BUMNs Prepare for AEC 2015

Fitri Novia Heriani, Robert Sidauruk

In 2015, Indonesia will enter ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which will establish free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, as well as free flow of capital.  Despite the concerns on AEC implementation and the doubt from the House of Representatives (House) on the local industry competitiveness, state-owned enterprises (BUMNs) have started to strengthen their businesses strategies in order to anticipate the shock of exposure to free trade competition.

For example, PT. Telkom (Persero) Tbk, a state-owned telecommunications company, is preparing by sending 1000 employees to go to school abroad in the near future.

“100 from 1000 employees will be allowed to continue with masters degrees as part of Telkom’s transformation program,” said Arif Yahya, Director of Telkom, during exclusive talk show entitled “The Rise of State Enterprise” in Jakarta, Tuesday (14/5).

To realize this program, Telkom has allocated IDR 500 trillion in funds, which increased by three times compared to 2012. With this fund, Telkom and its employees are confident in welcoming AEC 2015.

However, Arif noted that the spirit to face AEC must be supported by the regulatory framework that accommodates development of BUMNs. Therefore, the House is expected to support business strategies of BUMNs.

PT Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) has also prepared to compete in the AEC 2015 by focusing on the human resources development.

During the same event, Gatot Suwondo, Director of BNI, stated that by developing human resources and service quality, he believes that 25,000 BNI employees can provide world class banking services.

“In facing AEC 2015, BNI will improve competitiveness and service quality of its employees,” he added.

Gatot concluded that with the internal development, BNI is not only ready for AEC 2015, but it will also be able to classify as an International Bank.
