We will stop exporting bauxite in 2022 and tin in late 2022
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government is contemplating on imposing a ban on bauxite and tin exports this year as part of the efforts to develop the downstream mineral industry, a minister stated.

The ban is an interpretation of President Joko Widodo's directive to develop the downstream industry and build a new and renewable energy-based and environmentally friendly industry, Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordination Board (BKPM) Bahlil Lahadalia stated during the Road to G20: Investment Forum monitored in Jakarta on Wednesday.

"We will stop exporting bauxite in 2022 and tin in late 2022," he remarked.

He believed the ban on mineral exports will encourage development of the downstream industry that will contribute maximally to the national income.

The government has also halted nickel exports.

The ban on nickel exports has proven effective to increase the export of nickel derivative products, including stainless steel, he stated.

"What has happened in 2022 is that nickel exports only reached US$2 billion, while stainless steel exports from the downstream industry had soared to US$20 billion," he remarked.

The ban on the export of mining and mineral commodities also has had a positive impact on the country's balance of trade, particularly with China.

"In fact, the deficit of our trade with China is currently not more than US$2 billion. (We believe) that our trade balance with China will record a surplus in 2022 (due to) the contribution from our downstream nickel industry," he stated.

Earlier, President Joko Widodo affirmed that the government's bold step to stop exporting mining raw materials has had a positive impact on the country's balance of trade, and so, the government will go ahead with the policy.

"Our courageous move to stop (exporting crude nickel ore) has been fruitful. Hence, we will stop the export of bauxite, copper, tin, and so on," the president remarked.

Indonesia says Tesla strikes $5 bln deal to buy nickel products - media​

JAKARTA, Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. carmaker Tesla (TSLA.O) has signed contracts worth about $5 billion to buy materials for their batteries from nickel processing companies in Indonesia, a senior cabinet minister told CNBC Indonesia.

Southeast Asia's biggest economy has been trying to get Tesla to set up a production facility in the country, which has major nickel reserves. President Joko Widodo met with Tesla founder Elon Musk earlier this year to drum up investment.

"We are still in constant negotiation with Tesla ... but they have started buying two excellent products from Indonesia," Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan said in an interview broadcast on Monday.

He said Tesla signed a five-year contract with nickel processing companies operating out of Morowali in Sulawesi island. The nickel materials will be used in Tesla's lithium batteries.


Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters email seeking comment.

Indonesia is keen to develop electric vehicles and batteries industries at home and had stopped exports of nickel ore to ensure supply for investors. The move had successfully attracted investments from Chinese steel giants and South Korean companies like LG and Hyundai.

However, most nickel investment so far have gone to production of crude metal such as nickel pig iron and ferronickel.

The government plans to impose export tax on these metals to boost revenue while encouraging more domestic production of higher-value products, a senior official told Reuters last week.

Indonesia: I hope you will invest and build nickel processing plant in Indonesia.

Tesla: Well yes, actually no. I'll only buy the half processed nickel and process the rest to become battery in other country.

Tesla will build a factory in Thailand, right?

Before the pandemic, the project was able to draw interest from big international figures like Tony Blair, the former British prime minister; Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi's then crown prince and now UAE president; and SoftBank billionaire Masayoshi Son. But SoftBank Group in March confirmed it will not be investing in the project.

Why? Japanese government officials and experts alike say outside investors have been put off by what they say is a mega project that lacks a big-picture vision. They remain unswayed by Widodo's description of a capital that "will not only house government offices, but it will also become a new economic driving force. It will not only be an ordinary city, but it will be a forest city with world class education and health services."

Indonesia's digital economy to reach US$77 bln, study projects​

8th November 2022



A resident takes a look at ‘start-up’ applications that can be downloaded via smartphones in Jakarta. Indonesia’s digital economy is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 19 percent to reach US$130 billion by 2025 and more than triple to around US$220 billion to US$360 billion by 2030. (ANTARA FOTO/Aditya Pradana Putra/aww)


After years of acceleration, the growth in the use of the digital technology is now gradually returning to normal, with the wealthy and technology-savvy youth in urban areas becoming the largest users of digital services.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The e-Conomy SEA 2022 report has projected that the gross merchandise value (GMV) of Indonesia's digital economy will reach US$77 billion by the end of 2022.



"Indonesia has the second-fastest growing e-commerce sector (after Vietnam). However, apart from GMV, there are many dimensions of growth that must now be focused on," Google Indonesia managing director Randy Jusuf said during an online discussion, which was followed from here on Tuesday.



According to Jusuf, to drive short-term growth, businesses now need to focus more on achieving profitability by cutting costs and optimizing operations.



The digital economy is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19 percent to reach US$130 billion by 2025, and more than triple to around US$220 billion to US$360 billion by 2030.

In Indonesia, e-commerce, transportation, and food delivery services are the top three digital services with near-wide usage rates among digital users in urban areas.



Meanwhile, the value of the e-commerce sector, which has continued to drive the digital economy, is expected to reach US$59 billion this year. Though offline shopping activity is now starting to revive, the e-commerce sector accounts for 77 percent of the overall digital economy.



The GMV of transportation and food delivery is projected to reach US$8 billion in 2022 and continue to grow at a CAGR of 22 percent to touch US$15 billion by 2025. Meanwhile, online travel services have shown 60-percent growth compared to the previous year to reach US$3 billion this year.

Digital financial services are also growing thanks to the post-pandemic shift in offline-to-online behavior. In 2022, the gross total value (GTV) of digital payments in Indonesia is estimated to reach US$266 billion and continue to grow by 17 percent to reach US$421 billion by 2025.



"After years of acceleration, the growth in the use of the digital technology is now gradually returning to normal, with the wealthy and technology-savvy youth in urban areas becoming the largest users of digital services," said Jusuf.



The majority of digital players have shifted their priority from acquiring new customers to creating deeper engagement with existing customers, he added.



The e-Conomy SEA report is a multi-annual report that combines data from Google Trends and Temasek, analysis from Bain & Company, and information from various industry sources and interviews with experts regarding the digital economy of six countries in Southeast Asia, namely Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Indonesia remains attractive place for technology investments: study​

Indonesia's digital economy will continue to attract investment because of its strong fundamentals, such as having a large, highly active user base and a dynamic technology start-up ecosystem.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia remains an attractive place for technology investments, according to the e-Conomy SEA 2022 report.



"Indonesia's digital economy will continue to attract investment because of its strong fundamentals, such as having a large, highly active user base and a dynamic technology start-up ecosystem," said Fock Wai Hoong, the deputy head of technology and consumer and Southeast Asia at Temasek, during an online discussion here on Tuesday.



In 2022, Singapore and Indonesia will be the top two investment destinations in Southeast Asia. Indonesia has attracted 25 percent of the total value of private funding in the region and in the long term, it will remain attractive to investors along with Vietnam and the Philippines.



Digital financial services have replaced the e-commerce sector as the top investment sector by reaching a value of US$1.5 billion in the first half of this year.



Meanwhile, e-commerce is attracting substantial funding from investors as a sector with a high contribution to the digital economy in Indonesia. The e-commerce sector drew 23 percent of the total private investment in the first half of 2022, equivalent to US$800 million.



In Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, more than 80 percent of venture capitalists (VCs) want to focus more on new sectors such as health technology (healthtech), software as a service (SaaS), and Web 3.0, while the education technology sector (edutech) has experienced a post-pandemic decline following the reopening of schools.



During the online discussion, partner and head of digital practice in Southeast Asia, Bain and Company, Aadarsh Baijal, said that Indonesia's digital economy remains the largest and most diverse out of all Southeast Asian nations.



Digital service providers must keep pace with strong consumer demand through meaningful engagement with different user demographics, which can encourage more active participation in the Internet economy, he added.



"The key to maintaining this positive momentum is to drive the acceleration of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) towards the next growth, particularly by deepening the digital adoption of SMEs across SaaS and financial tools," Baijal said.



The e-Conomy SEA report is a multi-annual report that combines data from Google Trends and Temasek, analysis from Bain & Company, and information from various industry sources and interviews with experts to track the digital economy of six Southeast Asian countries—Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Indonesian, Czech companies ink aircraft purchase commitment​

5th November 2022



An L410 NG aircraft purchase commitment was inked at the Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in Jakarta on Friday (November 4, 2022). (ANTARA/Raka Adji).

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian airlines inked an L410 NG aircraft purchase commitment with an aircraft manufacturer from the Czech Republic, LET Aircraft Industries, and PT Prasandha Dumayasa, which will serve as the local partner in Indonesia, on Friday.

The purchase commitment was signed by the director of PT Prasandha Dumayasa, Evi Lusviana; the director of Wise Air, Wibisana Sugria; the director of Sulut Airways, Marco Dino Umbas; the CEO of Star Wisata Air, Rahmat Effendi; the director of PT Merpati Maintenance Facility (MMF), Rowin Mangkoesubroto; and the deputy commercial director, Asia, of OMNIPOL (the holding company of LET Aircraft Industries), David Holubec.

“So far, 18 units of the aircraft (will be) purchased (under the commitment),” Lusviana said after the signing of the purchase commitment during the Indo Aerospace Expo & Forum 2022 at Halim Perdanakusuma Airbase here on Friday.

Of the 18 aircraft that will be purchased by three Indonesian private airlines under the purchase commitment signed on Friday, 10 aircraft will be purchased by Sulut Airways, three by Wise Air, and five by Star Wisata Air.

According to Lusviana, one of the benefits of purchasing the aircraft through her company is that its MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) is already available in Indonesia through cooperation with the MMF.

“Therefore, every user (of the aircraft) can go to the MMF,” she added.

She said that her side’s main goal is to build the aircraft industry ecosystem in Indonesia.

Thus, she asked the aircraft manufacturer to make the aircraft’s components in Indonesia if, later on, the purchase commitment reaches 50 aircraft.

Apart from that, she also noted that the other goal is to improve air connectivity to regions and islands in the country.

“What we see is the function of this aircraft is to help the community and regional governments to carry out their activities,” she remarked.

The L410 NG aircraft manufactured by LET Aircraft Industries is a multipurpose mission aircraft that can be used for various purposes, for example, passenger aircraft (19 seats), cargo aircraft, air ambulance & flying doctor, and maritime surveillance.

Tax revenues in 2022 surpassed target: Finance Minister​

11 hours ago



Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati at the KiTA State Budget Press Conference in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 3, 2023. (ANTARA/Astrid Faidlatul H/rst)

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati stated that tax revenues throughout 2022 amounted to Rp1,716.8 trillion, or 115.6 percent of the target of Rp1,485 trillion, and increased 34.3 percent (yoy), from Rp1,278.6 trillion.

"The increase in the past two years was extraordinary. In 2021, the tax revenue grew by 19.3 percent, and in 2022, it grew by 34.3 percent," the minister noted at the KiTA State Budget Press Conference in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Tax revenue that exceeded the target was driven by tax components that almost entirely exceeded the target, specifically non-oil and gas income tax, value-added tax (VAT) and luxury goods sales tax (PPnBM), and oil and gas income tax.

In detail, non-oil and gas income tax revenues amounted to Rp920.4 trillion, or 122.9 percent of the target, and were able to grow 43 percent (yoy), while oil and gas income tax amounted to Rp77.8 trillion, which exceeded 120.4 percent of the target and able to grow 47.3 percent (yoy).

The minister noted that oil and gas income tax performance growth was driven by rising oil and gas commodity prices, while non-oil and gas income tax was supported by economic activity and a mix of policies.

Meanwhile, VAT and PPnBM were able to reach Rp687.6 trillion, or 107.6 percent of the target, and grew 24.6 percent due to the increase in expansive economic activity, including changes in VAT rates.

Meanwhile, property tax and other taxes were only able to reach Rp31 trillion, which was 95.9 percent of the target, and grew slightly by three percent (yoy) due to increased commodity prices.

Indrawati explained that the number of tax revenues components were reflections of economic recovery that was fairly distributed across all sectors and regions.

"This is in line with our economic recovery that is fairly even in all sectors and all regions and in terms of aggregate demand and production," she pointed out.

Meanwhile, customs and excise revenue in 2022 was reported at Rp317.8 trillion that also exceeded the target of reaching 106.3 percent and grew 18 percent (yoy), from Rp269.2 trillion.

In detail, excise revenues amounted to Rp226.9 trillion, or 103.1 percent of the target, due to the effectiveness of policies or tariff adjustments and supervision as well as the improvement in pandemic conditions, especially the relaxation of tourist destinations.

For import duties, the revenue amounted to Rp51.1 trillion, or 120.6 percent of the target, influenced by the trend of increasing national import performance as a result of increasing domestic demand.
