| Abstraksi Narasi | : | A sharp rise in machine tool imports after 1986 indicates that the Indonesian machinery inductry is rapidly expanding. Whereas such buoyant growth gives cause for optimism, firm-level evidence reveals that the import substitution policies pursued in the 1980s have saddled the engineering subsector with a lopsided structure. Infant industry policies were aimed at engineering goods far beyond the technical capabilities of local manufacturers. Consequently, firms operating in infant industries engaged in assembly of imported kits rather than in manufacturing proper; they developed little or no backward linkages with local components makers; and they were unable to attain international price / quality standards. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The intuition of economists is likely to be a poor guide to the social value of food price stabilisation, because of problems in modelling the impact of stabilisation on consumer behaviour, producer bahaviour, and the macro economy, including the impact on economic growth. The potential for stable food prices to contribute to economic growth is especially relevant to the poor countries of Asia, where rice is important in macroeconomic terms. Indonesia`s experience since 1959 presents an opportunity to test hypotheses about the design, implementation, and impact on social welfare of food prices stabilisation. The model presented here explains Bulog`s activities, and confirms that its interventions stabilise rice prices. Should Bulog try to stabilise rice prices? The answer is a clear yes in the 1970s and 1980s, but is less clear in the 1990s as Bulog`s costs have risen and the share of rice in the economy has fallen. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This paper examines the dynamics of urban development of the Jakarta metropolitan region, called Jabotabek, from 1980 through the early 1990s. We focus on the rapidly changing spatial allocation of residences and business, finding that Jabotabek is following expected developmental patterns but faces special and some critical problems. Population densities remain unusually high and urban development is hindered by very poor land market institutions-weakly defined property rights particularly for traditional low income residents, complete lack of active land use planning, and relatively low infrastructure investments. Industry is rapidly suburbanising to take of advantage of low land prices and wages in suburban Botabek. With toll road construction east and west from the city, within the five-year period 1986-1991, Jabotabek moved from being a monocentric city where core city industrial activity dominated to a predominantly multi-centred city. These developments and implicit government policy have hurt small-scale industry, which ultimately will hinder the whole development process. Issues of spatial mismatch, where low income workers` residences and workplaces become inordinately spatially separated due to government policies in land markets, herald increasing problems of urban underemployment and social unrest. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This paper examines the changing employment structures in the growing metropolitan region focused on Jakarta. It disaggregates the Botabek region surrounding Jakarta has come to dominate the pattern of urbanisation in West Java, adding more to the urban population of West Java in the 1980s than did the growth of the West Java capital, Bandung. The increase in employment over the 1980-1990 period differed sharply between Jakarta and the two rings. Employment in DKI Jakarta rose by 52%, in the inner ring by 425%, and in the outer ring by 36%. Migration patterns indicate that the inner ring was gaining both through city dwellers moving to areas outside the city boundaries and through people moving from elsewhere in Java and further afield. The educational attainment of the workforce in the inner ring rose dramatically, reflecting not only improvements in school facilities within the ring but also in-migration of well educated people. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The economy grew by an estimated 7.5% in 1995, with high growth occuring in the manufacturing sector (GOI 1996a). Reflecting the buoyant conditions, merchandise imports (including oil and gas) grew by 32.1% in the first nine months of 1995 compared with the same period in 1994, contributing to a widening of the current account deficit from 2% to 4% of GDP. Inflation peaked at 10.5% in July, but had abated to 8.9% by year end. These economic indicators aroused concern among government officials and prominent economists that the economy was `overheating`, and there were calls for policy to slow it down. Recognising the inflationary impact of rapid money growth, Bank Indonesia (BI) moved to reduce bank leading by increasing the reserve requirement from 2% to 3% of banks` current liabilities, and excluded cash from the definition of `reserves` for the purpose of fulfiling the requirement. There were signs, however, that growth in aggregate demand was decelerating in the second half of the year, casting doubt on the view that the economy was `overheating` and thus on the appropriateness of the Bank`s decision. By September, merchandise exports (including oil and gas) recorded a growth rate of 13.5%, double the rate of 6.6% for the same period in 1994. Two of the Three `problem` export industries-garments and fabrics-showed some improvement over 1994. The relatively slow growth of exports relative to imports and the increased current account deficit continued to cause anxiety in government, leading to a series of policy changes: the merger of the Ministries of Trade and Industry into one under Ir Tunky Ariwibowo in December, and the trade deregulation package on January 26. The government backtracked on an earlier decision not give PT Chandra Asri Petrochemicals additional import protection, when it increased the tariffs on propylene and ethylene imports from 5% to 25%. In the same month it also announced a policy to encourage the manufacture of a `national` passenger vehicle and to develop the domestic car components sector. Tax concession will be given to a `pioneer` company that is 100% Indonesian owned and meets certain local content requirements. The budget was announced by President Soeharto on January 5. Although it was described as contractionary, the view taken in this Survey is that it is essentially neutral. Routine expenditure (mainly government consumption) is budgeted to increase by 18.8% in nominal terms, development expenditure by 12.1%, and revenues by 18%. |
