The Government is currently preparing a policy paper to strengthen the competiveness of domestic industries to face the implementation of the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community (AEC 2015). The policy paper will focus on trade development, services, and investment under the AEC 2015 single market scheme.
The policy paper is currently being drafted by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Indonesia’s representative on the AEC Council with input from other related Ministries. According to recent comments by Imam Pambagiyo, Director General of International Trade Cooperation at the Ministry of Trade, “The policy paper is ready for further validation.”
Imam explained that to ensure all industry sectors are developed equally, the policy paper will incorporate an Action Plan for The Enhancement of Competitiveness for program initiatives of every Ministry. The implementation of the action plan will be under the direct supervision of a Presidential working unit.
Following the policy paper, Imam continued, the Government will prepare several other policies on a national logistics program, a Presidential Directive on a roadmap for the development of national industrial competitiveness, the establishment of an ASEAN secretary, and the formation of a National Committee for 20015 AEC.
Eddy Cahyono Sugiarto, Special Presidential Staff for the Economy and Development, suggested that the Government should focus on improving competitiveness in several priority industrial sectors. In addition, there will also need to be safeguards and anti-dumping policies for certain imported products to protect domestic producers.
According to commentary by Eddy on the Cabinet’s official website, “These priority industries cover agro-based industries, processed fish products, textiles, footwear, leather, food and beverages, iron and steel, basic metal industries, fertilizer and petrochemical industries, and machinery industries.”
Bambang Prasetya, Head of the National Standardization Agency, also raised another important factor for strengthening national industry. He commented that for any efforts to be effective, the public must be encouraged to be proactive in contributing to innovation in the science and technology sectors.
Bambang believes that by raising quality standards through making adjustments based on current developments in science and technology development through such inovation, domestically produced products will be ready to compete with imports.
“Developing new standards will surely make it easier for national industries to penetrate the AEC 2015 market,” Bambang added.
