Secretary-General of ASEAN Surin Pitsuwan said that ASEAN is hoped that all parties will act to ensure that all people can benefit from this tariff reduction.
As for the business community, especially the downstream producers, Dr Surin said that they too can fight for profits, “costs are lower income will allow the business community has a choice of a broader, and in the process of the process, they will move toward a more globally competitive , as described in the AEC Blueprint.

The Senate is considering the appointment of Bernanke repeated for the second round, and most likely he will indeed re-elected. But on the other hand, the public attacks and criticisms from Congress to the Central Bank has not been this high for decades.  Central Bank increasingly criticized after much bailout funds for Wall Street. However, in the midst of financial crisis, Bernanke is low-profile and calm appeared as a savior. “Ben is one that prevents us (Americans) fell from the edge of a cliff and fell into darkness,” said Lyle Gramley, a former Central Bank governor who is now senior economic adviser at Soleil Securities.  He hopes, Bernanke political position aided by the election of him as Person of the Year 2009. “Bernanke … understand that the economic situation would have been much more severe if the Central Bank did not take extreme measures to stop the panic,” he added.  According to Time, in an article about Bernanke, one of which referred to the extremes is the decline in interest rates to near zero, years ago. With creative leadership, Bernanke was set a path American economic recovery, and at the same time develop the influence of the Central Bank.  However, opposition parties also did not want to ignore that the unemployment rate this year, during the period of Bernanke’s job, has reached 10 percent.  Therefore, Congress now is considering proposals that could restrict the freedom of the Central Bank, the supervision authority at the big banks, and also so that audits can be applied to any decision on interest rates.

Gramley argues that, when compared to the severe recession when Paul Volcker served as Governor of the Central Bank, the level of public resentment against the Central Bank is now higher. “(Because) the public first, although upset, understand that the rate hike is due to the inflation problem worse. However, now the public does not understand why the Central Bank would have to cover Bear Stearns or AIG.”

Therefore, the manufacturing sector should be encouraged to grow from 1.3 percent to 3,5-4 percent. Also needs investments worth USD 2000 billion can be fulfilled, both from the banking Rp 400 trillion, foreign investment is 10 billion dollars (up from current position is only 1 billion U.S. dollars), and pull the stock market to absorb foreign funds of Rp 500 trillion. “The average investment fund in the next five years is Rp 2900 trillion per year. In addition, foreign investment must also be signed in 10 billion dollars because of experience, most of this foreign investment will go into our manufacturing, “said Faisal.  Indonesia should not get complacent with the record of economic growth remained positive 4.5 percent in 2009 while other countries that suffered crises experienced negative growth. Therefore, countries with negative growth has exceeded even Indonesia, for example Japan, which have recovered from negative to positive growth of 4.8 percent. “It should be a positive growth of 4.5 percent, Indonesia could do even higher,” said Faisal.  Separately, President Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor Johnny Darmawan said, “If you want to boost economic growth to 7 percent, we should garner investment from outside. Can not only domestic investment. ”

According to Johnny, the new investment should be encouraged to the provision of infrastructure, like roads and power plants. Automotive sector could become the locomotive force to solve the problem of unemployment. (Oin / OSA / REI)

He added, with a capital today BTN diposisi USD 3.4 trillion and with the addition of this IPO of Rp 2 trillion of capital then we will reach USD 5 trilin more.  ”So we have the leverage to credit up to Rp 60 trillion,” he explained. Year 2010 company credit growth target of 20 percent. Saut said BTN record high credit growth in the last one 3 years.

“The position BTN experienced an average growth of 33.1%,” he said.  During the year 2009, BTN has granted a new credit for the composition of 66.09% with housing loans for 66.09% and non-housing credit for a total of 33.01% so that the position of credits as of September 2009 reached Rp 36.32 trillion or grew by 26, 75% (yoy).  From the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) gross red plates bank until September of 2009 was 4.05% or diposisi up from the same period in 2008 of 3.20%.

But the crisis is not the only American hit it but spread throughout the world. This is because American duni as a financial center, represented by the icon of Wallstreet, so that all financial institutions in the world compete for instilling assetnya race in American financial industry. Because the American government to ensure all assets are invested another State to the American government’s financial instruments, although it american financial condition was in a position of recession.

In spite of all that, after recovery and rescue measures are taken by the American government is beginning to produce positive results even in the American unemployment rate is still negative and growing bank – banks are still many wrote in liquidation. But we still have optimism that the recovery was walking towards the positive. hopefully in the year 2010 the global economic situation will become better.

But the government reported this week, that number two of the world economy grew at a rate far slower than previously thought in the third quarter, reigniting fears that the recovery of the young could be disrupted. The Japanese government announced Tuesday, r new economic stimulus package of 274 billion dollars, including 80 billion dollars in new spending, which analysts say should help to support consumer confidence. “Because the trend is consumer sentiment has been affected by government stimulus package, we can expect the same this time too,” said Yoshiro Sato, economist at Calyon Capital Markets Asia.

But until the new package approved by parliament and fully implemented, “there is the possibility that consumer sentiment may continue to fall”, Sato added.

Issuing bonds or borrowing to banks would be subject to a variety of fees and certainly is interest. We have interest to issue bonds or loans are increasing. This is because the turmoil of the global crisis, so people prefer to save money by saving on bank deposits because interest rates are high, and receive the effects, of course, interest rates for any loan would be higher than savings rates. This greatly affects the economic actors to conduct their business expansion. Because when interest rates rise then the credit for employer’s ability to repay loans and the greater it will affect the company’s financial impact on the decline in the quality of goods or termination of employment.

With these circumstances would have resulted in wide spread national economy. Decline in the quality of goods, rising prices of goods and services, and high termination of employment, will mislead the economy down and the low purchasing power resulting in a high inflation rate. Therefore, banks should start thinking to lower interest rates so the economy can run well. Because if the economy goes well, the government revenue from taxes will increase.

In many countries corruption usually occurs because of the complexity of the bureaucracy in dealing with a variety of licensing both to establish a new business or take care of import export. It is a great loss for the economy of a country and its people if the culture of corruption is not eliminated. Because of how much the lost benefits of such activities, especially from the tax sector and import duties.

But the eradication of corruption, collusion and nepotism continue to do despite the often get resistance from the perpetrators. And the most important thing is the intention and willingness of governments to combat and clean up personnel associated with this. Because of corruption, collusion and nepotism close relation with the government officials themselves. Besides corruption also causes economic activity to the high cost, which receive the effects would raise prices of goods and services. And of course the eradication of corruption is not only the responsibility of government alone but all Ita responsibilities as economic actors and society.
