Foreword The Economic Outlook for Southeast Asia, China and India - Update is released following the main report of the Outlook, to ensure that its data, projections and policy discussions remain up-to-date and relevant. Both reports focus on the economic conditions of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam) and two large economies in the region, China and India. This publication evolved from the Southeast Asian Economic Outlook. Beginning with the first release of the Update to the Outlook in June 2016, the Outlook has become a biannual publication. The 2018 Update is the first edition to be released as an independent publication. The Outlook was initially proposed at an informal reflection group on Southeast Asia in 2008 as a follow-up of the Council Meeting at Ministerial level (MCM) in 2007 and was accepted by ministers/senior officials from ASEAN countries at the occasion of the 2nd OECD-Southeast Asia Regional Forum in Bangkok in 2009. The Outlook project was officially launched in 2010 and each edition is regularly presented at the occasion of the ASEAN/ East Asia Summit. It was included in the OECD’s Southeast Asia Regional Programme (SEARP) at the Steering Group Meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia in March 2015, with its role of providing a horizontal view of activities, identifying emerging trends in the region and providing a backbone for the different streams of the Programme confirmed at the 2015 MCM. The Outlook serves as a strategic foresight and policyversion dialogue tool for the SEARP and includes summaries of recent developments in the region on issues related to the Programme’s six Regional Policy Networks and three Initiatives. This edition of the Update is comprised of two main parts: a regional economic monitor and a thematic focus specific to this year’s reports. The 2018 edition of the Update focuses on the opportunities and challenges of cross-border e-commerce in Emerging Asia. The region has seen rapid growth in e-commerce in recent years and is expected to account for a large share of the global market in the future. Ensuring that the potential benefits of this trend are realised will require governments to make improvements to connectivity, skills, digital security and consumer protection, and regional and international co-operation. The OECD Development Centre is committed to working alongside governments of developing and emerging economies and regional actors to identify key areas of intervention in order to address these challenges. The Centre enjoys the full membership of three Southeast Asian countries, namely Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam, as well as India and China. This project has also benefitted from the generous support of other Emerging Asian countries. Like other regional economic outlooks produced by the OECD Development Centre, this report was prepared in collaboration with regional partners; UNESCAP and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) contributed to the 2018 edition. The Update also benefited from discussions with the ASEAN Secretariat. The OECD is committed to supporting Asian countries in their efforts to promote economic Preliminaryand social well-being through rigorous analysis, peer learning and best practices.

  • 18Th Asian Games Success Story
    18th Asian Games Runs Faultless Secure Network The 2018 Asian Games, held in Jakarta and Palembang, enjoy secure and faultless network performance. Customer: The 18th Asian Games Industry: Sports/Entertainment Location: Jakarta, Indonesia and Palembang, South Sumatera The Challenge – Security On A Large Scale The 18th Asian Games, also known as Jakarta–Palembang 2018, was a multi-sport event held from 18 August to 2 September 2018 in Indonesia. The Asian Games are one of the world’s largest sporting events, held every four years since 1954. More than 16,000 athletes from 45 Asian countries participated in the 2018 Games. For the first time, the Asian Games were co-hosted in two cities; the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, and Palembang, the capital of the South Sumatera province. Preparation for the Games involved building new venues and renovating existing venues across four provinces in Indonesia: Jakarta, South Sumatra, Banten, and West Java. A total of 80 venues were involved, with the main stadium, Gelora Bung Karno, located in Jakarta. The Asian Games are a large-scale international event. The 2018 Games had to cater to many thousands of people—including athletes, spectators, organizers and supporters, from 45 different countries. An incredibly robust video surveillance system, along with many other security measures, was essential for both smooth operation and for the safety and security of everyone present at the Games. The Asia Olympic Committee worked with PT. NEC Indonesia (NEC Indonesia), the ICT security system partner for the 2018 Games. Their goal: to create a smart, safe and highly-efficient environment, by deploying an innovative network infrastructure alongside advanced video surveillance systems.

  • Linking Food, Nutrition and the Environment in Indonesia a Perspective on Sustainable Food Systems
    June 2021 DOI: 10.17528/cifor/008070 Linking food, nutrition and the environment in Indonesia A perspective on sustainable food systems Mulia Nurhasan1,2, Yusuf Bahtimi Samsudin1, John F McCarthy3, Lucentezza Napitupulu4, Rosita Dewi5, Dian N Hadihardjono6, Aser Rouw7, Kuntum Melati8, William Bellotti9, Rodri Tanoto10, Stuart J Campbell11, Desy Leo Ariesta1, M Hariyadi Setiawan12, Ali Khomsan13 and Amy Ickowitz1 Highlights • This brief reviews the interlinkages between food, nutrition and the environment in Indonesia, and the role of national food policies in addressing the challenges in these sectors. • While Indonesia is a mega-biodiverse country, nationally supported agricultural production programs tend to focus on a few high-value commodities, contributing to low dietary diversity. • Lessons from past food estate programs suggest that food system interventions that focus heavily on increasing monocropping, especially rice production, overlook the capacity of local people to develop their own food systems, while failing to provide healthy diets, and damaging the environment. • To move towards sustainable food systems, we argue that policies need to: focus on delivering healthy and diverse diets; support local food production practices that are environmentally sustainable; embrace local cultures and values; re-evaluate centralized and top-down policies; and avoid overly focusing on production of rice. • Policies that decentralize and localize food production can enhance resilience and the sustainability of food systems. 1 Center for

  • A New Era in EU-China Relations: More Wide- Ranging Strategic Cooperation?
    STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Policy Department for External Relations Author: Anna SAARELA EN Directorate General for External Policies of the Union DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Author: Anna SAARELA ABSTRACT China is an important strategic partner for the EU, despite fundamental divergences in some areas, mostly related to state intervention and fundamental human rights. The partnership offers mutually beneficial cooperation and dialogue in areas ranging from investment and transport to human rights and cybersecurity. China is navigating in new directions, guided by Xi Jinping's 'Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era’. Despite President Xi’s repeated avowals that 'the market will have a decisive role', public ownership remains the mainstay of the Chinese economy, whereas profound reforms would be needed to tackle the root causes of overcapacity in various industrial sectors. Xi's ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, now also included in the Constitution, is the flagship international connectivity and infrastructure programme dominated by Chinese state-owned companies. Overall, China’s crucial, but complex transition towards more sustainable growth would eventually benefit both, China and the world as a whole. Global economic interdependence, however, makes certain spill-over effects of China’s rebalancing unavoidable. China plays a pivotal role in global governance and the rules-based international order, and this comes with responsibilities. Beijing has begun to shift away from the narrow pursuit of national aims towards a more assertive foreign and security policy, and increased financial, economic and security cooperation with a global outreach.

  • Revisiting the REDD+ Experience in Indonesia Lessons from National, Subnational and Local Implementation
    CIFOR infobriefs provide concise, accurate, peer-reviewed information on current topics in forest research No. 314, December 2020 DOI: 10.17528/cifor/007880 | cifor.org Revisiting the REDD+ experience in Indonesia Lessons from national, subnational and local implementation Sandy Nofyanza, Moira Moeliono, Vivi Selviana, Bimo Dwisatrio, Nining Liswanti, Ade Ryane Tamara and Mella Komalasari Key messages • In Indonesia, early involvement and support for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) has led to numerous achievements, but progress has been slower than anticipated. • National and subnational REDD+ initiatives are susceptible to political turnover at each election cycle. To ensure its longevity, REDD+ needs to be embedded in national and regional laws, regulations, institutions and other state devices. • REDD+ institutionalization in Indonesia has focused on technicalities rather than on directly addressing socioeconomic and political drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. The rate of deforestation has decelerated enough to result in two REDD+ payments. However, transformational change in the forestry and broader land-use sector has not progressed far enough. • REDD+ is inherently multilevel and multisectoral. However, much information, action, knowledge exchange and decision making on REDD+ is concentrated within relatively few organizations. Transformational change requires that other stakeholders and sectors that impact forests get involved. Introduction announced that Indonesia would receive, as its first results-based REDD+ payment, USD 56 million for In this brief we aim to highlight several lessons from the reducing 4.8 MtCO2 emissions in 2017 against the experience of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation 2006–2016 historical baseline (Seymour, 2019). More and forest Degradation (REDD+) in Indonesia and recently, Indonesia received another performance- explore relevant opportunities for future forest-based based payment – USD 103 million from the Green climate mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

Widyasanti; Alfatihah Reno; Siim Esko; Margus Tiru; Titi Kanti Lestari Ministry of Development Planning, BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Positium LBS Abstract: Indonesia hosted ASIAN Games in 2018, which was the second time after its hosting in 1962. This paper will present the the methodology of measuring visitors to an event as well as their mobility using mobile positioning data. The data is then used as one of data input for economic impact analysis of the multi sport event. Mobile phone data is used since the immigration data can not give the accurate data people visiting the event, while survey need more time and resources and ticket sales also need time to produce and it can not show the mobility of the people before and after the event nor the origin of visitors. Mobile positioning data is used to analyse the mobility of people visiting the Asian Games 2018 in Jakarta and Palembang. The mobility analysis covers number of people by their originated countries or provinces, their movement during the games period, as well as their interests. The mobility data was then submitted as data inputs for further economic analysis using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model, as for policy recommendation aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Keywords: Big data analysis, mobile phone data, multisport impact analysis, computable general equilibrium.
