    OECD Investment Policy Reviews INDONESIA OECD Investment Policy Reviews Indonesia has undertaken a decade of political and economic reform, under very diffi cult circumstances. Democracy is now fi rmly established, and the economy is growing at a steady pace in spite of the global fi nancial crisis. Reforms over the past decade have done much to improve the resilience of the Indonesian economy, and the INDONESIA government has made substantial progress in creating a better climate for investment. New laws have been enacted in almost all sectors, and new institutions have been created to advise the government, implement and enforce laws, regulate newly liberalised sectors and settle disputes. Foreign investors have taken notice. Foreign direct investment in Indonesia in the past fi ve years has exceeded the earlier peak achieved in 1996, before the Asian fi nancial crisis in 1997-98 brought economic contraction and net outfl ows of foreign investment. This investment is also becoming increasingly diversifi ed by sector and by country of investor. OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Indonesia charts Indonesia’s progress in developing an effective policy framework to promote investment for development. It focuses INDONESIA Reviews Policy Investment OECD on policies towards investment, competition, infrastructure, fi nance and other areas of the business environment and suggests ways the climate for both domestic and foreign investment might be further improved.

  • “Moving ASEAN Forward, Strengthening Community Building” Special Address by H.E. Le Luong Minh, Secretary General of ASEAN A
    “Moving ASEAN forward, Strengthening Community Building” Special Address by H.E. Le Luong Minh, Secretary General of ASEAN at the 10th ASEAN Leadership Forum Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; 18 July 2013 Your Hon. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi – former Prime Minister of Malaysia Your Hon. Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed – Minister of International Trade & Industry of Malaysia Mr. Tan Sri Michael Yeoh – Chairman of The 10th ASEAN Leadership Forum Distinguished Participants Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honoured to participate and address the ASEAN Leadership Forum which brings together eminent leaders from Governments, businesses, think-tanks, academic and civil societies, to deliberate on key leadership challenges and issues facing ASEAN. The theme of this year’s forum 1 “ASEAN at a crossroads: Towards a Common Future, Shared Prosperity and Regional Stability” is highly appropriate and relevant as we are only two and a half years away from the deadline for achieving an ASEAN Community in 2015 by which time, at a crossroads, ASEAN will also have to decide which direction it will take in its continued process of integration. As a reflection of the commitment of the Governments and peoples of ASEAN to Community building, we may recall that while the idea of building an ASEAN Community was reaffirmed only in 2007 by the Leaders of the Association through their Cebu Declaration, it first came about at the 9th ASEAN Summit back in 2003, and the signing of the ASEAN Charter constituted another landmark. The Charter reaffirmed ASEAN’s vision of and commitment to the ASEAN Community as one of peace and stability and shared prosperity and progress.

  • Dear Bapak Mahendra
    25 August 2020 His Excellency Mr Mahendra Siregar Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Foreign Affairs Jl Taman Pejambon 6 Jakarta 10110 Dear Bapak Mahendra, Thank you for meeting me yesterday. I found the discussion insightful and valuable; it highlighted for me the breadth of the positive agenda on which the UK and Indonesia are engaged, from bilateral trade through to key global security issues we are addressing together at the UN Security Council. As we discussed during the call, I am writing to you with more information on how we would like to take forward close and transparent consultation with Indonesia on proposed UK legislation on due diligence in agricultural commodity supply chains. As I noted during our meeting, in July 2019, the Global Resource Initiative Taskforce – an independent group of senior business, finance, government and civil society leaders – was convened by the UK Government to recommend actions to support sustainable supply chains, livelihoods and growth. In March 2020, the group made several recommendations, including that the UK introduce a requirement on businesses trading in the UK to undertake due diligence on their agricultural supply chains in relation to deforestation risk. The UK Government has now considered this recommendation and is proposing to take an approach to agricultural commodity due diligence legislation which is based on ensuring that all relevant products meet the legal requirements in their country of origin. We would like to consult on this “legality-based” approach and develop this policy together with the Government of Indonesia, other international governments, businesses, industry bodies and civil society organisations, to ensure it is designed with mutual respect for existing processes, and to the mutual benefit of our joint goals on trade, growth and sustainability.

The freshness that he brought to politics was welcomed all around with immense hope. The one area that he was found to be lacking experience was in foreign policy. Here too he chose to run a new path. He started by removing the professional team of Marty Natalegawa and Dinopati Djalal. Both were career diplomats who were perceived close to the former president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, best known as SBY, but both had years to retirement. He brought in new career diplomats who were surprises to the establishment but have served him well. Ibu Retno Marsudi and Pak Abdurrahman Mohammad Fachir led the ministry in the Jokowi I term. Fachir was replaced by SBYs G20 Sherpa Mahendra Siregar in the Jokowi II Cabinet. These choices meant that Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, wanted a firm grip on the foreign policy establishment.

Preface The G-20 has commenced its activities since the inception in 1999 in Germany. However the international community only began to recognize its importance after the United States hosted the first G-20 Summit in 2008 in Washington. This first summit signaled the change of the G-20 from ministerial to summit level. The G-20 became a high profiled forum after the group’s leaders agreed to hold G-20 Summits twice a year and argued for the need to pursue urgently an agenda for rescuing the world economy from malaise. They accepted that unless they work together in close coordination and cooperation, the world economy would continue to decline. The profile of G-20 has been rocketing highly since the G-20 leaders agreed that G-20 should become the premier forum for their economic cooperation.
