Constrained Subsidized Bulk Cooking Oil

The subsidized bulk cooking oil program faces obstacles from the production to distribution stages which have made supply and price stable in the market until now.
The government is deemed necessary to intervene in the distribution of subsidized bulk cooking oil so that the public can immediately enjoy it at an affordable price. Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said the challenges of implementing the program to provide subsidized bulk cooking oil were complex and varied. There are barriers on all fronts, from manufacturers, distributors, to retailers. "We are trying to break it down one by one and find a solution quickly," he said in a press statement. Data collection on distribution channels in the Simirah application plays an important role in monitoring the distribution of subsidized bulk cooking oil. Agus also appealed to producers to be more orderly and accurate in entering data so that the distribution of the subsidized cooking oil program is well documented and any problems in the field can be quickly detected and resolved. Spokesman for the Ministry of Industry, Febri Hendri, added that another violation occurred at the distribution stage, namely an indication of a distribution monopoly. The first distributor at the provincial level, the second distributor at the district/city level, as well as retail agents are suspected to be owned by the same person. By using various methods such as repacking bulk cooking oil, the price formed in the market is finally above HET. Tauhid Ahmad, Executive Director of the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance, said that the government needs to intervene to stabilize supply and prices. One of them is by giving an assignment to Perum Bulog.

Central Bank Policy Direction: Monetary Easing Continues

In the board of governors (RDG) meeting yesterday, Bank Indonesia (BI) decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate of the BI 7-Day Reverse Repo Rate at 3.5%,
and remains committed to being a standby buyer in the primary market for Government Securities (SBN). In fact, the central bank of the United States (US) The Fed is ready to tighten policy in line with increasing concerns about the inflation rate. This was done by stopping the purchase of government bonds and raising the benchmark interest rate. However, according to BI Governor Perry Warjiyo, the Fed is still accommodative and thinks it is too early to reduce monetary policy stimulus or taper. “We see the Fed's tapering will not happen this year. We will monitor it from time to time if there are new indicators that drive change," Perry said the positive developments in global financial markets will have an impact on increasing foreign capital inflows to developing countries, including Indonesia, and also strengthen currencies in various countries. . According to him, the high inflation rate in the US is temporary. Fundamental inflationary pressures are predicted to occur next year and 2023. In addition, the unemployment rate in the US is still quite high. In line with that, Perry gave a strong signal to reduce the purchase of SBN in the primary market or tapering off at the beginning of next year. Most likely BI's position will be ahead of the curve or ahead of the tapering conducted by the Fed.

LIGHT Insurance Issuer

Based on data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and information on the official website of each company, as many as 13 insurance issuers have published their financial statements for the first quarter of 2021.

PT Pemeringkat Efek Indonesia (Pefindo) analysts Hasnalia Hanifah and Danan Dito assess that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on the acceptance of new business in the insurance and reinsurance industry. Weaker macroeconomic conditions and slower top-line growth have lowered the underwriting performance of the industry. Nevertheless, Pefindo hopes that the insurance and reinsurance industry can maintain a sufficient buffer on solvency provisions, with adequate industry liquidity.

Temporarily Stop One Batch AstraZeneca

The government temporarily suspended the distribution and use of the AstraZeneca vaccine batch (production batch) coded CTMAV547.
The Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) will test the toxicity and sterility of this vaccine. "This is a precautionary measure by the government to ensure the safety of this vaccine," said the Ministry of Health's vaccination spokeswoman, Siti Nadia Tarmizi, yesterday. He added, all AstraZeneca batch vaccines outside of CTMAV547 can be used and continue to be distributed to the public. Toxicity is the property of a substance to cause damage when exposed to an organism's structure, such as a cell or organ. Meanwhile, sterility is tested to determine whether the vaccine given is clean from germs or other micro-organisms. The cessation of the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine with the code CTMAV547 was forgotten after reports of the death of Trio Fauqi Virdaus, a resident of Buaran, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta. The trio were said to have had a fever after receiving the vaccine on May 6. His condition was brought and still had a fever, then he went to the hospital. However, after being treated for a while, Trio was declared dead at around 12.30 WIB. The National Commission for Post-Immunization Adverse Events (KIPI) wrote to BPOM regarding the Trio incident on 10 May. Komnas KIPI stated that it had not received enough evidence for the death of the young man from Jakarta with the Covid-19 vaccination. Based on Komnas KIPI data, to date, there has never been an incident of people dying from the Covid-19 vaccination in Indonesia.

Startup Megamerger: Goto Domination Test

The mega-merger between PT Application Karya Anak Bangsa or Gojek and PT Tokopedia,
nicknamed GoTo, will pave the way for the ambitions of the two companies to be listed on the stock exchange, as well as confirm their dominance in the country's digital ecosystem. The biggest challenge is not because of financial matters, but precisely when this initial stock has the potential to become a bone of contention for many parties. Head of Regulation and Government of the Indonesian Digital Empowering Community (IDIEC) Ardian Asmar assessed that financially, GoTo's initial public offering (IPO) did not have significant obstacles. The investors behind the two companies have jumbo capital. He even suspected that when the IPO was carried out there would be an oversubscription or oversubscription. However, according to him, this is precisely what small-scale investors need to be wary of. “My guess is that those who bought it were the same. Be careful for small and medium class investors whose analysis is not strong," said Ardian. In addition, GoTo still needs to prove to the public that the company really has a good performance. The reason is that both Gojek and Tokopedia are known as companies that fight in the area that prioritizes the action of 'burning money'. The significant growth in the number of users as a result of excessive promotion is still a burden for the company. "Not to mention talking from the marketing side which is too big. The first Gojek user immediately gets IDR 50,000, who pays?" said Ardian. As reported by Bloomberg, if the process goes smoothly, GoTo's valuation is estimated to be around US$40 billion from the current US$17 billion. Gojek holds 58% of the shares and the other 42% is owned by Tokopedia. Regarding the IPO plan, Gojek's Chief of Corporate Affairs Nila Marita said his party was still waiting for the right moment. What is clear, he admits that the merger accelerates the IPO plan.

Improve Donation Management

Governance in the collection of money and donated goods needs to be continuously improved in order to increase the leverage of the community's social generosity.
The principles of transparency, consistency, certainty of allocation, competence, and accountability must be put forward. Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini, in Jakarta, said that the government continues to carry out efforts to improve governance. Good governance is important to ensure that the potential for social philanthropy can be channeled for the common good. He encouraged the public to channel their assistance to official and trusted institutions. “If the institution cannot be trusted, the community will be reluctant to help. This is because the community as aid providers need clear accountability from charitable institutions. Likewise, the programs must be clear," he said. In fact, if generosity is able to lift people out of poverty, it can encourage the birth of new benefactors who come from community groups that were previously assisted. Thus, generosity will have a multiplier effect for the nation to come together from the pandemic. Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Anton Supit said that the involvement of the business world and conglomerates in encouraging economic growth through philanthropic actions that have social impacts needs to be optimized. "There are entrepreneurs who have given honestly and sincerely, but maybe not much, and there are still those who are only economic oriented," he said.

Anticipating New Clusters, Karawang Supervises Industrial Workers

Karawang Regent Cellica Nurrchadiana said the policy was in accordance with the Karawang Regent Circular (SE) No 443/2753 concerning Supervision of Control for Workers in the Company's Environment after the Lebaran 1442 H Long Holiday.
He said he had asked the company to take steps to anticipate the spread of Covid-19, especially for workers who are forced to travel back and forth outside the Karawang area. "The company must collect data for workers who are forced to travel back and forth," In addition to asking companies to register their workers, he also instructed workers who were forced to travel back and forth to carry out a Covid-19 swab test, either antigen or genose. In accordance with applicable rules and regulations, he added, workers must undergo a swab test before entering the Karawang Regency area. Cellica also requires companies to request and receive Covid-19 test results on the first day of work. In that way, he hopes to be able to detect workers who are reactive to Covid-19 so that they can be handled more quickly. Spokesperson for the Covid-19 Task Force for the Karawang Regency, Fitra Hergyana, said in the Regent's SE there was also supervision and control of community residents after the Eid holiday. He asked the sub-district and village officials to take anticipatory steps for residents who are caught traveling back and forth.
