扣緊潛在商機 開創台印雙邊交流

作者:文▓方文章

長期以來,台灣與印尼互為重要的經貿夥伴,建立雙邊合作交流的堅實基礎,經濟文化互動愈趨密切。本會為致力於促進雙方進一步交流,協助兩國雙邊關係的開展,不遺餘力,並相信在雙方密切互動下,將有助於兩國人民的交誼、經貿關係的增進,對有意前往印尼布局投資、開創商機的台商,亦可盡棉薄之力。
本會繼去(2014)年8月間,籌組中印尼文經訪問團,創造豐碩的成果之後,今年3月再度與經濟部、駐台北印尼經濟貿易代表處合作辦理「印尼投資、貿易暨工業研討會」,引起廣大迴響。在印尼副總統特別顧問主席Sofyan Wanandi帶領下,包括印尼工業部長Saleh Husin 及印尼投資協調委員會(BKPM)主席Franky Sibarani等
人,於研討會中,說明印尼最新投資政策、工商業投資環境與商機,吸引不少台商共襄盛舉,參與人潮擠滿會場。印尼副總統特別顧問主席SofyanWanandi並於會後率團拜會本人,就雙邊進一步的投資合作進行晤談。
印尼,為「東南亞國協」(ASEAN)重要成員國,隨著東協新興市場的崛起,經濟表現亮眼,消費信心強勁,吸引外資前進東協諸國,印尼也將展現更大的企圖心、追求更大的成長。儘管受到出口與投資不振的影響,去年印尼經濟成長率降至5年來新低(5.0%),但專家預測,印尼經濟應已於去年第4季觸底,深信在總統佐科威(Joko Widodo)的新政帶動下,未來整體經濟將有嶄新而亮眼的表現,潛力無窮。
亞洲開發銀行最新報告顯示,過去4年印尼經濟持續走軟,但隨著政府當局持續致力政經改革,改善投資環境,將有助於刺激未來2年的成長力道。事實上,佐科威上台以來所進行的各項改革,已有立竿見影之效。其中,對能源補貼的削減,讓印尼可騰出預算,從事公共建設與社福改革,令人耳目一新。相信在一連串有利的改革導引下,政府當局能貫徹加強基礎建設、提振出口加工業、降低物流成本並改善預算執行能力,今年印尼經濟成長率可望增至5.5%,並逐年成長,預估於明年達到6.0%。
隨著經貿環境的變遷,可以看出近幾年台商對印尼的投資結構也產生變化。2010至2014年,台商投資集中在造紙與印刷產業,達8.17億美元,並於2012年達到最高峰,全年投資額達到6.06億美元。2013年,以非金屬礦業為主力,全年投資額達到3.54億美元。2014年全年投資額雖下滑至1.15億美元,但主要投資朝向紡織、金屬、機械及電子產業發展,領域更形擴大,在政治穩定及新政催化下,台商正醞釀及計畫的投資額也回升至15.02億美元。
透過最新資訊的交流,分享市場趨勢與科技發展,加強台灣與印尼之間互惠互利的經貿合作,一向是本會所秉持的使命與投注心力的所在,這也正是本專刊發行的宗旨。本人由衷期望,透過本專刊有關印尼經濟與工業發展的精闢分析,以及台商在印尼的投資經驗與故事,讓所有會員對這個東南亞最大的新興經濟體能有更深入而全面的瞭解,進而掌握市場脈動,緊扣印尼鼓勵外商投資政策所開啟的潛在商機,開創台灣與印尼雙邊經貿投資新局。

 

Economic and Cultural Exchange Between Taiwan and Indonesia Chugging Ahead

With the long-established and strong economic, trade and cultural partnership between Taiwan and Indonesia as its base, the Sino-Indonesian Cultural and Economic Association (SICEA) has been committed both to promoting interaction and communication between these two countries on mutual concerns and to helping Taiwanese businesses explore and expand the inherent trade and investment opportunities.
Following on from the great success of our delegation to Indonesia in August last year, SICEA, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the Indonesian Economic and Trade Office in Taipei co-hosted a seminar titled ‘Prospects and Opportunities in Investment, Trade and Industry in Indonesia’ in March of this year. On that occasion, it was both a great honor and a pleasure for us to welcome a delegation from Indonesia led by the Honorable Mr Sofyan Wanandi, Advisor to the Vice President of Indonesia. The members of the delegation included Mr Saleh Husin, Minister of Industries, the Republic of Indonesia, and Mr Franky Sibarani, Chairman of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). During the seminar, Minister Husin and Mr Sibarani
introduced Indonesia’s latest investment policies and current business environment to a full house of local businesspersons. It was a great success. After the seminar, Mr Wanandi led the delegation in paying me a visit for discussion of further bilateral cooperation.
Indonesia plays a leading role among the ASEAN countries.
Moreover, this group of nations - with its record of continuous economic growth, a huge and booming market and powerful consumption capacity - provides a boost to Indonesia’s further growth in terms of its labor and natural resources. Although Indonesia’s economic growth rate last year slipped to 5.0% - its lowest during the previous five years - as a result of weakened exports and investments, it should be noted that experts reckoned it bottomed-out in the final quarter of last year and forecast that the situation would pick up the pace thereafter under all the policy reforms urged by President Widodo.
Accordingtothe Asian Development Bank, the policy reforms aimed at improving the investment climate in Indonesia are expected to spur economic recovery this year and next after 5 years of decelerating growth. The ambitious reform agenda of the country’s new government led by President Widodo has scored some important early successes, exemplified by the bold measure to reform the fuel subsidy having already freed-up significant public funding
for improving social and physical infrastructure. If the momentum of rapid reform can be maintained and the new President’s administration follows through with policies to bolster infrastructure development, improve export-oriented manufacturing, reduce logistical costs and enhance budget implementation, Indonesia’s growth could be expected to recover to 5.5% this year and 6.0% in 2016.
The structure of Taiwanese investment in Indonesia has changed according to the way in which the trade environment has evolved. From 2010 to 2014, Taiwan’s investment in Indonesia was focused on the field of paper and printing: the total for this period was US$817 million, peaking in 2012 with US$606 million for that year alone. In 2013, attention shifted to the non-metal mining industry and Taiwanese investment in that sector was US$354 million, slipping
to US$115 million in 2014. Taiwan’s major investments in Indonesia have now moved towards textiles, metals, machinery and electronics.
In the light of the encouraging reform policies pursued by the new government, Taiwanese investment in Indonesia is gaining momentum with currently-planned investments rebounding to US$1.5 billion.
SICEA has an abiding tradition of recognizing that the existing mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation between Taiwan and Indonesia could be strengthened through sharing information such as the latest market trends and on cutting-edge technologies; and that is what this special mid-year issue is
intended to achieve. I sincerely urge all of you to read this special issue in the expectation that its insightful analysis of Indonesia’s economy and industries and its stories of Taiwan’s businesses investing there will provide you with a better understanding of southeast Asia’s biggest market - and thereby help Taiwan’s businesses seize in a timely manner the opportunities offered by the country’s incentive-driven investment policies.
