Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian mengungkap peringkat daya saing Indonesia naik sebanyak 7 tingkat pada tahun 2024 ini, atau yang tertinggi dalam 6 tahun terakhir. Berdasarkan Riset Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Competitiveness Ranking (WCR) 2024, Indonesia tercatat menduduki posisi ke-27 dari 67 negara.

Peringkat tersebut meningkat dibanding tahun 2023 lalu, dimana Indonesia berada di posisi ke-34. Di Asia Tenggara sendiri, daya saing Indonesia berhasil menjadi 3 besar setelah Singapura dan Thailand.

Menko Perekonomian Airlangga Hartarto menilai, kenaikan tersebut tak lepas dari upaya konkret Pemerintah, termasuk peran Undang-undang Cipta Kerja. “Ini merupakan wujud konkret atas upaya Pemerintah dalam meningkatkan kemudahan berusaha dan menciptakan iklim investasi yang baik bagi para investor melalui implementasi Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja,” tutur Airlangga.

Kenaikan peringkat daya saing tersebut didukung oleh peningkatan pada faktor efisiensi bisnis (dari peringkat ke-20 menjadi ke-14), efisiensi pemerintah (dari peringkat ke-31 menjadi ke-23), dan performa ekonomi (dari peringkat ke-29 menjadi ke-24).

00:00I am the World Competitiveness Ranking 2024.
00:03The Indonesian competition rank has risen to the 27th place in the world,
00:07from 67 countries.
00:09And for Southeast Asia, Indonesia is in the 3rd place,
00:13after Singapore, which managed to place first in the world,
00:17and Thailand, in the 25th place.
00:20Indonesia is in the top 3,
00:22after Singapore, which managed to place first in the world,
00:25and Thailand, in the 25th place.
00:27Indonesia is in the top 3,
00:29after Singapore, which managed to place first in the world,
00:33and Thailand, in the 25th place.
00:38The Indonesian competition rank has risen to the 27th place in the world.
00:42In the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2024,
00:45it has risen up to 7th place out of 34 countries in the world in 2023.
00:51And for Southeast Asia,
00:53Indonesia is in the top 3,
00:55Indonesia and the Philippines.
00:57The increase of competition power in Indonesia
00:59is due to the increase of economic performance,
01:01the ability to attract capital,
01:03and the growth of domestic products.
01:05As a result, this year, the economic performance
01:07of Southeast Asia is very good.
01:09In determining the level of competition power
01:11at the World Competitiveness Center,
01:13using four indicators,
01:15which are economic performance,
01:17government efficiency, business efficiency,
01:19and infrastructure.
01:21From these four indicators,
01:23Indonesia was able to achieve a high level of business efficiency,
01:25government efficiency,
01:27and economic performance.
01:31Nevertheless, Indonesia is still considered
01:33quite weak in terms of infrastructure availability.
01:35Regarding business efficiency,
01:37the thing that managed to reach Indonesia's score
01:39is the massive availability of jobs,
01:41the effectiveness of company management,
01:43the behavior and values ​​of the community
01:45that support the efficiency of the company.
01:49Nevertheless, the financial and productivity
01:51of the company still needs to be improved.
01:55For government efficiency,
01:57Indonesia's lowest value is related to
01:59business legislation that supports
02:01the competitiveness of the private sector,
02:03such as trade regulations, competition,
02:05and labor force.
02:07The second worst level is related to
02:09social structures that measure justice,
02:11law enforcement, income, and gender equality.
02:13Meanwhile, for tax and fiscal public policy
02:15related to the efficiency of the central bank
02:17and the public bank,
02:19Indonesia was able to achieve a good level.
02:23Jakarta Tim Liputan, Addition.
02:49Thank you for your time.
02:51This has been mentioned earlier.
02:53So, how do you see the growth
02:55of the Indonesian manufacturing sector
02:57especially in the subsector of the industry
02:59such as the furniture industry
03:01and other manufacturing industries?
03:11Before going there,
03:13I would like to say
03:15what was mentioned in the IMD level.
03:17As we can see,
03:19there is a good increase in the ranking.
03:21This needs to be appreciated.
03:23But,
03:25mostly,
03:27it comes from
03:29the components
03:31that are more related to
03:33economic performance.
03:35We know that
03:37last year and
03:392022,
03:41Indonesia's economic performance
03:43is above average.
03:45But, it is also supported by
03:47the commodity boom.
03:49So, it provides a large market.
03:51But, if we look at
03:53other components,
03:55such as infrastructure,
03:57or even regulation,
03:59business environment,
04:01it does not
04:03make us happy.
04:05Either stagnant,
04:07or even decrease.
04:09For example,
04:11international trade regime
04:13or international investment
04:15experienced a decrease
04:17in the ranking.
04:19This shows that
04:21all this time,
04:23we are still considered
04:25as a country
04:27or economy
04:29that provides
04:31opportunities
04:33from the market.
04:35When various parties
04:37come to Indonesia,
04:39investors come to Indonesia,
04:41to the market.
04:43This will be a problem
04:45in our manufacturing industry
04:47when the market
04:49in the country
04:51is not getting better.
04:53Meanwhile, we cannot
04:55become a hub for production
04:57or to serve
04:59the international market.
05:01This causes
05:03a narrow
05:05market
05:07and opportunities for
05:09regulation.
05:11This may also
05:13cause foreign
05:15or domestic
05:17investment
05:19to not see this as
05:21a good opportunity.
05:23That's it.
05:25It's related to your point of view.
05:27It's related to the ranking from 34th
05:29to 27th.
05:31We are now joined by
05:33Mr. Abdul Sabur.
05:35Hello, Mr. Abdul Sabur.
05:37Good morning.
05:39Good morning.
05:41How are you?
05:43I'm fine.
05:45Thank you, Mr. Abdul Sabur.
05:47He is the General Director of HIMKI,
05:49the Association of Industry Mobile
05:51and Indonesian Crafts.
05:53Mr. Yosef has told us
05:55about CSIS's view
05:57on Indonesia's position.
05:59Indonesia's competitiveness
06:01has risen from 34th to 27th.
06:03As an industrialist,
06:05what is the real situation
06:07on the ground?
06:09There is also
06:13a growth
06:15from commodity.
06:17Meanwhile, we
06:19on the manufacturing side
06:21evaluate that
06:23we are experiencing
06:25deindustrialization.
06:27We see that
06:29in 2010,
06:31the index of GDP
06:33was around 25 percent.
06:35Now, it's only 17 percent.
06:37It has decreased a lot.
06:39We feel that in the
06:41furniture and crafts industry,
06:43there are also
06:45some companies
06:47that hang on to Vietnam.
06:49Some of our members
06:51hang on to Vietnam
06:53because they are more
06:55conducive,
06:57and their business
06:59is more productive.
07:01As a result,
07:03we see that our competitiveness
07:05has decreased.
07:07For the furniture and crafts industry
07:09that we manage,
07:11in 2021, there is
07:13an incredible growth
07:15of around
07:1727 percent.
07:19It is the highest growth
07:21in our history.
07:23However, it is not
07:25a constant growth.
07:27It is a pent-up growth.
07:29There are a lot of purchases,
07:31but in the next year,
07:332022, there will be a decrease.
07:35Maybe the stock is still available,
07:37so that the goods
07:39in the market are still stored,
07:41and there will be a decrease
07:43in the demand for exports
07:45to us.
07:47And now, maybe in 2024,
07:49the second semester,
07:51this is just starting to show up again.
07:53Because macro-wise,
07:55we are experiencing difficulties
07:57because of the war,
07:59because of the global situation
08:01that is
08:03prolonged.
08:05This also affects the increase
08:07in the cost of housing, Mr. Pras.
08:09It's starting to get difficult again,
08:11like when COVID-19 hit.
08:13And the price is
08:15very high.
08:17Those are the problems we are facing
08:19right now. So,
08:21to talk about growth,
08:23it's difficult.
08:25Maybe domestically,
08:27we are experiencing growth.
08:29There is a growth rate of 5%.
08:31Domestically, it's also
08:33starting to improve.
08:35And for the furniture industry,
08:37unfortunately, it is also disturbed
08:39by foreign companies.
08:41Like IKEA,
08:43and so on.
08:45More than 40 brands have come here
08:47to target the market in our country.
08:49That's it, sir.
08:51That's what I'm worried about, Mr. Yose.
08:53The development of the industry in Indonesia
08:55is just making Indonesia
08:57as a market for their products.
08:59So, it increases
09:01the competition that is getting tighter.
09:03Mr. Yose, how do you see it?
09:05As Mr. Yose said,
09:07industrialists are worried
09:09about the deindustrialization.
09:11Yes. Actually,
09:13when we talk about industry
09:15or other economic activities,
09:18we can see that
09:20it depends on two things.
09:22Two main factors.
09:24The first one is the production cost.
09:26The operational cost.
09:28And of course,
09:30the other one is
09:32the market availability.
09:34We can see here
09:36how the
09:38Indonesian manufacturing industry
09:40has long been
09:42faced with
09:44very high
09:46industrial or production costs.
09:48And it keeps increasing.
09:50There are efforts
09:52that can be done
09:54by various parties to reduce
09:56the production cost.
09:58From the energy side,
10:00from the labor side,
10:02from the other side,
10:04plus the investment cost
10:06that we still
10:08have to
10:10admit that it exists.
10:12And it's very burdensome.
10:14Then, the market itself.
10:16I see that
10:18most of
10:20our industry,
10:22both domestically
10:24and internationally,
10:26depends on the domestic market.
10:28The domestic market
10:30doesn't really
10:32look at the market.
10:34For example, the export market.
10:36We're talking about the general market,
10:38the manufacturing industry.
10:40Because most of them still
10:42want to get
10:44a large market in the country.
10:46Meanwhile, those from abroad,
10:48even big names,
10:50all kinds of
10:52multinational companies,
10:54they also come to Indonesia,
10:56not wanting to make Indonesia
10:58their production hub,
11:00their production facilities,
11:02but wanting to
11:04get a market in Indonesia.
11:06So, once again,
11:08this may also be
11:10related to various regulations.
11:12Indonesia
11:14tends to make
11:16Indonesia
11:18a market, but
11:20doesn't push
11:22those companies to make
11:24Indonesia as a production hub.
11:26As a hub of production
11:28to serve the markets
11:30abroad. Whereas we see
11:32that the foreign market
11:34is weakening, but the foreign market
11:36is hundreds of times bigger
11:38than our domestic market.
11:40Our domestic market.
11:42Unlimited. China,
11:44even if it's that big,
11:46still
11:48wants to export.
11:50A large market.
11:52Even though they already have
11:54a large domestic market.
11:56So, this is
11:58the picture,
12:00if we want to see it.
12:02These two things need to be fixed.
12:04And here, the government
12:06has a big role
12:08to reduce costs,
12:10and secondly, to expand
12:12the market of our products.
12:14Okay. There are still many challenges
12:16in the market.
12:18Efficiency, other costs,
12:20maybe some are not expected,
12:22maybe there are additional costs
12:24there too. But we see that
12:26business efficiency is one of the values
12:28or the main factor
12:30in increasing competitiveness in Indonesia.
12:32We will discuss more in the next segment.
12:34Mr. Yossi and Mr. Abdul Sobur,
12:36we will take a short break.
12:38And Mr. Mirsa, make sure you are still with us.
12:57Yes, our discussion is getting more interesting.
12:59Related to increasing competitiveness
13:01in Indonesia.
13:03And we will continue our discussion
13:05with Mr. Yossi Harjaludan Amuri,
13:07Executive Director of CIS,
13:09and Mr. Abdul Sobur,
13:11Chairperson of Industry Mobile
13:13and Indonesian Crafts Association.
13:15Efficiency business is considered
13:17to be one of the main factors
13:19in increasing competitiveness
13:21in Indonesia.
13:23What do you think, Mr. Yossi?
13:25Is the efficiency already adequate
13:27as expected?
13:29Or is it just the industry sector
13:31that is already doing efficiency there?
13:33Or is it enough to support
13:35the increase of competitiveness in Indonesia?
13:37Yes, first of all,
13:39we have to see
13:41whether it is based on
13:43surveys.
13:45Unfortunately, the surveys are not
13:47random sampling.
13:49So, it also depends
13:51on who fills the survey
13:53or the situation
13:55that is given.
13:57Then, secondly, of course,
13:59there is a bit bias for certain sectors
14:01that, as we have discussed earlier,
14:03experience an increase
14:05not only in efficiency,
14:07but also an increase
14:09in their growth.
14:11For example,
14:13mining sectors
14:15or other sectors
14:17such as
14:19chemicals, and so on.
14:21Things like this
14:23certainly affect
14:25the results
14:27of the questionnaire itself.
14:29Secondly,
14:31efficiency itself depends
14:33on many things.
14:35Some issues,
14:37we have to admit
14:39that there are some things
14:41that have been successfully
14:43solved or improved
14:45in the
14:47business
14:49process.
14:51Especially related to
14:53infrastructure,
14:55logistics, for example.
14:57We can see that
14:59logistic costs
15:01have decreased significantly
15:03because the infrastructure has also
15:05improved over the past few years.
15:07Things like this
15:09also affect
15:11business efficiency.
15:13But if we look at it in general,
15:15more generally,
15:17business efficiency
15:19does not really
15:21experience a significant
15:23increase.
15:25Now, Pak Abdul Sobur,
15:27how far has the efficiency of business
15:29been done? As we know,
15:31the COVID pandemic has provided
15:33extraordinary learning,
15:35related to efficiency, cost production,
15:37and so on. How do you see it?
15:39Is the efficiency
15:41mature enough,
15:43optimal enough, or how?
15:45Yes, if we talk about
15:47efficiency, it must be abstract.
15:49There must be a comparison.
15:51For example, we
15:53go back to Vietnam.
15:55There are a number of components
15:57in terms of production costs
15:59and overall costs
16:01in running a business.
16:05For example,
16:07the revenue.
16:09The revenue here is not stable.
16:11In Vietnam,
16:13the revenue is fixed and no one protests.
16:15So,
16:17it does not become a
16:19political consumption
16:21of the government
16:23in this matter.
16:25For example, if we want to elect a government
16:27or a region, suddenly the RMB
16:29will change.
16:31It's energy.
16:33Our energy is very expensive.
16:35If we compare it
16:37with Vietnam, it's far now.
16:39Then logistics,
16:41it's the same.
16:43So, if we talk about efficiency,
16:45there are many
16:47components.
16:49We feel on the ground
16:51that we are very inefficient.
16:53If we talk about one thing
16:55that is the government's regulation
16:57in this matter with BI and OJK,
16:59Bungabang, sir.
17:01Bungabang is very high.
17:03It can be around 12%.
17:05Imagine, sir,
17:07in other countries, for example,
17:09in Japan, only 2% is the maximum.
17:11Singapore, Philippines,
17:13Malaysia, all are low,
17:15between 6%.
17:17So, when we argue
17:19efficiency with neighboring countries,
17:21like Malaysia and Vietnam,
17:23it's troublesome.
17:25It's a mess, sir.
17:27So, how can we have
17:29a better competitiveness
17:31or harmonize
17:33or whatever it is,
17:35we just deindustrialize.
17:37Because in the business competition,
17:39it's very concrete,
17:41very realistic.
17:43They will invest
17:45where the country
17:47provides ease of access
17:49and efficiency from all aspects.
17:51That's what we feel.
17:53So, how?
17:55If you look at the contribution
17:57from the craftsmanship industry,
17:59we know that our trade surplus
18:01is 49 percent.
18:03Is the orientation more to export
18:05but still benefit the domestic market?
18:07Our advantage,
18:09if there is no comparative advantage
18:11that we have,
18:13whether it's fabric,
18:15exotic goods,
18:17or bamboo,
18:19maybe we're not there yet.
18:21Fortunately, we're still like
18:23given by God,
18:25if there is a good trade surplus,
18:27we really stand
18:29with one condition where
18:31comparative advantage.
18:33Our national growth
18:35will also be built from mining.
18:37What God has given
18:39is not from a great innovation.
18:41It's also a matter of
18:43where it will end.
18:45If we can think
18:47more far with innovation.
18:49Okay.
18:51And lastly, Mr. Yossi,
18:53how do you see the strategy
18:55or the steps to be taken
18:57to maintain competitiveness?
18:59Almost all can be said,
19:01if possible, our industry sectors
19:03also face or have gone through
19:05the process of efficiency,
19:07then the increase in competitiveness
19:09is the criteria.
19:11So, in terms of competitiveness,
19:13Indonesia is already worthy.
19:17Of course, we have to look at
19:19various levels.
19:21Earlier, problems
19:23such as cost, efficiency,
19:25and so on,
19:27can be solved at the level of
19:29the micro, at the level of
19:31the company itself.
19:33The company must continue to innovate,
19:35must continue to do efficiency,
19:37and so on.
19:39But of course, there are things that
19:41must be solved at a more
19:43macro level, at the level of
19:45the ecosystem.
19:47This may be facilitated
19:49by the government.
19:51Especially earlier,
19:53for example, logistical problems,
19:55infrastructure, and so on.
19:57And it has been done all this time.
19:59But there are also problems
20:01like Mr.
20:03Aptosobor.
20:05Mr. Aptosobor gave
20:07an example
20:09about Bunga Bank.
20:11Bunga is high because
20:13the inflation is also quite high.
20:15But then we see
20:17again when the inflation
20:19is already low, it turns out
20:21that the Bunga tribe is not too
20:23low.
20:25This is also one of the reasons
20:27because indeed
20:29various
20:31instruments,
20:33national values,
20:35give a high level of Bunga tribe.
20:37For example,
20:396.5% or 7%
20:41SBN,
20:43of course the bank must also
20:45increase their Bunga tribe.
20:47So, whether you want it or not,
20:49you have to increase all of this.
20:51This is what we usually call in the economy
20:53crowding out effect.
20:55Because the government
20:57is trying to get
20:59money from the market,
21:01but in the end the money becomes more expensive.
21:03Especially in the private sector.
21:05And this is actually not
21:07a conducive thing
21:09for the increase
21:11of the private sector or
21:13the business world in Indonesia.
