PBC businesses cover nearly all sectors of the formal economy. It is a professionally-run organization headed by a full-time chief executive officer. The PBC is a not-for-profit entity, registered under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984. Though it is not required under the law to do so, the PBC follows to the greatest extent possible, the Code of Corporate Governance as applicable to listed companies. The PBC is a pan-industry advocacy group. It is not a trade body nor does it advocate for any specific business sector. Rather, its key advocacy thrust is on easing barriers to allow Pakistani businesses to compete in regional and global arenas. The PBC conducts research and holds conferences and seminars to facilitate the flow of relevant information to all stakeholders in order to help create an informed view on the major issues faced by Pakistan. The PBC works closely with the relevant government departments, ministries, regulators and institutions, as well as other stakeholders including professional bodies, to develop consensus on major issues which impact the conduct of business in and from Pakistan. The PBC has submitted key position papers and recommendations to the government on legislation and other government policies affecting businesses. It also serves on various taskforces and committees of the Government of Pakistan as well as those of the State Bank, SECP and other regulators with the objective to provide policy assistance on new initiatives and reforms. THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA = COUNTRY PROFILE v THE PBC’S FOUNDING OBJECTIVES The major objectives of the PBC as stated in its founding documents are: • To provide for the formation and exchange of views on any question connected with the conduct of business in and from Pakistan. • To conduct, organize, set up, administer and manage campaigns, surveys, focus groups, workshops, seminars and field works for carrying out research and raising awareness in regard to matters affecting businesses in Pakistan. • To acquire, collect, compile, analyze, publish and provide statistics, data analysis and other information relating to businesses of any kind, nature or description and on opportunities for such businesses within and outside Pakistan. • To promote and facilitate the integration of businesses in Pakistan into the World economy and to encourage in the development and growth of Pakistani multinationals. • To interact with governments in the economic development of Pakistan and to facilitate, foster and further the economic, social and human resource development of Pakistan. More information on the PBC, its members, and its workings, can be found on its website: www.pbc.org.pk vi THE PBC’S MEMBER COMPANIES THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA = COUNTRY PROFILE vii viii Executive Summary The Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia) is the world’s largest archipelago with more than 17,000 islands, located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It shares borders with Malaysia, Singapore, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Australia. The total land area of Indonesia is 1.91 million km2, in addition it has an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 6.01 million km2. The country is rich in natural resources including; petroleum products, tin, natural gas, nickel, timber, bauxite, copper, coal, gold, silver, and a fertile soil. It has a total population of 263.99 million, of which 40.24% are of Javanese ethnicity. About 87.20% of the population are Muslims who mostly speak Bahasa Indonesia, English and the Dutch language. Indonesia has a young workforce; around 42.40% of the people are in the age group of 25-55 years, while only 15.59% people are more than 55 years old. Indonesians are descendants of Austronesian people who are thought to have migrated from Taiwan around 2000 BCE. Early kingdoms in the region fought over the spice trade, control of waterways and land routes. These kingdoms brought Hinduism and Buddhism along with Javanese art and culture, which is depicted in ancient temples, to the Indonesian islands. Java was famous for nutmeg, cloves and cubeb pepper; this attracted Muslim traders who dominated the European markets. Muslim traders introduced Islam in the region and by the 16th century, Islam was widely followed. Portuguese were the first Europeans who arrived in Java in search of spices. Later, the Dutch Parliament granted a trading licence to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to set-up trading posts across the Indonesian archipelago. In no time, VOC conquered the smaller kingdoms and established its rule. Following bankruptcy, the VOC was formally dissolved in 1800, and the government of Netherlands established a colony called the Dutch East Indies. During World War II, the Japanese invasion and occupation of the Dutch East Indies ended Dutch rule. This encouraged a previously suppressed Indonesian independence movement to rekindle. When the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, nationalist leader – Sukarno – declared independence and became president. However, the Netherlands, through the United Nations, tried to re-establish its rule which resulted in an armed and diplomatic struggle that ended in December 1949 when the Netherlands recognized Indonesian independence. Indonesia was the most affected country by the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-99. The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) depreciated significantly against the US Dollar (USD) which caused Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) outflows, hyperinflation and high unemployment. However, strong macroeconomic policies attracted foreign investments that revived economic growth and helped Indonesia become a trillion-dollar economy. In 2017, the Indonesian economy grew by 5.07% to a GDP of USD 1,015.54 billion. It registered an annual inflation rate of 3.81% and unemployment of 4.18%. Currently, the services sector is the largest contributor to GDP – 47.49%, followed by industry – 39.37%, and agriculture – 13.14%. The Indonesian government, through its national plan ‘Making Industry 4.0’, is focusing on pushing the country to the top- 10 economies of the world by 2030. The ‘Making Industry 4.0’ entails digital transformation in various industries to improve high technology exports. THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA = COUNTRY PROFILE ix In 2017, manufacturing, services and the mining sector attracted investments worth USD 13.10 billion, USD 13.00 billion and USD 4.40 billion, respectively. Top foreign investors in 2017 included Singapore – USD 8.40 billion, followed by Japan – USD 5.00 billion, and China – USD 3.40 billion. Through interest rate tax cuts for exporters, energy tariff cuts for labour-intensive industries, tax incentives for investments in special economic zones and a reduction in tax rates on property acquired by local real estate investment trusts, the government has managed to improve the business environment by reducing risk. As the 16th largest economy in the world, Indonesia is heavily reliant on bilateral trade for economic growth. Trade contributed 39.54% to the GDP, with total exports of USD 168.81 billion versus imports of USD 156.93 billion – resulting in a trade surplus of USD 11.89 billion in 2017. Indonesia’s top three export partners were China, the USA and Japan which accounted for 34.74% of total exports, whereas top three import partners were China, Singapore and Japan which shared 43.27% in total imports. Top exports included palm oil, coal, petroleum gas, crude petroleum and rubber, while top imports were refined petroleum, crude petroleum, telephone sets, and vehicle parts. The table below shows economic indicators for Indonesia and Pakistan for the year 2017. Both the countries have the same GDP growth rate (around 5%), unemployment (4%), and inflation (4%). Although Pakistan and Indonesia belong to the lower-middle income countries, Pakistan’s economy, with a GDP of USD 304.95 billion, is one-third of Indonesia’s economy. An Indonesian citizen has a higher purchasing power with a GDP per capita of USD 3,846.86, whereas a Pakistani consumer has a GDP per capita of USD 1,547.85. Pakistan’s foreign direct investment net inflows of USD 2.82 billion were around 10.00% of Indonesia’s net inflows

  • Historical Scholarship Between South Asia and Europe
    Java’s Mongol Demon. Inscribing the Horse Archer into the Epic History of Majapahit1 Jos Gommans Abstract The temple of Panataran near Blitar in Java features a unique scene in which one of the Ramayana demons, Indrajit, is depicted as a Mongol mounted horse-warrior. This essay explores the meaning of this representation on the basis of the multi- layered history and historiography of Java’s Mongol invasion. “Everything that happened in the Ramayana was absolutely real.” Maheshvaratirtha, sixteenth century (cited in Pollock 1993: 279) Panataran Temple Walking anti-clockwise around the base of the main terrace at Panataran Tem- ple, twelve kilometres north-east of Blitar in Java, the visitor is treated to the truly remarkable display of 106 relief panels carved with sequential scenes from the story of the Ramayana – the source of this particular series is the Kakawin version, which almost certainly dates from the ninth century CE, making it the earliest surviving work of Old Javanese poetry. Interestingly, the main charac- ter in this pictorial rendering is not the more customary figure of Rama, the exiled king, but instead his loyal monkey companion Hanuman. However, given the popularity of Hanuman in the Indic world in around the time the Panataran panels were made – the mid-fourteenth century – his prominence is perhaps not all that surprising after all (Lutgendorf 2007). Except for Hanu- man’s unusual role, the panels follow the conventional narrative, starting with the abduction of Rama’s wife Sita by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Many of the panels depict Hanuman’s heroic fights with demons (rakshasas), and the first series of battles culminates in panel 55, which shows Hanuman being attacked by Ravana’s son Indrajit.

  • BAB II DESKRIPSI OBYEK PENELITIAN A. Dari Singasari
    BAB II DESKRIPSI OBYEK PENELITIAN A. Dari Singasari Sampai PIM Sejarah singkat berdirinya kerajaan Majapahit, penulis rangkum dari berbagai sumber. Kebanyakan dari literatur soal Majapahit adalah hasil tafsir, interpretasi dari orang per orang yang bisa jadi menimbulkan sanggahan di sana- sini. Itulah yang penulis temui pada forum obrolan di dunia maya seputar Majapahit. Masing-masing pihak merasa pemahamannyalah yang paling sempurna. Maka dari itu, penulis mencoba untuk merangkum dari berbagai sumber, memilih yang sekiranya sama pada setiap perbedaan pandangan yang ada. Keberadaan Majapahit tidak bisa dilepaskan dari kerajaan Singasari. Tidak hanya karena urutan waktu, tapi juga penguasa Majapahit adalah para penguasa kerajaan Singasari yang runtuh akibat serangan dari kerajaan Daha.1 Raden Wijaya yang merupakan panglima perang Singasari kemudian memutuskan untuk mengabdi pada Daha di bawah kepemimpinan Jayakatwang. Berkat pengabdiannya pada Daha, Raden Wijaya akhirnya mendapat kepercayaan penuh dari Jayakatwang. Bermodal kepercayaan itulah, pada tahun 1292 Raden Wijaya meminta izin kepada Jayakatwang untuk membuka hutan Tarik untuk dijadikan desa guna menjadi pertahanan terdepan yang melindungi Daha.2 Setelah mendapat izin Jayakatwang, Raden Wijaya kemudian membabat hutan Tarik itu, membangun desa yang kemudian diberi nama Majapahit. Nama 1 Esa Damar Pinuluh, Pesona Majapahit (Jogjakarta: BukuBiru, 2010), hal. 7-14. 2 Ibid., hal. 16. 29 Majapahit konon diambil dari nama pohon buah maja yang rasa buahnya sangat pahit. Kemampuan Raden Wijaya sebagai panglima memang tidak diragukan. Sesaat setelah membuka hutan Tarik, tepatnya tahun 1293, ia menggulingkan Jayakatwang dan menjadi raja pertama Majapahit. Perjalanan Majapahit kemudian diwarnai dengan beragam pemberontakan yang dilakukan oleh para sahabatnya yang merasa tidak puas atas pembagian kekuasaannya. Sekali lagi Raden Wijaya membuktikan keampuhannya sebagai seorang pemimpin.

  • FLAG of MONACO - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF MONACO - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia Apart from aspect ratio, the flag of Monaco is identical to the flag of Indonesia. Technical Specification Adopted: 1881 Proportion: 4:5 Design: A bi-colour in red and white, from top to bottom Colours: PMS: Red: 032 C CMYK: Red: 0% Cyan, 90% Magenta, 86% Yellow, 0% Black Brief History Monaco used to be a colony of the Italian city-state Genoa. A small isolated country between the mountains and the sea with one castle on the Rock of Monaco, overlooking the entire country. Francesco Grimaldi disguised himself and his men as Franciscan monks and infiltrated the castle to take control. It was not long before Genoan forces succeeded in ousting him. Later his descendents simply bought the castle and the realm from Genoa and turned it into a principality. At this point the flag of Genoa was the St. George’s flag. They allowed England, for a fee, to fly their flag so they could use their sea and ports to trade. The Monaco Coat of Arms has represented the country for as long as the Grimaldi dynasty has been in power, since the early 15th Century. Although the design has changed gradually over the years, the key elements have remained the same. The motto, 'Deo Juvante' is Latin for 'With God's Help'. This coat of arms today serves as the state flag. St George’s Flag of Genoa The Coat of Arms of Monaco The colours on the shield, red and white in a pattern known as 'lozengy argent and gules' in heraldic terms, are the national colours.

  • Analysis of Distribution Pattern of Rice Commodity in East Java
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.7, No.8, 2016 Analysis of Distribution Pattern of Rice Commodity in East Java Susilo Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Brawijaya Abstract Rice has strategic roles in stabilizing food stability, economic stability, and politic stability of a nation. Food distribution is one of the food stabilities sub-system whose role is very strategic, thus if it cannot be implemented well and smoothly, it will cause inadequate food availibality needed by society.This research attempts to find out and to analyze the rice distribution pattern from surplus regions with rice commodity to the deficit regions located in East Java. The data used in this research were the data obtained from Central Buerau of Statistics of East Java in 2010-2014. The analysis method were descriptive statistics, DLQ (Dinamic Location Quotient), and Gravitation Spatial Analysis. The results confirmed that the central regions of rice in East Java were found in some regencies, such as:Banyuwangi, Mojokerto, Pasuruan, Malang, Madiun, Bojonegoro, Ngawi, Lumajang, Lamongan, and Jember. The rice commodity of Malang was city supplied from Malang and Pasuruan. The number of rice surplus in Malang could only fulfill the needs of rice in Malang city. However, the number of the rice still did not cover yet the deficit of rice in Malang city, so it needed more supplies from Pasuruan. The needs of rice in Kediri city and Batu city were supplied from Mojokerto regency and Pasuruan regency. Finally, in order to fulfill the needs of rice in Madiun city, it could be supplied from Madiun city, and for Surabaya city, it could be supplied from Lamongan regency.

  • (Un) Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia : a Contested Arena / Verena Beittinger-Lee
    (Un)Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia (Un)Civil Society and Political Change in Indonesia provides a critical ana- lysis of Indonesia’s civil society and its impact on the country’s democratiza- tion efforts that not only takes the classical, pro-democratic actors of civil society into account but also portrays uncivil groups and their growing influ- ence on political processes. Beittinger-Lee offers a revised categorization of civil society, including a model to define the sphere of ‘uncivil society’ more closely and to identify several subcategories of uncivil society. This is the first book to portray various uncivil groups in Indonesia, ranging from vigilantes, militias, paramilitaries, youth groups, civil security task forces and militant Islamic (and other reli- gious) groups, ethnonationalist groups to terrorist organizations and groups belonging to organized crime. Moreover, it provides the reader with an over- view of Indonesia’s history, its political developments after the democratic opening, main improvements under the various presidents since Suharto’s fall, constitutional amendments and key reforms in human rights legislation. This book will be of interest to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and academics in political science and Southeast Asian studies. Verena Beittinger-Lee obtained her PhD from the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the Alexander von Humboldt University in Berlin in 2007 and now works at a law firm in New York. Routledge Studies on Civil Society in Asia Series Editor: Mark Sidel, University of Iowa, USA.
