| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The Government`s first priority in recent months has been to establish a satisfactory economic environment for the elections in May. In this a high degree of success has been achieved. The Government has demonstrated its ability to resolve Pertamina`s problems. A measure of price stability has been attained in recent months which, although tenuous, should be maintained through the election period. The rice price has been stable and ample stocks ensure that prices can be held in the coming months. Fortuitously, international demand for a number of Indonesia`s non-oil exports has risen significantly in the past year, bringin higher incomes to their producers. A large salary increase for public servants will be given in April. Together, these factors should provide the sort of economic conditions the Government wants for the election. The longer-term picture is less satisfactory. The marked slow-down in the modern sector continues and the rate of new investment approvals, especially for foreign investment, has fallen. Rice production appears to have grown little over the past two years and a levelling-off of fertiliser usage may indicate that the slow rate of growth will continue. There is also concern about the low level of oil exploration. The last two years have in many ways been abnormal. With the Pertamina rescue operation now well in hand, the Government can once again address the options and problems presented by the 1973 oil price increase: the implications of this for the exchange rate, for overseas debt and borrowing policies, and for its own expenditure decisions. In the business sector, the emerging picture of poor repayment of bank loans, especially Medium Term Investment Credits, raises the question of how the authorities can encourage the growth of a domestic entrepreneurial class (especially pribumi) within a competitive business framework. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | A drought in Java has affected both the dry season rice crop and the production of non-rice foods. How serious the drought has been it is as yet too early to judge, but the increase in rice production in 1976 may turn out to be small for the second year in succession. In contrast to the situation in 1972, however, Bulog is well-placed to make substantial injections into the market if this is needed to prevent a serious rise in rice prices in the coming pre-harvest months. The Government has responded to the situation not only by renewed efforts to stimulate food production through price incentives and improved credit facilities but also by introducing measures to alleviate social distress caused by crop failures. The growth rate of money supply has eased somewhat in recent months, but the overall increase during 1976 is again likely to have reached 30 per cent. It would therefore be optimistic to expect an inflation rate below 20 per cent for 1977. No new balance of payments estimates are available. Strong growth of exports gave the balance of trade a marked upward trend during the first half of 1976. A high level of food imports and the recent halt in the world commodity boom may have slowed down this improving trend in the following months but, provided recovery in the major industrial countries regains its momentum, it should resume through 1977. As the dramatic events surrounding the Pertamina crisis recede into the past, the longer term implications for fiscal and monetary policy, and for Indonesia`s foreign debt service commitments become clearer. The large increases in non-Pertamina public sector expenditure since 1973 exacerbated the strains caused by the oil company`s problems. In the industrial sector, the substantial rates of growth recorded by most industries in the some modern sector continued throughout 1975, although in some industries, such as textiles, the scope for further import substitution may now be small. Approvals of both foreign and domestic investment projects, which slowed markedly in 1976, indicate a shift away from Jakarta towards West and East Java. Cautious steps continue to be made towards the adoption of national minimum wage. Provincial Governors have been instructed to prepare proposals for establishing regional minimum wages in selected industries. Whether minimum wage legislation can be made effective in labour surplus conditions is of course debatable, as is the distribution of benefits between those in jobs and those without. While the incorporation of the former Portuguese colony of East Timor as the twenty-seventh province of Indonesia has created much less stir at home than abroad, the domestic political scene is increasingly under the influence of the general elections to be held in May 1977. The publicity which attended the discovery of an alleged plot to depose the President, and the President`s public statement rebutting charges of corruption may be regarded as symptoms of this atmosphere. |
