哈迪：東爪哇省啟動引擎 拚經濟

經改奏效 抓緊機會共創雙贏
　　於今(2015)年10月19日上午在台北寒舍艾美酒店舉辦之印尼東爪哇省投資說明會中，哈迪鼓勵台商抓緊機遇共創雙贏商機。他說，印尼擁有1萬7,000多島嶼，海岸線全球第四長，1,100多種種族與700多種語言，天然資源與傳統文化豐富多采，而且國土面積居東南亞國協10國之冠，人口占該區總人口40％，目前是G20成員國，經濟實力排名全球16-17名左右，加以積極進行經濟改革與基礎建設，雖然暫受全球景氣低迷拖累，但無論是成長潛力或未來前景，依舊廣被國際調查機構看好。
　　富產黃金、onyx、dolomite、鐵礦、石油與天然氣等天然資源的東爪哇省，地處印尼的中間要衝，西接首府雅加達等經濟發達地區，東控峇里島與其他亟待發展的連綿群島，不但是印尼國內商務與貿易的中心，更是對外經濟合作與貿易的窗口。哈迪指出，東爪哇省人口近3,900萬，但市場覆蓋印尼東部約1.2億人口，近年來該省經濟成長率高於全國水準，與境內其他地區的貿易享有可觀的順差。總統佐科威更將東爪哇列為發展重心，除了加強與東鄰的東帝汶、巴布亞新幾內亞、澳洲諸國的經貿合作，更借力東協市場與台灣、中國大陸、香港、日本、韓國開展對外貿易，東爪哇省的戰略地理位置之重要性可見一斑。

大興土木 基礎建設火速進行
　　近年來，東爪哇省大興土木，諸如港口、機場、高速公路、工業區與倉儲等均如火如荼進行，其中以首府泗水及其周邊的TelukLamong港口與國際機場擴建為代表：Teluk Lamong過去僅是個淺水港，未來將成為智慧型深水港，竣工後印尼可直接出口至其他國家，毋須再借道新加坡；原僅1跑道的泗水國際機場，此刻正新建第2條跑道，完成後預計旅客人次可擴增至目前近3倍。
　　印尼經濟現仍處於全力衝刺的起飛期，中產階級迅速形成，所得激增，中小企業欣欣向榮。台灣活力充沛的中小企業發展經年，成就舉世共睹，深值為數眾多的印尼中小企業借鏡。哈迪說：「印尼商機處處，很多投資機會連我自己想都想不到，值得台商探索發掘，歡迎到東爪哇。」


Strategic Location, Ample Resources
Hadi: East Java Accelerates Economic Engine

  The East Java Provincial Administration made four promises to facilitate land provision, supply skilled labor, provide abundant electricity, and streamline license procedure,” said Dr. Ir. Jamhadi, Chairman of Surabaya Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Aide to the  provincial Governor, “According to new President Jokowi’s aggressive reform agenda, the East Java Province has become the focus of Indonesia’s future economic development. We sincerely welcome Taiwanese businesses to participate in the booming market.”

Win-win Opportunity
  In the seminar on East Java’s Investment Environment and Opportunity held at Le Meridien Taipei Hotel on October 19th, Jamhadi encouraged Taiwanese companies to grasp this winwin opportunity, saying that comprised of more than 17,000 islands, the archipelago Indonesia has the world’s top fourth coastline length, more than 1,100 ethnic tribes and 700 languages, abundant natural resources and colorful variety of local traditional cultures. With 40% of the total population and the largest land of the ASEAN’s 10 countries, the economic prowess of Indonesia cannot be ignored: it is G20 member, and its economy size is ranked between 16th and 17th in the world. Although it cannot avoid being dragged by the global overwhelming sluggishness, the country still manages to achieve brilliant growth and thus obtains high ratings from world organizations and market research companies.
  Rich in gold, onyx, dolomite, iron, oil, and natural gas, the East Java Province is located in the center of Indonesia, connecting the capital Jakarta area in the west and Bali and further islands in the east. The province plays the key role either in terms of domestic or
international trade, and it is the gateway to cooperation with other countries. “East Java Province’s population is 39 million, but its service area covers the whole east side which has total population of 1,200 million. Its GDP growth remains above national average over the recent years, and it enjoys trade surplus with the other regions of Indonesia. Jokowi announced his intentions to focus on development of East Indonesia and cooperation with the eastern countries such as Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. Of course, the ASEAN provides another stepping stone for Indonesia to expand trade with Taiwan, mainland, China, Hong Kong, Japan,  Korea, and other countries in the north Asia. And East Java, without doubt, is the bridge between the regions and countries in the east and ASEAN countries in the west and north.

Vast Infrastructure
  Improvements on port Teluk Lamong and Surabaya International Airport epitomize East Java’s effort to revamp infrastructure. The future Teluk Lamong w ill be a deep and smart seaport, enabling East Java to export directly bypassing Singapore. As the international
airport adds two new runways, it will accommodate triple the current passengers.
  Indonesia’s economy is still at the early stage of taking flight. The middle class is quickly forming. Indonesian people’s income is increasing. And there rises a plethora of small and medium sized companies. The world-famous energetic and flexible SMEs in Taiwan
can provide much-needed help to the Indonesian counterparts. Hadi said that there are a lot of opportunities in Indonesia’s virgin
market, which are still beyond his imagination and waiting for Taiwan’s businessmen to explore. East Java is opening its arms to welcome Taiwan’s investors.
