Weaknesses of Indonesian Economic

Chamber of Indonesia Commerce and Industry (Kadin) declared Indonesian economy that is actually very promising for both domestic and foreign investors. However, there are still weaknesses seeing by Kadin of the economy that need to be addressed. Vice Chairman of Kadin Indonesia, Novian Anindya Bakrie said, promising Indonesian economy is evidenced by incoming investment, private consumption, and vibrant business world.

“But there are still some weaknesses that Indonesia’s economic structure needs to be addressed now,” said Anindya at Menara Kadin Jakarta, Wednesday (06/03/2013).

Anindya see Indonesia’s economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.

On the other hand, Anindya also highlights subsidy of oil (BBM) to the people who actually are not even on target. Current budget fuel subsidy enjoyed by the rich instead.

“As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the weakening of the rupiah,” he added.

Again, the actual budget for infrastructure even neglected. He rated in the last few months that there is no improvement of government policy so that a problem cannot be resolved. Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will pull out of Indonesia.

Our Economic Woes and Their Cure

Our greatest economic woe is that not many people around the world are buying our goods like they were before 2008. The reason is that there is large-scale unemployment in most places. This coupled with a large amount of debt, carried by governments, pension funds, and individuals, have left people and governments searching for solutions. For individuals and families, financial austerity is the answer, but all too many governments around the world are applying this same logic by cutting services to their citizens. Businesses will not create jobs until they see customers. They won’t see enough customers until unemployment is reduced. This is a problem without a solution unless the federal government steps in and creates jobs. We all know that our infrastructure needs a makeover. Now, at a time when our government can borrow at 1.6% on a 10 year loan, we should put aside our debt fears and do a job that needs to be done. This will create jobs, then customers, then the expansion of other businesses, and finally greater tax revenue to pay off the debt.

I hope we can be smarter now by avoiding the war that some of our politicians are aching for, and instead replace our ailing infrastructure with new, innovative solutions. Some projects can be: installing fiber optic cables in all cities, building a countrywide high-speed rail system, reworking our electric grid, subsidizing green industries, etc. True some existing industries will suffer, but just like the buggy-whip makers of old, they will have to find ways to adapt to the changes or fade out of existence.

The Effect Of Gas Price On The Economy

The USA consumes 400 million gallons of gasoline every day which has pushed gas prices to record highs, and having an all-pervasive and on-balance a damaging effect on the US economy. This makes that most motorists in the USA/Canada are shopping around to find the best deals on gas, but are still paying a lot more for it. High gas prices make people stop and think about their commute. This will affect the US economy. Analysts were predicting a gallon of regular to climb as high as $4.50 a gallon in California by Easter 2011. The effects of such big cost hikes will reduce available spending money for all those on average wages and below who need to travel significant distances in their cars, and this will further depress the US economy. Cars now are more fuel-efficient than they were in the 90s, so car owners can reduce your spending on gas by choosing fuel efficient vehicles. This will tend to raise car imports to the detriment of the US economy until the US manufacturers catch-up. It is not all bad news though. Companies that own oilfield reserves will be seeing the value of their resources growing, and businesses that are connected with the renewable energy market are growing rapidly right across the range of renewable energy sources from wind, to thermal energy, and of course that most popular of renewable sources which is solar. Renewable energy companies are growing fast and employing increased numbers of staff.

The Economics Of Free

One of the most interesting and unique economic phenomenon to emerge over the last 10 years is the impact of technology in creating products that are free to the consumer. The most unique aspect of this business model is that it generates tremendous profits for those who know how to use it correctly. However, the rapid acceleration of technology has enabled a business model centered around offering products, services, and content that is free to the end consumer. The cost per unit of computing power effectively drops in half every 18 months. This means that the cost of providing a product or service to an individual customer rapidly drops to very near zero. Thus, companies who have already built out a technology infrastructure can provide products and services at a very nominal cost. The thing that enables this model is the freedom from content containers such as books, DVD’s, phones, tablets, or some other device for holding or storing content. By specializing in software based technology products, companies can capture all of the cost advantages offered by Moore’s Law without being constrained by the cost of containers for their content. For example Google creates free access. This model is very similar to traditional television, but offers the ability for advertisers to narrow down their customer base much more finely than is available through the broad-brush of television advertisement. An adjacent business model that has spawned from this paradigm that is quickly challenging the traditional model of using copyright protection to restrict content distribution. In this model, you capture value not by marketing to customers in hopes that they will buy, but by attracting customers to you because of superior content and capturing value through relationships with advertisers and affiliates that pay a commission for access to customers who have been pre-qualified by accessing your content. The opportunity for web marketers comes from creating outstanding content that is appropriately optimized for search visibility to draw customers to your website, then sell access to that population of customers to advertisers and affiliates. In the end, this phenomenon of ‘free’ is continuing to shape the online marketplace and is expected to produce the infrastructure for even more new business models to emerge in the future. It represents a new paradigm that will pose tremendous problems to people and companies entrenched in the status quo and great opportunities to those who understand and leverage this new business model.
