You are able to fetch the most recent presentations on the Indonesian Central Bank’s Recent Economic Developments dated June 2010, April 2010, March 2010, February 2010, and January 2010. The February 2010 full edition comes with a section on Economic Outlook for 2010. Below is a quick description of the content of the most recent edition.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Preview (June 2010 edition)

The economy grew by 5.7% in Q1-2010 and forecasted to grow within the range of 5.5% – 6.0% by the end of 2010. In 2011, the economic growth predicted to climb to 6.0%-6.5%.

Economic data up to end of Q1-2010 supported us to believe that the economy, in line with the development in the global economy, is moving toward better development than we previously expected on the beginning of this year. The optimism also supported by latest development in the perception indicators such as yield spread, sovereign rating, CDS, CRC – OECD, etc. On the backdrops, Bank Indonesia revised economic growth outlook for 2010 and 2011 to be consecutively within the range of 5.5 – 6.0% and 6.0 – 6.5%.

The latest Board of Governors’ Meeting of Bank Indonesia convened in June 2010, resolved to hold the BI Rate at the level of 6.50%. This decision follows a comprehensive evaluation of the latest developments and outlook for the economy, which is showing steady over all improvement. After concluding that the BI Rate at this level is on track with achievement of the 5% ± 1% inflation target for 2010 and 2011 and is conducive to measures for bolstering the economic recovery process. The decision is also consistent with actions to safeguard domestic financial stability amid escalating risks of uncertainty from the debt crisis now besetting Greece and a number of other European nations.

Prices held steady with inflationary pressure during May 2010 at subdued levels. CPI inflation reached 0.29% (mtm) with the annual rate 4.16% (yoy), ahead of the 0.15% (mtm) or 3.91% (yoy) level recorded one month earlier. Prices increases in May we redriven mainly by inflation involatile foods following disruptions in supply and distribution. In contrast, inflationary pressure from administered prices remain slow.

In the financial sector, the banking system sustained at stable condition and the banking intermediation function are improving. Banking system stability in Indonesia is sufficiently robust to anticipate contagion from the debt crisis in Europe . This is borne out in the high CAR for the banking system, reported in the most recent data at 19.2%, in addition to the comfortably safe level of NPLs gross at less than 5%. Improvement in the bank intermediation function is reflected in the 17.6% (yoy) credit growth recorded at end-May 2010. At this level, credit growth remains with in the bounds of the planned lending set out in the Bank Business Plans and is consistent with the growing confidence of economic actors in the improving economic outlook.

Balance of payments charted another surplus at a robust US$6.6 billion in Q1-2010, marking significant improvement over the Q4-2009 surplus (US$4.0billion). Key to the up beat performance was both surpluses in the current account and the capital & financial account. The current account registered a US$1.6 billion surplus, down from the Q4-2009 surplus at US$ 3.6 billion, which explained primarily by a down turn in the balance of trade caused by rising imports of oil and gas as well as non-oil and gas. The capital and financial account registered a US$4.3 billion surplus, up significantly from the Q4/2009 surplus of US$ 1.3 billion explained by its vigorous performance indirect investment and portfolio investments.

Balance of payments recorded another surplus despite the heightened risks on global financial markets. The current account posted a sizeable surplus. However, the capital and financial account surplus narrowed slightly due to portfolio capital out flows triggered by negative sentiment on global financial mrkets in response to the Greek debt crisis, in addition to Indonesia ‘s official external debt servicing obligations. As a result, international reserves at 31 May 2010 are recorded at 74.6 billion US dollars, equivalent to 5.87 months of imports and servicing of official external debt.

The average value of Rupiah in Q1-2010 strengthened by 2.2% as a result of a more robust balance of payments, declining risk perceptions and attractive yields. Entering Q2-2010, Rupiah weakened which was driven by foreign capital outflows. During May 2010, on average, Rupiah fell 1.52% to IDR9.167 against USD yet still on Q2-2010 range projections at IDR8.700 -IDR9.300 against USD. The pressure on Rupiah was mainly caused by sentiment factors associated with the Greek crisis. Meanwhile, fundamentals are stable, which reflected in the sound balance of payment performance.

The parliament on 3rdMay 2010 approved the government‘s proposal of 2010 revised budget. The revision is perceived as a necessary measure to adjust the current economic conditions especially changes in the macroeconomic assumptions. The revised budget increased deficit from 1.6 to 2.1%, in order to contain increasing subsidies figures due to rising commodity prices mainly from oil, and lower tax revenue in line with addition in tax incentives program.

“It is realistic projection amidst uncertain global economic recovery marked by debt crisis and fiscal deficit in a number of European countries and economic slowdown in the United States and several other industrialized countries,” he said when delivering the government`s replies to the House of Representatives (DPR) factions` general views on the draft 2011 state budget.

The economic growth forecast of 6.3 percent would chiefly be fueled by domestic demand and supply, he said.

With the 2011 economic growth rate projected at 6.3 percent, the government expected to cap the next year`s inflation rate under its target rate of 5.3 percent, he said.

The inflation forecast was based on the consideration that robust economic activities would be followed by increased production capacity in line with growing investment inflows, he said.

In setting the inflation target of 5.3 percent for 2011, the government also had taken into account potential inflationary pressures triggered by the limited policy to adjust administered prices, he said.

The government would keep taking necessary steps to increase economic growth by among others boosting economic growth factors, particularly investment, public consumption, government consumption and exports, he said.

Efforts to attract more investment would be made by creating a conducive climate and speeding up development of infrastructure facilities, he said.

In the draft 2011 state budget, the government also has set the target of the rupiah`s exchange rate against the US dollar at Rp9,300 per dollar, crude oil price at US$80 per barrel, oil lifting at 970 thousand barrels per day, and interest on Bank Indonesia Certificates (SBI) at 6.5 percent for three-month deposits.

“Right now, namely in the first semester of this year, they have already grown 18 percent year-on-year. So I predict they may grow by up to 14 percent. Imports are more difficult to predict but they may grow 12 to 14 percent,” she said after attending a coordination meting with Bank Indonesia here on Monday.

She said although the trade surplus would drop due to increasing imports it would be compensated for in the next six months.

“It usually happens when imports are rising and exports will then also rise in an around six month period,” she said.

She said the growth of exports of several prime commodities was quite high including textile and textile products, electronic and automotive products.

“We are optimistic if no sharp downturn happens everything will be okey. It is because exports of products have all recorded high growth including not only commodities but also exlectronic, automotive and textile and textile products. The growth of textile and textile product exports was 26 percent in the first semester. It was the highest in the past five years. Footwear exports are also high,” she said.

She said the growth of exports of plantation commodities such as rubber was also high reaching almost 60 percent driven by a good price.

A textile factory in Yogyakarta, Java.

Jakarta. Indonesia’s textile and textile product exports grew by 17.4 percent in the first semester of this year, Deputy Trade Minister Mahendra Siregar said here on Thursday.

He said the country’s exports of textile and textile products reached US$4.95 billion in the period.

If the trend could be maintained, he believed exports of the products could by the end of the year exceed US$10 billion like in 2008.

Exports of textile and textile products grew 8.7 percent in 2009 and rose significantly by 17.4 percent in the first semester of this year, he said.

He said US$10 billion would be a very high figure considering that the country`s main textile and textile product markets were not growing significantly.

The main markets for Indonesia’s textile and textile products had remained in developed countries such as the US, Japan and Germany.

“They remain our most important markets because we will also be exporting high quality products to those countries,” he said.

He said South Korea, Turkey, China and Brazil had also become potential markets in 2010 as “the numbers of rich people there are growing,” he said.

The value of the country`s textiles and textile product exports has kept growing since 2005.

According to trade ministry data, the value of textile and textile product exports in 2005 reached US$8.60 billion and the figure rose to US$9.45 billion in 2006 and to US$9.81 in 2007.

In 2008, it increased further to US$10.14 billion but then dropped to US$9.26 billion in 2009.

This year the country’s exports of textile and textile products were expected to rise again to at least the same level as in 2008.

“Our foreign exchange reserves have of late increased sharply and now they reach more than US$80 billion,” Bank Indonesia Deputy Governor Muliaman D. Hadad said after inducting Muhamad Junaifin as chief of the central bank`s office in West Nusa Tenggara replacing Tri Dharma.

The increase in foreign exchange reserves indicated that the Indonesian economy continued to improve amidst global economic downturn, he said.

The country`s financial condition remained good, helped by the stable banking system and the banking industry`s improved intermediary function, he said.

The foreign exchange reserves were enough to finance imports and repay the government`s foreign debts for 5.87 months, he said.

He expressed optimism the foreign exchange reserves would continue to increase in line with a recent rise in foreign capital inflows which also had an impact on the rupiah`s appreciation against the dollar.

“The trend is expected to continue until the next 3 to 4 years because of unfavorable prospects for the developed nations` economies,” he said.

He said regional governments needed to prepare basic infrastructures to attract the foreign capital inflows.

“If they are long-term investment they will contribute more to the national economy because there will be large projects, he said.

For the many Gods: Hindus celebrate Bale Paselang, a major religious festival, at Sibetan’s largest temple Pura Pasar Agung.

His friends and relatives in Sibetan village, Karangasem, know him as a transgender and simply call him Kadek.

Last Sunday, Kadek and thousands of Hindus attended Bale Paselang, a major religious festival at Sibetan’s largest temple, Pura Pasar Agung.

Because the temple lies atop a small hill, the crowd had to navigate along a muddy, narrow road  blanketed with cold mist.

Having waited for years for that festival — the last one was held 32 years ago, Kadek trekked along the path with burning enthusiasm.

He wore a traditional Balinese male costume, including udeng headgear, light make up, and his nails were painted glossy orange.

During the main ritual, Kadek was assigned to Bale Paselang, a six-pillar pavilion in the temple’s inner sanctum, and the main focus of the temple festival. There, he assisted High Priestess Ida Pedanda Istri Karang in preparing the offerings and the ritual paraphernalia.

“Finally I could contribute my energy and time to this religious festival. The fact that I was tasked with assisting the officiating high priest has clearly improved my social standing as a transgender,” he said.

His main task, and the one he was most proud of, involved  decorating and dressing up the three statues inside the pavilion. Those statues represented the physical manifestations of the visiting gods. One was clearly a statue of a god, and the other one of a goddess. The most interesting statue was the third one, that of a god dressed in a woman’s costume. The statue also wore make-up.

Twilight: Inside the temple a statue of Lord Siwa with a female faces the offerings.

For Kadek, the third statue was some sort of divine confirmation that transgenders have a place in the divine arrangement of the universe.

“I first found out about the existence of this ‘transgender’ deity two years ago when I visited the High Priestess’ house to learn about offerings,” he recalled.

Prior to the commencement of the temple festival, Kadek often visited the High Priestess’ house and spent time helping the local women make offerings for Bale Paselang. This had won him many friends and support.

“The essence of the Bale Paselang temple festival is love. It is also held to commemorate the time when the gods descended upon this earth to help mankind,” High Priestess Ida Pedanda Istri Karang said.

A noted Hindu scholar and executive member of the Hindu council, I Ketut Wiana, attended the ritual and believed the age-old festival offered important contemporary value.

“It is about gender equality and mainstreaming, about a harmonious and equal relationship between man and woman,” he said.

Wiana pointed out the third statue as the local interpretation of Ardhanariswara, an ultimate form of Lord Siwa, half god and half goddess.

Then he gazed at a sheet of white cloth that bore the images of  Semara and Ratih hung in the Bale Paselang. In Balinese Hinduism, not one, but two divine beings are responsible for love and the spreading of love: the immortal couple of Semara and Ratih.

One of the highlights of the Bale Paselang festival was Majejiwa, during which a group of adherents performed a ritual enacting the dialogue between Semara and Ratih.

“All those symbols, offerings and ritual movements send us a clear message that man and woman complement each other and that only through an equal and mutually beneficial cooperation will they be able to achieve their objectives,” Wiana added.

Toward the end of the ritual, Kadek regretted not having brought a camera to record the festival.

“I want to document this festival and later on share pictures and the meaning [of this festival] with my transgender friends. A large number of transgenders in Bali are still hiding their gender orientation from their families,” he said.

Kadek once worked for GAYa Dewata, an NGO focusing on advocacy work targeting gay, lesbian and transgender communities in Bali. Now, he works for a government-run regional body for women and children’s protection in Karangasem.

The Bale Paselang temple festival was a revelation for Kadek.

“I never asked for this male physique. I know that in my soul, I am a woman,” he said.

A Sibetan farmer, I Ketut Patra, eloquently defined Kadek Astika/Dewi’s existence in the following way:

“There is day and there is night. Kadek is the twilight, and we all have to live with day, night and twilight on each and every single day of our existence.”
