The progress of a
nation, depends among others on the progress of the national industry. With
advanced industry, it was almost certain Indonesia’s economy would progress
well with all the handicaps and consequences. Indonesia who had the ambition to
be an industrial state must strive hard to realize the mission and division.
One of the sustainer of national
industry was the non oil-gas industry. Rumors spread out that amidst unstable
economic condition the non oil-gas industry surprisingly managed to grow by
5m21% in Q 1/2015 higher than even economic growth which was 4,71%.
“Apparently since 2011 to Q-1/2015
last, growth of non oil gas industry had always been above economic growth.
Only in 2013 growth of non oil gas industry was slightly below that of economic
growth. From that data the Government was optimistic growth of non oil gas
processing industry could reach 6.83% by end of 2015 and in 2019 to reach
8.38%.
Increase of industrial growth in
tandem with increased contribution of the non oil-gas processing industry
against GDP was posted in 2015 at 21.22% and in 2019 at 24.15%.
The industrial sectors that grew
high in Q-1/2015 were among others Pharmaceutical industry, Pharmacy and
Traditional Medicines 9,05%; Basic Metal Industry 8.66%; Food & Goods
Industry; Computers, electronic Goods, Optics and Electrical Equipments 8.14%.
Meanwhile export of industrial
products till January 2015 was USD 9.07 billion, contributing 68.17% to total
national export while import of industrial national product in January 2015 was
USD 9.70 billion or down by 8.29% against same period of 2014 at USD 10.58
billion.
Through various efforts by the
Government and all stakeholders of industry, the Government was optimistic than
performance of industrial products would be more positive in the future. On the
other hand, investment of domestic capital (PMDN) in Q 1/2015 came to Rp.17.45
trillion, an increase of 57,01% against same period of 2014 while investment of
foreign capital (PMA) amounting to USD 2.87 billion was a downturn of 17.92%
against same period of 2013. This should be attended to consider that
investment was the propeller of growth and provider of employment
opportunities.
In developing industry, the
Government was expecting that a sound and competitive industry would be built
over the period of 2015 – 2019 through strengthening of national industry
structure, increase of added value, to open employment opportunities, and to strengthen
national resilience.
Therefore national policy and
development strategy must be focused of 6 aspects, i.e. stipulation of
prioritized industry, development of industrial resources; empowerment of
industry; development of industrial facilities; development of small and medium
industry, (IKM) and industrial zoning.
The policy to develop manufacturing
industry was executed in the following ways:
Firstly, to develop industrial
zoning, by facilitating development of 14 industrial centers outside Java and
development of 22 Small-and-medium industry centers, 11 in East Indonesia and
11 in West Indonesia.
Secondly, to develop industrial
population, by developing 9 thousand units of big and medium scale industry of
which 50% was in outside Java and to develop 20,000 units of business entity.
Thirdly, efforts to strengthen
competitiveness and productivity, by way of among others: to step up technical
efficiency to command over technology and to enhance innovations, and to
enhance new products development by domestic industry and to open minded to
inputs.
Admittedly there was one great
challenge in the industry sector to be in the near future: the implementation of
the Asean Economic Community (AEC) by end of 2015. The implementation of AEC
could, on the one hand, open access for Indonesian products to Asean market,
but on the other hand unless well anticipated Indonesia’s big market would be
mere sitting duck to foreign trade invasion.
Therefore the Government must call
out all stakeholders of national industry especially the Indonesian Chamber of
Commerce (KADIN) to mobilize businesspeople oh high competitiveness to compete
tightly against competitors of other countries. The Government had their
obligation to empower existing businesspeople and make a new breed of strong
entrepreneurs to compete in Asean.
The Government was also preparing a
defensive strategy to wall out foreign invasion of products through non tariff
barrier instrument like the application of Indonesia National Standard of
products certification. So far already 50 Indonesia National Working Competence
Standard (SSKNI) and 25 Profession Certification Centers (LSP) as well as
Competence Test Centers (TUK) had been set up.
About the policy promote use of
Domestic Products (P3DN) which was a strategy to strengthen national to realize
it. The effort was necessary in this era of globalization and economic
liberalization which would bring change to national economy especially with the
free traffic flow of capital, investment goods, services and workforce.
The Government’s legal foundation
was clear that the effort to empower domestic industry was exercised by
implementation of P3DN. The policy was also designed to enhance national self
reliance in economy.
The legal based and Government’s
commitment to implement P3DN was mandated in Trisakti and Nawa Cita Philosophy
toward national economic self reliance, Presidential Instruction Number 2 year
2009 on the use of Domestic products in Government’s goods and services
Procurement; Law No 13 year 2014 on industry and Regulation of the Ministry of
Industry No. 02/M-IND/PER/1/2014 on the Guidelines for Promotion of the Use of
Government’s Goods and Services.
The objective of P3DN implementation
was among others to increase use of domestic parts and products by the
Government, to empower domestic industry by commanding the domestic market and
minimize dependency on imported products by using capital goods, raw materials,
components and technology from the domestic resources.
The P3DN objective was to enhance
use of domestic products by state ministries and institutions, BUMN, BUMD, BUMS
and the public To maximize use of local made components, to promote TKDN
certified products and to enhance national pride in using domestic products.
On the other hand, execution of P3DN
policy was related to 3 aspects, i.e. mandatory users of P3DN, users Duties,
and Producers obligations. P3DN included:
Firstly, Government’s institutions,
Ministries, non Ministrial Government bodies, and SKPD task force for
procurement of goods and services from state’s budget and Regional State’s
budget, including grant from domestic or overseas resources
Secondly, BUMN, BUMD, and BUMS in
the procurement of goods and services financed by APBN budget, APBD or projects
based on collaboration between the government and private companies.
The obligations of users were :
- Mandatory to use domestic made products for domestic products containing total TKDN value and BMP at least 40% with total goods TKDN at least 25%.
- Mandatory to insert requirements of domestic products that must be used.
- Mandatory to give price preference of domestic products of construction service at least 75% above lowest price offer of foreign service company
The obligations for
producers were:
One : the magnitude
of TKDN value and Value of Company’s Benefit (BMP) on domestic products
presented must be in accordance with the value in the inventory list of
domestic goods/services issued by the Ministry of Industry.
Two :
industrial company as producer of goods inserts value of TKDN already verified
on product’s label
Three : producers
and /or provider of goods were obliged to guarantee domestic products presented
in procuring domestic products at home.
Some of the infra structure projects
which already had their P3DN accomplished were:
- Upstream oil gas industry under coordination of SSK Oil Gas and exercised by K3S Working contract under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource (ESDM).
- Building of power plant and transmission of energy, PT PLN, PT PGN under the Ministry of BUMN.
- Building of roads infra structure, dams, bridges, housing under the Ministry of Public Works and People’s Housing.
- Construction of railway, harbors, airports, transportation, maritime connectivity under the Ministry of Transportation.
- Building of information and technology system by PT Telkom Indonesia under the Ministry and Information and Communication
From the above
picture it was apparent that to initiate development of national industry it
was right for the Government to act in collaboration with the related
Ministries and Institutions with emphasis of using domestic resources toward
national economy resilience. (SS)
