Good performances of listed companies contribute to economic growth Good performances of publicly traded companies in 2008 and in the first quarter of 2009 contributed substantially to growing confidence of investors and the business sector to the countrys economy. Amid heavy pressures with shrinking exports and difficulty in securing foreign funds are among big challenges to be faced by many countries including Indonesia and other ASEAN countries. Some neighboring countries are facing greater problems such as Malaysia and Singapore, which are more export 4

oriented and foreign investment. The Indonesian condition, which was previously a weakness, has become a factor contributing to the countrys economic resilience. The strength of the domestic market is shown by the fact that many listed companies, oriented to the domestic market, such as those producing consumer goods, posted substantial profit in 2008. Slump has also hit the domestic market but some indicators show improvement in the market condition. Inflation is well under control, allowing the central bank to cut its benchmark interest rate to as low as 7.5%. If banks follow the lead by taken by the central bank, and boost credits, the purchasing power of the people will increase. Despite the decline in exports, many Indonesian commodities are still high in demand in export market. Exports of palm oil and coal are picking up. The success in the recent legislative elections at least from the security point of view, also contributed to improvement of the confidence of the business sector. Indonesia fares better than many other countries facing the devastating impact of the global financial crisis. Thailand is facing political turmoil and security problem undermines political stability in the Philippines. Even Malaysia, and Singapore, which have been much more successful in economic development are in no better condition than Indonesia. With healthy economic fundamentals, the future government will have greater confidence in bringing about greater prosperity to the country in the coming years.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
DEVELOPMENT OF CABLE INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA

Introduction The countrys cable industry was badly hit by the 1998 crisis. Until 2004, utilization of the production capacity of the industry was only around 25%- 30% of installed production capacity. The industry began to revive only in the past three years starting 2006. In 2007, the countrys cable production totaled 300,000 tons or 65% of the installed capacity of 445,000 tons. Brisk developments in the power sector and growing exports have also boosted the industry lately. The fast growing demand for electricity has forced the government to launch am ambitious plan called crash program to build coal fired power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 megawatts to be completed in 2010-2011. The program is to be followed with a second phase with the same capacity. The first program is in progress pushing up demand for electric cable. Demand for cables has increased not only n the domestic market but also in export market such as Middle East. The oil rich region, which earned windfall profit with the soaring price of oil since 2006, is safe from the impact of the global financial crisis. Property and infrastructure development continue to be brisk in Middle East. The projects need large supply of electric cables including transmission and distribution cables. The revival of the cable market in 2007 and 2008 was reflected by the financial performance of listed cable producers. PT Sumi Kabel reported sales at only Rp.976 billion in 2004. In 2006 it sales shot up to Rp1,914 billion . Similarly, sales of PT Supreme Cable (SUCACO) surged to Rp2,281 billion in 2007 from Rp1,483 billion in 2006. A setback, however, came toward the end of 2008 when sales began to sink including in export market. As a result of the global financial crisis. Increase in the prices of basic materials like copper contributed to the problem faced by cable industry lately. Many cable producers suffered losses on foreign exchange as they bought the basic materials in US dollar the value of which surged facing the rupiah. Despite the gloomy outlook lately, the prospects for cable industry are still encouraging in the country with the big plan of the government in the electricity sector.

Cable producers and production capacity After the 1998 crisis , there was almost no addition in the number of cable factories and installed capacity. The member of the association of cable producers (APKABEL), which groups almost all cable factories in the country did not change much . In 1997 , there were 35 members of the association and 2006, the number slightly declined to 34 companies. Base don official data at the industry ministry , among 48 registered cable factories in 2005 , only 33 were in operation. Number of cable factories grouped in Apkabel 1974 = 5 companies 1997 = 35 companies 2000 = 35 companies 2002 = 36 companies 2005 = 33 companies 2006 = 34 companies

The production capacity of the countrys cable industry has not changed much since 2004. Base din data at APKABEL the production capacity is around 445,000 tons year for all types of cable .

Industry Profile
Most cable factories date back to year before the 1998 crisis. Low demand caused factories to operate much below their production capacity. Increase began only in 2005 to peak in 2007 . New investment began in cable industry that year including for capacity expansion. A Malaysian company, PT Wonderful Wire and Cable , built a factory in Medan . Another foreign company PT Prysman invested for capacity expansion. Currently there are 15 major cable makers in Indonesia . Most of them are old companies like PT Tranka Kabel that came on line in 1952. PT Sumi Indo Kabel Tbk (Perusahaan) was established on 23 July 1981, with the name of PT Industri Kawat Indonesia. The name of the company was changed with PT IKI Indah Kabel Indonesia in 1982. PT Voksel Electric Tbk was established in 1971 . Later its status was changed into a foreign investment (PMA) company after establishing cooperation with Showa Electric Wire & Cable Co. Ltd from Japan. There are six publicly listed cable makers -- PT Supreme Cable Manufacturing and Commerce TBK (SUCACO), PT Sumi Indo Kabel, PT Kabelindo, PT Voksel Electric, PT KMI Wires and Cables and PT Jembo Cable.

Cable producers operate at high capacity The countrys cable industry was hit hard by the monetary crisis in 1997/1998 on falling demand . Capacity utilization was only 25%-30% . The condition improved only in 2004 and 2005 , when the countrys economy began to recover from the crisis. The growth of the industry peaked in 2007 when the government launched its 10,000 megawatt crash program in the electricity sector pushing up demand for electric cables. Demand also rose in export market notable in Middle East where the construction sector was brisk amid the soaring oil prices. Strong demand in 2007 resulted in an increase in capacity utilization of the countrys cable industry to 65%-70%. The capacity utilization was expected to scale up further in 2008 to around 90% of the total installed capacity of 445,090 ton, if the crash program in the electric sector ran as expected.

Cable exports up The slump on the domestic market in the wake of the monetary crisis of 1997/1998, forced cable makers in the country to seek to boost exports to offset a decline in sales on the domestic market. Exports, therefore, began to rise in 2000 and the trend continued until 2007. In 2004, exports totaled 66,600 tons valued at US$ 287 million, up to 111,600 tons valued at US$ 917 million in 2007 or an increase of 20% a year. Previously exports were made mainly to Japan, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, but in the last two years, the Middle East has become the main export destinations. The construction industry marked with rising property buildings is brisk following the oil boom in the oil rich region. New cities have been built or being build requiring larger supply of cables mainly electric cable and telephone cables. Currently cable makers are more oriented to export market. PT Sumi Indo Kabel, for example, exports most of its cable production. In the first half of 2008, the company exported 83% of its production leaving only 13% for domestic market. PT KMI Wires and Cables Tbk PT KMI has recorded an increase in its exports although most of its production is still disposed of on the domestic market. In 2007, sales on the domestic market made up 84% of its total sales with exports making up only 16%. In the first half of 2008, its exports rose in contribution to 25%. Its export markets have expanded to South America, Africa and Europe.

Industry Profile
Imports While exporting, the country also imports cables. Imports have increased in the past four years in line with the growing demand in the country. Imported cables are mainly fiber optics and industrial cables In 2004, imports of cable reached 20,772 tons valued at US$ 83,428,000 up to 50,003 tons valued at US$ 222,186,000.

Consumption growing A fast growth has been recorded in the countrys consumption of cables in the past four years peaking in 2007. In 2004, consumption totaled 65,400 tons, up to 227,700 tons in 2007 or a three fold increase from the previous year. The increase in consumption in 2007 came with the launching of the governments crash program in the electricity sector. Under the first crash program state electricity company PLN is to build coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 megawatts. Outside the program a number of power plants have been built in Java and other regions to cope with shortage in power supply. In 2008, consumption continued to scale up as indicated by growing production and sales until the first half of that year. In the second half of that year demand began to fall both on the domestic and international markets as a result of the global financial crisis that caused the shelving of many construction projects. In addition, rising prices of copper resulted in higher prices of cables. The condition, however, is expected to improve in the coming years especially in the country as the government continues the crash program in the electricity sector.

Cable prices down 5% A decline in the prices of basic materials like copper and aluminum in international market, brought about a decline in the price of cables by the end of 2008. The price of copper in March 2008 hit the level of US$8,680 per ton, but by the end of that year the price sank to US$ 6,000 per ton. The price of aluminum also dropped from US$ 3,200 per ton to US$ 2,100 per ton. As a result the prices of cable were estimated to fall by 5%-6%. A cable producer said if it already cut its selling price of its cables by 5% since last September as the price of cables in the country depends much on the prices of copper and aluminum.

Prospects of Cable Industry The domestic demand for power is forecast to grow more than 9% annually in the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the government hopes to be able to meet 95% of household power requirement in 2018, up from 60.8% in 2007. Currently PLNs supplying capacity still falls short of the requirement, marked by the frequent crisis in power supply in various areas. The government has launched a crash program to be carried out by PLN in the electricity sector to cope with growing shortage in power supply in Java and other regions. Under the crash program PLN is building coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 megawatts to be completed in 2010 - 2011. The projects to be built include 10 units of power generating plants with a total capacity of 6,900 MW in Java and 25 power generating plants with a capacity of 3,100 MW outside Java to start in mid 2006. The program is now in progress starting 2006. Currently completion is about 60%. The project will need large supply of electric cables both for transmission 26

network and distribution systems. The tender for the procurement of transmission cables for the entire power plants is valued at around Rp6.1 trillion. Procurement of cables for transmission network include Rp1.2 trillion in Java, Rp1.3 trillion for the southern Sumatra system, Rp2.4 trillion for the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) system, and Rp1.2 trillion for North Sumatra system. There are still tenders for the procurement of cable networks for main electrical relay stations. The crash program is to be followed with a second phase which will include construction of coal-fired power plants to make up 26% of the total additional capacity, hydropower and geothermal power plants to account for 60% and gas fired power plants for 14%. Investment needed for the second phase is around US$ 17.3 billion including US$ 15 billion for power plants and the rest for transmission and distribution systems. Demand for electric cables, therefore, will remain strong in the coming several years though slowdown is expected in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis. In 2010, the electric cables demand is predicted to grow again not only in the country but also in export market such as in Middle East.

Industry Profile
Conclusion In the past five years, the countrys electric cables industry has expanded fast and recovered form the 1998 monetary crisis. In 2008, cable production was estimated to reach 85% of the countrys production capacity or 378,000 tons. The increase in production has been boosted by growing demand especially from PLNs project of 10,000 MW coal-fired power generating plants. Consumption of electric cables in 2007 rose to 227,000 tons in 2007 and to 295,000 tons in 2008. Indonesia has also succeeded in expanding market abroad. In the past five years exports surged from 66,000 tons in 2004 to 111,000 tons in 2007. The largest market has been Middle East, but the main buyer of automotive cables is Japan to which exports have also increased from year to year. Until mid 2008, demand for cables on the domestic and international markets continued to increase, but toward the end of that year there was a slowdown. Many large property projects abroad including in Middle East were shelved on funding problem. Demand for electric cables, therefore, declined. However, the market is expected to be normal again in 2010. Construction of property projects in the country and in Middle East is expected to brisk again. Based on the trend in the past four years and taking into account the impact of the global financial crisis, demand fro a cable in 2009 is forecast to rise only slightly from 295,000 tons in 2008 to 310,000 tons. Stronger demand is expected in 2010 and by 2012, domestic consumption of cables is forecast to reach 513,000 tons. Additional capacity of the countrys cable industry will be needed to meet the requirement that year. **dgs**

Indonesia Asahan Aluminum (Inalum) in Asahan, North Sumatra having a production capacity of 240,000 tons a year. The company is 41% owned by the Indonesian government and 59% by a consortium of 12 Japanese companies. It has recorded almost no profit since its came on line in 1983. In 1982-2005, Inalum posted US$ 692 million in operating profit but it suffered foreign exchange loss of US$ 1,645 million as a result of the yen appreciation against the US dollar that the company accumulated a total net loss of US $ 953 million during that period.

Shortage in the supply of aluminum ingot in the country is covered with imports as based on an agreement with the Japanese investors, 60% of Inalums production of that material is exported to Japan. The contract with the Japanese consortium will expire in 2013. The consortium wants to extend the contract, but the government has decided to keep it for itself. Imports of aluminum ingot, therefore, is almost the same in volume than annual exports by Inalum of around 96,000 tons. Inalums dependence on imports for alumina basic material make the company less competitive. Other producers have much smaller capacity. The second largest producer is PT. Liang Ying Nuansa Indonesia with a capacity of only 10,000 tons a year. Most of 7 of the ten producers are located in Mojokerto, East Java. The other two are in Surabaya and Cilegon. Indonesia, which has the largest reserve of bauxite, has no processing plant of that basic material and alumina making it difficult to expand the aluminum industry in the country.

Aluminum rod and aluminum wire Producers of cable basic materials from aluminum are more integrated the more they are in the downstream Three of six producers of aluminum wires also produce cables. They are PT. GT Cable Metal Indonesia, PT. Terang Kita, and PT. Jembo Cable Company, Tbk. Indonesia has only one company PT. Tembaga Mulia Semanan, Tbk. producing aluminum wires. This company operates only in the manufacturing of metal materials from aluminum and copper. Producers of wires from aluminum or copper not having integrated with production facility for finished products such as cable are small in capacity, but those having integrated facility to also produce cables has large production capacity such as PT. Karya Sumiden Indonesia, a subsidiary of cable maker PT. Sumi Indo Kabel. The aluminum wire production capacity of PT. Semanan Tembaga Mulia, Tbk is relatively small at 5,000 tons per year.

those producing wire rod, the cable basic material in the downstream This is because of the fact that the country has not succeeded in developing industries processing copper ore, bauxite and alumina . So far the country has no copper ore processing industry. The country has only processing plant for copper concentrate to produce copper cathode. Copper cathode industry is developed as part of the agreement to renew the working contract of PT Freeport Indonesia. Meanwhile, aluminum ingot industry also has not expanded as expected. The country has only Inalum that produce aluminum ingot . Inalum was established an in cooperation between the government and a consortium of Japanese companies. The cooperation favors Japan the company is required to exports most or 60% of its production to Japan. Expansion is recorded better in the intermediate sector of industries producing cable basic materials including copper and aluminum wire rod. In the midstream sector, around half of the producers also produce telecommunications and electric cables. The number of producers of copper and aluminum wires (more in the downstream sector) is relatively small than the number of wire rod producers. Most producers are integrated with either downstream or upstream industries such as PT. Tembaga Mulia Semanan, Tbk and PT. Karya Sumiden Indonesia.

FIBER OPTIC CABLE INDUSTRY

Introduction Fiber optic cable could conduct light effectively in a long distance that it is just suitable to serve as a communication medium. There are two types of fiber optic cable loose tube and tight buffer. Loose tube is a fiber optic cable that has several tubes containing fiber optic normally 4, 6, or 12around the core of fiber glass or metal that functions as toughening agent. The room between the tube and the core is filled with fiber in the form of jelly. This structure is then wrapped with special thread, water resistant tape, aluminum tape, inner packaging from polyethylene, steel tape, and outer packaging from polyethylene. Tight buffer is fiber optic cable made by encircling several pieces of fiber optic round the core and than it is covered with solid material such as polyaramid and then it is wrapped with plastic mainly PVC which is resistant to heat. Cable of this type generally is used in a close place or a room. Development of fiber optic cable industry in Indonesia is not very encouraging despite the fast growth of its consuming industries like telecommunication industry. The reason is large imports of fiber optic cables as a consequence of the use of foreign network vendors , which often bound by contract with foreign producers of fiber optic cable as the suppliers. Producers of fiber optic cable Fiber optic cable industry in Indonesia grows to follow the expansion of telecommunications industry as cables are used for communications networks. Indonesias production capacity of fiber optic cables in 2008 was 27,580 tons per year .There are 8 producers including PT. Supreme Cable Manufacturing Corporation Tbk (Sucaco); PT. Sumi Indah Kabel Indonesia (Sumi Indah); PT. Kabel Metal Indonesia (KMI); PT. Jembo Cable Company Tbk (Jembo), PT. Prysmian Cables Indonesia (Prysmian), PT. BICC Berca Cables (Berca); PT. Communication Cable System Indonesia (CCSI); and PT. Voksel Electric Tbk (Voksel).

Fiber optic cable industry has good prospects as the countrys telecommunications industry is still growing and the telecommunication networks of fiber optic cables are still relatively small not up to 50,000 km as against 70,000 km in India. Telecommunications industry in the country is growing fast that large supply of fiber optic cables will be need in the coming years. The local producers of fiber optic cables, however, could take full advantage of the growing demand on the domestic market as network vendors are generally bound in contract with foreign suppliers. Local producers had only a share of less than 3% of the market of telecommunications and informatics components, which was valued at US$4.1 billion in 2008. The countrys production of fiber optic cables, therefore, remains small. The production in 2008 was less than 50% of the countrys installed capacity. The role of the government, therefore, is needed to protect the domestic industry. This year the industry ministry will propose a draft law on local content in a bid to boost the domestic telecommunications and informatics industry. * * df * *

SECOND PHASE OF ELECTRICITY CRASH PROGRAM AND DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Backgrounds In a bid to prevent shortage in power supply in the country, the government has launched a crash program to build power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 MW. The first phase of the program has been in progress and it is to be followed with the second phase, the second phase is prepared in a Power Provision Plan for 2009-2018 by PLN. The first phase of the program was launched in 2006 to build coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 MW, The projects has been more than 50% completed, it is to be completed in 2011. The second phase will follow in 2012 as additional capacity will still be needed, to meet fast growing requirement. In the period of 2009 2018, based on PLNs estimate, power requirement the Java-Bali system will rise from 107.8 TWh in 2009 to 250.9 TWh in 2018 an annual increase of 9.5%. Meanwhile, the requirement outside Java-Bali the same period is estimated to grow from 30.9 TWh in 2009 to 74.3 TWh 2018 or an annual growth of 10.3%. in or in in

The government is set to carry out the program as based on experience in 1998; demand for power supply has continued to increase despite the crisis. The second phase of the program also with a total capacity of around 10,000 MW is estimated to cost US$ 21.3 billion. The private sector is expected to provide 64% of the investment. Most of the plants with a total capacity of 6,000 MW are to be built in Java other regions will have a share of 4,000 MW of the total capacity. In the first phase there are only coal-fired power plants, but in the second phase priority will be given to development of power plants using renewable energy sources such as geothermal and water energy. The power plants are to include PLTU accounting for 26%, PLTGU for 14% and PLTP 42%. However, as renewable energy sources are not yet ready for development, coal fired power plants will still dominate power plants to be built in the second phase. The project will include development of transmission and distribution network. Large supply of electrical cables will be needed.

Second Phase of Power Plant Crash Program Until now details of the second phase of the program are still studied by the government and PLN. Whereas, PLN plans to hold tender for the development of power generating plants to be built in the second phase of the program by the end of first half of 2009. The power plants to be built in the second phase of the program will include various types by fuels. Although priority is to be given for renewable energy coal fired power plants (coal PLTU) will still be dominant. Based on the plan forwarded by PLN, the total capacity of power plants to be built in the second phase of the program will reach 11,144 MW including 7,366 MW to be built by PLN and the rest by IPP (Independent Power Producer).

program was to start in February and the first to be offered was a PLTU in PLTU Pemalang, Central Java with a capacity of 2,000 MW. The project will be built by independent power producer (IPP). PLN already invited bidders between January 9-16 in 2009 to submit a statement of express of interest in building the PLTU of Pemalang. Around 30 bidders including foreign companies already indicated interest. Among them are Marubeni, Siemens, WTL, Alstom, Areva, Hua Tien, and Da Tang. Construction of the PLTU alone is estimated to cost US$ 1.8 billion. The entire cost of the project is estimated to reach US$2.34 billion. The power plant with a capacity 2,000 MW could consist of three units with a capacity of 660 MW each or two units each with a capacity of 1,000 MW. Tender to be held in June 2009 The schedule has changed or not yet fixed and similarly the number of projects to be financed by PLN and IPP is yet to be set. The first phase of the crash program is carried out by PLN but the second phase will be built by PLN and IPP. PLN is to have 66% of the project by investment and IPP will take the rest. PLN already set aside US$9,924.3 million for capital expenditure including for power plants to be built in Java- Bali valued at US$ 5,022 million. The largest is for PLTU of Cilacap which has a capacity of 2x1000 MW to cost US$ 2,820 million , followed by PLTU of Indramayu Baru US$ 1,410 million and PLTU of Muara Tawar 825 MW to cost US$ 792 million.

Sources at the ministry of energy and mineral resources said the second phase of the crash program will cost around US$ 21.3 billion or around Rp234.3 trillion. The source said PLN was to build power plants with a total capacity of only 3,600 MW with an investment of US$ 7.8 billion or around Rp85.8 trillion. Development of transmission networks Development of new power generating plants in Java and outside Java will need the support in the availability of transmission and distribution networks. PLN, therefore, has prepared its Power Provision General Plan (RUPTL) for 20082018, which constitutes a long term plan for national power provision both by PLN and independent power producer (IPP) until 2018. In the RUPTL, PLN among other things estimates that total investment requirement needed for power installation until 2018 will reach US$83.7 billion. The investment fund will include for power plants valued at US$56.9 billion, transmission networks US$ 14.4 billion, and distribution systems US$12.4 billion. Transmission projects accounted for 45% or US$ 1,955.7 million of the total investment in 2008 . Transmission investment in 2009 is estimated to reach US$ 2,401.5 million in 2009 down to US$ 1,430.9 million in 2010 and to US$ 1,049.7 million in 2011 before rising to US$ 1,408.4 million in 2012. Investment needed for distribution system was around US$ 703 million in 2008, up to US$ 761.6 million in 2009, to US$ 959.9 million in 2010, and to US$ 974.5 million in 2011 and to US$ 1,029 million in 2012. Transmission Development Projects Early 2009, PLN signed 23 contracts for the construction of power transmission networks and main power relay station (GI) for the first crash program for Java-Bali and northern Sumatra valued at Rp2.1 trillion. With the signing, PLN had signed all contracts for transmission projects needed in the crash program. The contracts signed included 18 for the construction of 607 km transmission system valued at Rp1.601 trillion for the power systems in northern Sumatra (North Sumatra, Aceh and Riau) . For the power systems of Java-Bali, there were 5 contracts valued at Rp516,8 billion , including transmission system 154,4 KM long and power relay station with a capacity of 2x60 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA). Earlier on February 8, PLN already signed four transmission contracts valued at Rp127 billion for the power system in Pikitring, Southern Sumatra. The contracts were for the construction of transmission and main relay stations with a capacity of 4x30 MVA. The main power relay stations will be used for expansion of the distribution of power in the southern Sumatra system.

In addition, PLN will build 300-km long transmission network for SumatraMalaysia . The network will cross the sea via Pekanbaru, Riau to Peninsular, Malaysia . It will cost around US$ 300 million. The project will be finance d with a loan from Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). In the beginning, the project is to be completed in 2009 but there has not been agreement reached in negotiations on power price. The completion target, therefore, will likely be rolled over to 2011. There are three options for the form of the cooperation involving the two neighboring countries -- power "swap" under which Indonesia will sell power to Malaysia and Malaysia to sell power to Indonesia. The transmission system for the project also needs to wait for the completion of development of 275 KV transmissions in the Sumatra interconnection system. The interconnection project needs an investment of Rp5.7 trillion including for 1,200 km transmission network valued at Rp3.5 trillion , 11 new units of main power relay station valued at Rp1.5 trillion and for additional voltage from 150 KV to 275 KV needed by five units of main relay stations in Lubuk Linggau, Lahat, Bangko, Muara Bungo, and Kiliranjao, The fund for the 275 kV interconnection project will include Rp700 billion to be provided by PLN and US$155 million by Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). The fund from JBIC is to be used for the construction of 300 km transmission systems from Padangsidempuan to Payakumbuh. The cost of the remaining 900 km transmission network project is around Rp2.7 trillion covering LahatGumawang-Seputih Bayak-Sutami, Kiliranjao-Semangkok, and Galang-Binjai. Construction of the 275 interconnection system, will support plan to build 650 km transmission of Sumatra-Java . The interconnection project is to be built in cooperation between PLN and Tenaga Nasional Berhad Malaysia. PLN and Tenaga Nasional will carry out joint studies on the feasibility of the Sumatra-Malaysia transmission project to be carried out by Shaw Power Technology Inc. Early 2008, PLN launched tender for the project of Sumatra-Java transmission system valued at US$ 1.2 billion. In line with the RUPTL target the transmission system is to be operational in 2011 or early 2012. The project is planned as the cost of building the 650 transmission system is cheaper than having to carry coal from Sumatra to fuel power plant in Java. In addition it is not easy to find good locations in Java for new power plants. It is reported that China will finance and build the project. Interest has been shown by China Huadian , which will build the mine mouth PLTU project in Bangko Tengah with a capacity of 4x600 MW. The power plant with such big capacity would be too big for Sumatra alone, therefore, China wants to build the Sumatra-Java transmission project. 56

The power to be generated by the PLTU of Bangko Tengah is too big for consumption in South Sumatra while Java will need additional supply. The project is to be completed in 2010. The transmission cable of high voltage direct current (HVDC) will carry at least 2,000 MW of power from the power plant in South Sumatra to Java crossing the sea of Sunda strait . Transmitting such big power will require change in the electric current from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), that converter will need to be built in Sumatra and inverter in Java. Converter is instrument which changes the AC to DC. Inverter is an instrument to change DC to AC that the power could be distributed to subscribers. The DC system is the first to be use din Indonesia. It is needed for the transmission of large current covering a long distance. The transmission system will have the capacity of 400-500 KV with DC . It will need an investment of US$ 600 million for cables and transmission . The converters and inverter will cost around US$ 1.1 billion to be provided by Chinese financers. Large transmission and distribution systems still needed Construction of new power plants and increase in demand for power supply will required more transmission systems . Transmission systems needed until 2013 will reach 9,813 km circuit (kms) including 1,574 kms in length of 500 kV AC , 4,093 kms of 275 kV , 2,896 kms of 150 kV, and 1,252 kms of 70 kV .

PT Telkom continues to expand net networks Telecommunications players have continued to expand their fiber optic networks to increase their capacity. Telkom plans to start construction of a submarine fiber optic network in 2009 to link Java Bali Lombok, several places in Kalimantan, and Sulawesi - Kalimantan. The fiber optic network of Sulawesi-Kalimantan will reach 3,139 kilometers consisting of network of 2,734 KM in Sulawesi and 405 KM in Kalimantan. Ring-1 will cover Makassar, Parepare, Watampone, Bulukumba and Makassar (South Sulawesi). Ring-2 to cover Parepare, Palopo (South Sulawesi) Parigi, Palu (Central Sulawesi), Majene, Mamuju (West Sulawesi), Pinrang, and Parepare (South Sulawesi) and Ring-3 to cover Parigi (Central Sulawesi), Gorontalo, and Manado (North Sulawesi). This project is named 'JaKa2LaDeMa' and will need an investment of US$110 million. It is to be completed in mid 2010. The network will be used as a backbone to promote data and voice traffic, e-commerce, and video. The contractor to build the project is Fujitsu from Japan. In this project, Fujitsu will cooperate with a German partner Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke GmbH (NSW). NSW will provide repeater which will be integrated with repeated cables, while Fujitsu as the main director, will provide terminal, repeaters, branching units system integration, and all services needed by the project. In mid 2008, Indosat also began to build submarine cable communication system (SKKL) to reach 1,300 kilometers linking Java - Kalimantan - Batam Singapore. The project, which will have 4 landing points in each island such as: Tanjung Pakis (Karawang, West Java), Sungai Kakap (Pontianak, West Kalimantan), Tanjung Bemban (Batam) and Changi (Singapore), is named Jakabare. Construction of the Jakabare SKKL which will have a bandwidth capacity of 160 to 640 Gigabit per second (Gbps) is expected to be completed in the first half of 2009. This network will also be used to promote the network capacity of service of the Indonesia Singapore route. The project will be built by Indosat in cooperation with NEC Corporation. Powertel, a new player, plans to continue to expand its fiber optic network to reach 3,400 km, including 2,400 km to link cities in Java connected with railways and 1,000 km to link electric poles.

Powertel also plans to build 2,000 km long fiber optic network between cities connected with railways in Sumatra. Powertel was established in 2004 to operate in closed fixed line service using the technology of Broadband over Powerline (BPL). The players are mainly telecommunication companies which concentrate in development of network of backbone fiber optic between cities or islands to support voice and data traffic of their telecommunication business. However, there are some developing last mile network in the form of Metronet such as Indosat through its subsidiaries Indosat Mega Media (IM2), and Icon+ . Player like Biznet concentrates in development of fiber optic network for last mile in large cities. The strategy used by Biznet is developing Metronet to be connected with business buildings. Currently Biznet has established connections with 263 buildings including 248 buildings in Jakarta, 5 in Surabaya, 1 in Bogor, 3 in Bandung, 4 in Tangerang with its fiber optic.

This project was earlier estimated to cost only US$180.4 million . The networks total 4,450 km in length including 3,850 km under the sea and 600 km on land. It will have 15 landing points to go across 21 regencies/cities in eastern Indonesia . This project was to be completed this year, but its implementation has been delayed . The stumbling blocks include the soaring cost from earlier estimate of US$180 million to US$700 million as a result of the surges in the prices of optic cables and equipment. The joint venture investment of US$180 million was to be provided by PT Telkom US$90 million , PT Indosat Tbk US$30 million , PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk US$30 million and PT Bakrie Telecom Tbk US$30 million . The investment value was reduced with the falling value of the rupiah that has weakened to the level of 11,000 per US$ . With the rupiah was weakened to that level the joint venture investment fell by US$30 million . The cost was estimated when the rupiah was at 9,000 per US$. The government as the facilitator has decided to use the Universal Service Obligation (USO) fund as a soft loan for the consortium to cover the shortage in fund. The USO fund is raised from a contribution of 1.25% of the gross income of service and telecommunication network operators. Last year USU fund totaled Rp1.6 trillion. The funding is made through a special team called ICT (information communication technology) The team is made up of officials of the office of the state minister for communications and informatics, the National Development Planning Board, and the finance ministry and the office of the coordinating minister for economy. However, until now it is not yet clear how the funding mechanism will work. Meanwhile, vendors that took part in the tender as the contractors of the Palapa Ring project include NEC Corporation, NSW-Fujitsu and Alcatel-Lucent. The winner of the tender is yet to be announced as the prices offered by the bidders are much higher or twice as much as earlier estimate. Meanwhile the vendors already utilized their full capacity at present as there are many fiber optic network projects in the world. Therefore, its is almost impossible for them to complete the project this year as originally scheduled. The delay in the implementation of the project results in delay in the order for equipment needed by the project .

Source: Data Consult Conclusion and prospects With the fast growing telecommunications industry in Indonesia and abroad, fiber optic network is expected to remain high in demand in the country and in the world in general. Fiber optic networks are vital for telecommunications companies. Telecommunications companies which focus on voice and data services will tend to develop backbone network inter city, inter-island with nation wide coverage. Ones which focuses on closed fixed service tend to develop last mile network in large cities. This network generally provide connections commercial buildings and later expected to also cover houses with the growing demand for data communication service. The global crisis is expected to affect plans of telecommunications companies in Indonesia in building fiber optic networks but when the condition improves they are expected to immediately resume their projects . * * df * *

PLN TO ISSUE BOND TO FINANCE SECOND PHASE OF PROGRAM TO BUILD 10,000 MW POWER PLANTS

Backgrounds The government has launched a crash program to be carried out by PLN in the electricity sector to cope with growing shortage in power supply in Java and other regions. Under the crash program PLN is building coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 10,000 megawatts to be completed in 2010 - 2011. The program starting in mid 2006 will include construction of 10 units of power generating plants with a total capacity of 6,900 MW in Java and 25 power generating plants with a capacity of 3,100 MW outside Java. The domestic demand for power is forecast to grow more than 9% annually in the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the government hopes to be able to meet 95% of household power requirement in 2018, up from 60.8% in 2007. A number of state banks and private banks have pledged to provide loans for the projects. Among the banks are Bank Mandiri, BNI, BRI, BCA and Bank Mega. The banks have been known to be involved in financing large infrastructure projects including toll roads and telecommunication projects. A number of foreign banks especially Chinese banks have pledged loans for the power projects such as China Exim Bank, Bank of China and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). So far around 60% of the first crash program has been completed. In 2009, construction of a number of power plants with a total capacity of 2,000MW is expected to be completed including PLTU Banten and PLTU Rembang. The project of PLTU Indramayu, valued at around US$ 592 million is financed by Bank of China. Currently the project, which is part of the first crash program has been 71% completed. It is expected to be fully operational in September 2009. Meanwhile similar projects in Suralaya, Paiton, Pacitan, Pelabuhan Ratu, and Meulaboh are also to be financed by Chinese banks. The Suralaya and Paiton projects valued at US$ 615 million are now 64% completed financed by China Exim Bank, which already disbursed US$188 million. The projects in Pacitan, Pelabuhan Ratu, and Meulaboh are still in the process of negotiations all valued at around US$899 million. Meanwhile, China Development Bank has agreed to provide a loan of US$262 million for PLTU Rembang.

The government is optimistic that the construction of the power generating under the first crash program will be completed as scheduled although there has been delay in the disbursement of fund over disagreement in interest rate and the case of aircraft involving state airline company Merpati Nusantara Airlines, which failed to fully honor its contract to buy a number of aircraft from Chinas aircraft maker Xian Aircraft Industry. Second Crash Program to cost US$17.3 billion Vice President Jusuf Kalla has instructed PLN to immediately prepare for the launch of the second phase of the crash program building more power plants with a total capacity of 10,000MW. Tenders for the projects will be held in the second quarter of this year for projects to be built by independent power producers (IPP) and in the third quarter of this year for projects to be built by PLN. The second phase of the crash program will include construction of coal-fired power plants to make up 26% of the total additional capacity, hydropower and geothermal power plants to account for 60% and gas fired power plants for 14%. Investment needed for the second phase is around US$ 17.3 billion including US$ 15 billion for power plants and the rest for transmission and distribution systems. The projects to be built by PLN will cost around US$ 3.8 billion and those to be carried out by IPP to cost around US$ 13.5 billion. According to plan, PLN will build power generating plants with a total capacity of 3,600 MW, and IPP to build power generating plants with a total capacity of 6,400 MW. The government hands over the projects to the private sector as PLN has limited financing capacity. The private investors will be selected through tenders. Currently the government is finalizing the preparation for the tender documents. The government is considering providing guarantee for bank loans used for the PLN projects.

Financial performance PLN needs large fund for investment. Its income from its subscribers is not enough to cover its investment. The financial performance of the state company could improve with the growing power consumption of 9% annually in the country in the next 10 years. In the first half of 2008, PLN posted Rp78 trillion in income up from Rp52 trillion in the previous year. The increase in income was attributable to both an increase in sales and subsidy from the government. PLN hopes to be able to meet 95.5% of household power requirement in 2018, up from 60% in 2007. In 2009 it plans to invest in transmission network in the form of project program valued at Rp10.73 trillion including Rp3.7 trillion for power projects of 10,000 MW and Rp7.03 trillion for electric energy evacuation. The Rp10.73 trillion investment is to be covered with the bond fund of Rp1.5 trillion, state budget fund Rp2.4 trillion, export credits Rp5.5 trillion, and syndication Rp1.33 trillion. In the first half of 2008, PLN posted a net loss of Rp1.9 trillion and had a current liabilities of Rp155 trillion. Its earning before tax, interest, and amortization (EBTIDA) in 2008 was valued at Rp17 trillion, up from Rp13.3 trillion in 2007 and from only Rp9 trillion in 2006 and 2005. Its debt to EBTIDA ratio in 2008 dropped to 6.3 times from 15.7 times in 2007. The net loss posted by PLN was caused by cost of fund and foreign exchange loss. Its income in the first half of 2008 reached Rp78 trillion or a 50% increase year-on-year. The financial performance of PLN is propped up with additional electricity subsidy from the government. Financing by state banks PLN has received Rp21 trillion in loans to finance its second crash program. A consortium of three state banks has agreed to provide Rp21 trillion of its total requirement of Rp90 trillion. The deficit will be sought from foreign financers. The Rp21 trillion fund will be enough to cover funding in three years until 2010. Meanwhile, BRI said the Rp21 trillion loan is for three years to be serviced Rp7 trillion every year. 68

The government has also established a financing company PT Sarana Multi Infrastrukture (SMI) which will finance infrastructure projects.

informatics products is low accounting for less than 5% of the capital spending by producers. The industry recorded production valued at Rp51.85 trillion last year or an increase of 13.38% from the previous year.

The government will set aside Rp7 trillion to increase the countrys capacity to produce organic fertilizers including bio-fertilizers in a bid to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer. Earlier Agriculture Minister Anton Apriyantono said.

Indonesia still is dependent on imports for most of its chemical fertilizer requirement like KCl, ZA, he was quoted as saying GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS ZERO % EXPORT TAX ON CPO . The government will maintain the export tax of 0% on crude palm oil for April, 2009 based on the average price of that commodity in Rotterdam a month earlier . The price in Rotterdam averaged US$558.38 per ton in March or below the price level of US$700 that requires the slapping of an export tax. The trade ministry has not issued a new export benchmark price on which the export tax will be set. Based on the government regulation No. 55/2008 , a 1.5% export duty will be slapped on CPO if the average price of that commodity reaches US$701 to US$750 per ton and the export tax will be 3% if the price reaches US$751US$800 per tons. Meanwhile, Indonesias exports of crude palm oil (CPO) and derivatives are forecast to rise by up to 7% to 15.5 million tons this year from 14.1 million tons last year. A chairman of the association of palm oil companies (Gapki) Susanto said strong demands are still expected from India, China and Europe to offset a decline in demand from the United States A number of factors including soybean production , the price of crude oil and industrial growth in destination countries will determine palm oil demand in the world market , he said. He said the worlds production of soybean is on the decline resulting in an increase in the price of that commodity. The price of CPO has been picking since early this year to reach US$550 per ton at present, he was quoted as saying by the newspaper Bisnis Indonesia. A decline has also been recorded in the production of CPO by Indonesia and Malaysia, which both dominate CPO production in the world. ***
