| Indonesian economic stimulus package to be released soon |
| 20/04/2009 - 08:53 |
According to Antara News, the Indonesian government is
currently processing its Rp73.3 trillion economic stimulus
package and will begin to allocate funds by end April
2009. Indonesia, the most populated state in South-East
Asia has been facing its worst recession in modern history.
The government was hopeful the stimulus would help
address the various issues posed by unemployment in the
country.

Forestry Minister MS Kaban said ‘chronic ailments’
affecting Indonesian forests would take a long time to fix.
As reported in Antara News, the minister indicated weak
government control and mismanagement by forest
concessionaries, timber estates and licensed plantations
had contributed to the damage in the forests. Kaban noted
the ailments were also affecting forest industries and
timber companies, which had cut the state’s foreign
exchange earning and spurred illegal logging and theft. To
address some of these problems, Kaban drew attention to
forest plantation activities undertaken by the government
on the last three years, during which a total of USD1.9
million trees had been planted and which were expected to
boost recovery of the forests.
Price declines trigger fears for mill owners and
workers
Reports are emerging that some sawmill and plywood mill
owners in Indonesia may resort to arson to recoup their
financial losses from recent months. Prices of Indonesian
timber products declined sharply as exporters to traditional
markets, e.g. Japan and the US, struggle under the weight
of heavy corporate debts.
Potential investors in the Indonesian timber industry added
that aging machinery, poor infrastructure and illiteracy are some of the biggest hindrances to investors. The high rate
of illiteracy in Indonesia makes it difficult for companies
to train and provide skilled workers required by the
downstream and value-added timber industry.
Experts also noted that any collapse in prices of
Indonesian timber products could trigger a similar chain
reaction among timber producers in the region.
