contracts of work), although indication that in future they will need to comply Exports of copper, nickel, bauxite fell sharply

Motivations for requiring domestic processing
1. Ensure Indonesians gain greater benefit from minerals Forcing domestic processing is a very inefficient way to extract minerals rent – will reduce value of domestic minerals 2. Encourage (heavy) manufacturing sector Little rationale for targeting minerals processing. Capital and energy/water intensive. Doesn’t provide many jobs

Trade environment has deteriorated 2011: Tightened import quotas for beef and live cattle (aim for self sufficiency) May: Tightening of import license requirements for finished goods (e.g. general importers only allowed to import goods that fall under one heading) June: Restrictions on horticultural imports to Jakarta’s Tanjung Priok port (subsequently partly relaxed, but Chinese goods still banned) August: Broadened tax holiday for production of capital goods. New anti-dumping policies August: Enhanced role for Bulog (State Logistics Agency) in managing sugar, soybeans, meat, corn

Hatta Rajasa (Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs):
‘In the medium term, Government policy is directed to decreasing
dependence on imports and continuing to encourage
exports’

Green growth President has made several speeches calling for green growth Pro-growth, pro-job, pro-poor, pro-environment Leading institutions support the concept

Definition: Economic growth that does not overly compromise the quality of the environment Idea is not to slow growth, but to address market failures to decouple growth from environmental damage (i.e. price externalities, don’t subsidise pollution, adequately govern open-access resources)
![Page 12: 2 Paul Burke and Budy R · Indonesia Update Conference 2012 Economic Update 21 September 2012 Paul J. Burke and Budy P. Resosudarmo Australian National University](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040522/5e7e0cce015e9d251374d99e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Energy subsidies Distort allocation of resources and encourage overconsumption of fossil fuels and pollution March 2012: Protests against proposals to increase fuel price Compromise solution: Price increase if average Indonesian crude price (ICP) exceeds $121 over 6 months. ICP has since fallen, so trigger avoided Draft budget for 2013 36% increase in energy subsidies, despite a proposal to increase most electricity prices by 15% in 2013 Energy subsidies = 24.1% of central government expenditure (vs 24.0% in 2004)

Greenhouse gas emissions Indonesia one of the largest emitters, mostly from deforestation and peat management Commitment: Reduce emissions by 26% against business-as-usual (BAU) (or 41% with support) by 2020, although BAU not formally locked in

2011 National Action Plan: Most reductions from forests and peat, but also actions in other sectors Emissions from energy are increasingly quickly (4.4% per annum since 2000), stoked by coal Plan to expand geothermal: 48% of a second ‘crash program’ of 10,000 MW by 2018 Many challenges, including human capital

Deforestation moratorium Presidential decree in May 2011 Bans new permits to clear primary forests and peatlands
16
Implementation difficult: e.g. Tripa case (Aceh) Exemptions exist (e.g. energy, sugar, rice projects) Clearing of primary forest also continues under existing permits

REDD+ United Nations’ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation scheme May 2010: Norway committed $1 billion. $30 million disbursed to date President has given strong backing Appointment of UKP4 (President’s Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight) to manage initial implementation REDD+ Agency proposed >45 demonstration activities, half in Kalimantan

REDD+ challenges International market for emissions credits from avoided deforestation not in sight REDD+ Agency may be weak Land tenure, forest monitoring, emissions measurement, local conflicts Might one day be important economic mechanism for sustainable forest management Next President’s support crucial Economics of alternative land uses very attractive…

Substantial benefits from the booms Palm oil 1.7 million jobs, 1.6% of total Wages higher than for food crops Large smallholder involvement (42% of oil palm plantation land) Now world’s largest exporter Coal 260,000 jobs, 0.2% of total Wages much higher than average Growing contribution to government revenue Now world’s largest exporter Both provide sizeable benefits to local economies, principally off Java

Frictions with green growth Oil palm a large contributor to deforestation and emissions from peatland (Oil palm area: 9 million hectares. Large permits for additional expansion in forest areas already provided) One option: Focus expansion on degraded land Coal mining also land intensive, mostly in previously forested areas. Reclamation weak. Pollution

Tourism Difficult time following Asian financial crisis, political transition and terrorist attacks 10th anniversary of (first) Bali bombings
Since 2006 there has been a recovery: International visitors likely to reach 8 million in 2012 (up from 5 million in 2006). Strong growth in visitors from China/India
23
Domestic consumers important: > 230 million domestic tourist trips each year Contributes 3% of GDP; 9% if indirect effects considered Bali: Economy very dependent on tourism (~50% of GDP) Lowest poverty rate (4%) outside Jakarta

Challenges for tourism growth Infrastructure and connectivity: New airports proposed (15 in east Indonesia) Human capital Traffic congestion Outside Bali: Not a tourism priority area under Indonesia’s Master Plan (MP3EI), but substantial growth potential Environmental sustainability (e.g. pollution/ species loss): Indonesia performs very poorly according to World Economic Forum assessment of tourism competitiveness

Aligning with green/blue economy: Growth in many tourism types dependent on conservation of key natural assets e.g. coral reefs
