SUBJECT: INDONESIA - ECONOMIC AND ESTH HIGHLIGHTS - DECEMBER
2005
¶1. Summary. Indonesian financial markets reacted favorably
to a December 6, 2005 cabinet reshuffle, with the rupiah
gaining two percent through the end of December to close at
9,840/USD. The Jakarta Stock Exchange composite index also
rose six percent after the reshuffle to close at 1,162 on
December 29. Indonesia's year-on-year (YoY) consumer price
inflation rate fell in December 2005 for the first time in
seven months after state oil company Pertamina cut fuel
costs and food prices stabilized. Indonesia's non-oil and
gas exports increased 18.3 percent in the first eleven
months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, with
machinery/electrical tools, fats and palm oils, and coal as
leading export categories. As part of its debt re-profiling
efforts, on December 8 the Government of Indonesia (GOI)
swapped USD 579 million worth of high yield bonds maturing
in 2007-9 with bonds maturing in 2020. The Ministry of
Trade announced on December 27 that the GOI would extend a
shrimp import ban initially scheduled to expire on December
28, 2005. Coordinating Minister for the Economy Boediono
agreed on December 21 to implement a five percent tax on all
coal exports. State power company PLN signed an MOU with
Korea's KEPCO on December 13 to conduct a nuclear power
feasibility study. On December 16, the Indonesian energy
firm EMP Kangean signed four gas sales agreements with PLN,
state oil company Pertamina, state gas company PGN and
private Indonesian gas supplier Indogas Kriya Dwiguna. In
the wake of three rounds of national immunizations, new
polio cases in Indonesian have fallen from an average of 10
a month from April to August to an average of two per month
from October to December. On December 20, State Minister of
Environment Rachmat Witoelar announced that the GOI would
provide USD 11 million in "Special Allocation Funds" (DAK)
for 330 regencies and cities for environmental programs.
During the December 12-14 ASEAN Business Forum, President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Russian President Vladimir
Putin agreed to develop a commercial satellite launch
facility in Biak, Papua. The Indonesian subsidiary of the
U.S. company Sara Lee announced on December 19 that it would
move production of its well-known Kiwi brand shoe polish
from France to Indonesia to reduce labor costs. End
Summary.
Markets Strengthen after Cabinet Reshuffle
--------------------------------------------
¶2. The Indonesian rupiah strengthened in December following
a December 5 cabinet reshuffle that included the appointment
of former Finance Minister Boediono as the new Coordinating
Minister for the Economy and the promotion of State Minister
for National Development Planning Sri Mulyani Indrawati to
the Finance Ministry. Analysts said the rupiah benefited
from capital inflows into the bond and stock markets
following the appointment of the two well-respected
technocrats. From December 6-30, the rupiah strengthened by
2 percent to close at Rp 9,840/USD on December 29.
Jakarta's benchmark stock index rallied strongly in the wake
of the reshuffle, rising 6 percent from December to the end
of the year, closing at 1,162 on December 29.
Inflation Down Slightly In December
------------------------------------
¶3. Indonesia's inflation rate fell in December for the first
time in seven months after the state oil company Pertamina
cut fuel costs and food prices stabilized. The Central
Bureau of Statistics (BPS) announced on January 2 that
consumer prices fell 0.04 percent month-on-month (MoM) in
December, with the YoY increase remaining at a very high
17.1 percent. Food prices showed the greatest MoM decline.
On December 6, Bank Indonesia (BI) raised the target rate
for the benchmark 1-month SBI by 50 bps to 12.75 percent in
a move to dampen inflationary pressures. The hike was
smaller than many analysts expected, prompting speculation
that BI may opt for smaller but more frequent rate
increases. BI Governor Burhanuddin Abdullah said on
December 6 that BI would likely maintain a tight monetary
policy bias until 2007.

Government Swaps High-Yield Bonds
---------------------------------
¶6. On December 12, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) took
advantage of renewed foreign investor interest in rupiah
bonds by swapping Rp 5.7 trillion (USD 579 million) of bonds
maturing in 2007-9 and yielding 10-14 percent into 15-year
bonds yielding 14.5 percent. The MOF has been gradually
reprofiling its bond portfolio since 2002 through buybacks
and swaps for longer duration bonds. Twenty eight percent
of Indonesia's Rp 400 trillion (USD 40 billion) rupiah bond
portfolio matures between 2007 and 2009. Under a similar
program in 2002, the MOF extended by about 10 years the
maturity of Rp 170 trillion (USD 17 billion) in bonds, a
third of outstanding domestic government debt at that time.
Unlike the 2002 reprofiling, done on a bilateral basis with
mostly state banks, the MOF conducted the December 2005
through the market.
GOI Extends Shrimp Import Ban
-----------------------------
¶7. Ministry of Trade (MOT) Director General for
International Trade Diah Maulida announced on December 27
that the GOI would extend a shrimp import ban initially
scheduled to expire on December 28, 2005. The Ministry
announced the decision was made following a December 26
meeting between the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of
Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and Marine Affairs and
stakeholders in Jakarta. on December 26. The GOI MOT first
instituted the shrimp import ban on December 28, 2004 to
prevent contaminated shrimp and shrimp disease from entering
into Indonesia. The MOT later renewed the ban was later
renewed on January 26, 2005 and specifically limited its
application to three species of shrimp: frozen and non-
frozen shrimp of the vaname, monodon, and stylirostris
species (HS codes 0306.13.00.00, 0306.23, and
0306.23.30.00). Press reports suggested that the move was
part of a GOI government effort to combat rampant shrimp
transshipments through Indonesia to the United States.
GOI Implements Coal Export Tax
------------------------------
¶8. Coordinating Minister for the Economy Boediono agreed on
December 21 to implement Ministry of Finance Decree
No.95/2005 on a coal export tax. Under the decree, the GOI
will subject all coal exports to a five percent tax (on an
ad valorem basis) regardless of export price. Boediono also
recommended that the MOF implement the coal export tax in
combination with an accelerated VAT reimbursement program.
The Indonesian Coal Mining Association (ICMA) expressed
disappointment with the decision but said that it would not
influence its 2006 production target of 175 million tons.
The ICMA foresees continued strong demand next year with
prices ranging between USD 45 to 50 per ton.
Indonesia's First Nuclear Power Plant?
--------------------------------------
¶9. State electricity company PLN signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) on December 13 with Korea Electric Power
Corporation (KEPCO) and Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co.
(KHNP) to conduct a feasibility study for a nuclear power
plant in Indonesia. The study will assess the cost,
location, licensing and security for a 1000 megawatt nuclear
plant. The National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) conducted
its own feasibility study of nuclear plant sites in 2000-
2005 and determined possible plant locations near Java's
five major cities (Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Jogyakarta,
and Semarang). Indonesia's National Energy Blueprint calls
for the inauguration of nuclear power generation by 2017 and
sets the goal of deriving almost 2 percent of Indonesia's
energy from nuclear sources by 2025. Separately, Minister
of Energy and Mineral Resources Purnomo Yusgiantoro visited
France earlier in the month to observe operations at the
Penly nuclear facility.
Gas Supply Contract Signing
---------------------------
¶10. EMP Kangean Ltd., a subsidiary of the Indonesian oil and
gas firm Energi Mega Persada (EMP), signed Gas Sales
Agreements with PLN, Pertamina, state gas company PGN, and
the private Indonesian gas supplier PT Indogas Kriya Dwiguna
on December 16. The total contract volumes are 642.3
trillion British Thermal Units (BTU) over a 2 to 16 year
period with a combined value reportedly worth at least USD
1.9 billion. EMP Kangean Ltd. Operates the Kangean block
offshore East Java. Once at full production in late 2007,
the block will supply the East Java market, including PLN's
Gresik and Grati power plants.

Polio Infection Rates Decline
-----------------------------
¶11. The incidence of polio infections in Indonesia declined
noticeably since the first case in April 2005, following
three rounds of National Immunization Days (NID). The
number of new polio cases fell sharply, from an average of
10 per month in the April-August time period to an average
of two per month from October to December. The two new
cases in December occurred in Tanggamus, Lampung, and
Sumenep, East Java. The MOH reported no new cases in West
Java and Banten provinces, both of which had been the sites
of significant outbreaks in April and May 2005. The
Ministry of Health (MOH) reported in December that there
were 295 cases of polio from April to December 2005 in 10
provinces: Banten (161), West Java (59), Lampung (25),
Central Java (20), North Sumatra (10), South Sumatra (5),
East Java (5), Jakarta (4), Aceh (3), and Riau (3). The
latest onset was on November 10, 2005.
¶12. Many observers consider the third NID on November 30,
2005 a success since they reached an estimated 98 percent of
targeted children (those under five years old). However,
there were low vaccination rates in the remote provinces of
Papua (50.3 percent of 144,000 targeted children), West
Irian (73.8 percent of 65,000), and North Maluku (86.4
percent of 84,000). Nonetheless, there have been no
reports so far of polio cases in these areas. Minister of
Health Siti Fadilah Supari explained December 16 that the
MOH finds it difficult to access these remote areas due to a
lack of funding for transportation. The GOI plans to hold
an immunization mop up on January 30th in the Provinces of
Banten, East Java, Lampung, North Sumatra, and South
Sumatra. In addition, at the WHO's urging, the GOI plans a
fourth NID for February 27, 2006. A fifth NID has been
proposed for April 2006, but the MOH has not yet confirmed
it.
¶13. President Director of PT Bio Farma Marzuki Abdullah
said that in line with a World Health Organization (WHO)
recommendation, the MOH used monovalen vaccines in polio
endemic areas in the third round. Endemic areas include the
island of Java, and Lampung and South Sumatra provinces. PT
Bio Farma provided 19.8 million doses of monovalen polio
vaccines for the third round.
GOI Launches Environment Fund for Regions
-----------------------------------------
¶14. On December 20, State Minister of Environment Rachmat
Witoelar announced that for the first time, the GOI would
provide "Special Allocation Funds" (DAK) in the 2006 budget
to help selected local governments in 30 provinces conserve
their natural resources and implement environmental
programs. Witoelar said the Ministry of Finance would
allocate a total of Rp 112.5 billion (USD 11.2 million) in
2006, and would distribute the funds to 330 cities and
regencies that allocate less that Rp 50 million (USD 5,100)
each for the environment. The funds are intended to enhance
the capacity of cities and regencies to implement
sustainable development principles.
¶15. Ministry of Environment Executive Secretary Arief Yuwono
explained that in FY 2006, the MOE would prioritize
improving river water quality. Each of the eligible cities
or regencies would receive between Rp 300 million (USD
30,000) and Rp 1.7 billion (USD 173,000) for the restoration
and monitoring of rivers. Yuwono noted that around 100
municipalities and three provinces (Jakarta, Riau, and East
Kalimantan) would not receive any funds since they have
sufficient funds for environmental management. Some
observers stated that they believe the amount of the funds
is inadequate for rehabilitating the significant percentage
of Indonesia's rivers considered heavily polluted (as much
as 89 percent according to one environmental NGO). The
environmental funds represent only one percent of the Rp 10
trillion (USD 1 billion) Special Allocation Funds designated
for education, agriculture, health, maritime, fisheries, and
infrastructure construction in FY 2006. According to press
reports, the MOF disbursed the funds on January 2, 2006.
Indonesian-Russian Satellite Launch Facility
--------------------------------------------
¶16. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Russian
President Vladimir Putin reportedly agreed to develop a
satellite and commercial rocket launch services facility in
Biak, Papua, during a meeting on the margins of the December
12-14 ASEAN Business Forum in Kuala Lumpur. The two
presidents agreed to sign an MOU in January 2006 calling for
a first satellite launch in 2007 and establishing a joint
venture to operate the launch facility. Director of Central
