    Central Pattana plans to enter Malaysia

    Shopping mall developer Central Pattana, which runs 29 malls in Thailand, plans to open its first foreign outlet in Malaysia in 2018.

    It will work through a joint venture with a Malaysian company in which it holds a 60 per cent stake. The new mall, under the Central brand, will be in Shah Alam, west of Kuala Lumpur.

    To be built on about 44,000 sqm of land, the mall will have a net leasable area of 89,700 sqm, and cost about 8.3 billion baht (US$232 million) to build.

    Senior executive VP Naparat Sriwanvit says Central Pattana plans to open 15 malls by 2020, three of them outside Thailand. Indonesia and Vietnam have been listed as potential targets because of their large populations and rising incomes.

    As with Malaysia, the company plans to enter other markets through joint ventures with local partners.

    Naparat says the Thai market is still promising, with room for expansion in the suburban areas of Bangkok and the provinces. The company plans to open a 1.9 billion baht mall in the southern city of Nakhon Si Thammarat at the end of next month, as well as two other locations outside Bangkok next year.

    Central Pattana, with CentralWorld mall in central Bangkok as its flagship, saw its net profit rise 7 per cent last year.

  • CatchPlay Launches Streaming Service in Indonesia Amid Land Grab

    CatchPlay Launches Streaming Service in Indonesia Amid Land Grab

    Taiwanese film distribution and production company CatchPlay group has launched a streaming video-on-demand service in Indonesia with the country’s state-owned telecommunications giant Telkom Indonesia after offering such a service in Taiwan in March.

    The cost of the service is $1.42 for local or Hollywood library titles, $2.15 for new releases, or a paid subscription of $4.81 per month.

    With a population of 260 million people, Indonesia is a logical market to expand outside of Taiwan, said Daphne Yang, CEO of CatchPlay, which will provide the latest Hollywood movies, as well as local films to subscribers. “It’s the biggest market in Southeast Asia. Also, not just in population, it’s a very vibrant market in terms of social networks,” Yang tells. “It’s the number four Twitter country in the whole world [and] number four in terms of user base on Facebook as well. We think that level of involvement in social networking would definitely help entertainment content consumption. We see a lot of potential in this country.”

    Indonesia has seen such online video players coming into the market as Neftlix, Hooq and iFlix in the past six months. “The market’s at a very early stage of development and it’s a land grab – it’s all about driving up consumption and then converting that to payment and using the telecommunications integration and carrier billing model as the way forward for that,” said Vivek Couto, executive director of research and consulting firm Media Partners Asia.

    However, there are only 5.5 million fixed broadband users in the country, and the infrastructure is insufficient to provide for the growth of the OTT market, he said. But the number of mobile broadband users will be close to 90 million by the end of 2016, according to Couto. “While Indonesia lags Singapore and Hong Kong and is also trailing Thailand and Malaysia, there is growing investment in next-generation fixed and mobile infrastructure, but progress is slow, especially outside Jakarta,” said Couto.

    “There has been an increasing trend of OTT adoption in Indonesia,” says Harsh Upadhyay, analyst at Singapore’s Analysys Mason. “This growth suggests that interest from end users has been high.” But he also highlights that fixed and wireless high-speed coverage “is not entirely available even in big cities of Indonesia.”

    CatchPlay thinks the key to entering the Indonesian market is to find the right partner, in their case the telecommunications giant Telkom, which is the top IPTV service provider in Indonesia. Over the past nine months, it has reached 1.6 million subscribers for its IPTV service, explains Yang. As was evident in the blocking of Netflix at the beginning of the year in Indonesia due to content deemed inappropriate by Telkom, the telecommunications giant holds the power in the bargain. Yang said its new service would be provided only to adults who have a password to the Telkom’s Indihome IPTV service.

    The Indonesian government has also brought out suggested regulations in the past few months regarding OTT services. Foreign companies should set up permanent business establishments, pay taxes and evaluate joint ventures with local OTT players, they suggest. In the recent draft regulation, the government is also trying to restrict access to certain content and services.

    Said Upadhyay: “The regulation also specifically mentions the objective of protecting Indonesian telecom operators, and hence raises important questions around net neutrality and competition. The regulation threatens the openness of the Indonesian OTT market and is likely to discourage international OTT providers from offering services to Indonesians.”

  • Thousands of visitors sample Indonesian coffee in Amsterdam

    Thousands of visitors sample Indonesian coffee in Amsterdam

    Visitors at the “Taste of Amsterdam” annual culinary promotion event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, sampled Indonesian coffee, noted a press release from the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague, the Netherlands, received by ANTARA News here, Tuesday.

    At the annual event, some 5,314 people were able to sample coffee in a booth themed “Indonesia Coffee House.”

    Indonesian Ambassador to the Netherlands I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja stated that the Taste of Amsterdam was an event for Indonesia to conduct culinary diplomacy.

    “This year is the third time the Embassy in The Hague has participated in the event. In 2016, we are promoting Indonesian coffee,” he noted.

    Coffee has become a part of the history of relations between Indonesia and the Netherlands as it was the Dutch traders who had brought coffee seeds to Indonesia in the 17th century.

    According to the ambassador, coffee is one of Indonesias leading export commodities. Indonesia is the fourth-largest coffee producer in the world. In 2015, Indonesia had produced 550 thousand tons of coffee beans.

    Until the end of the event, 7,001 people had visited the Indonesia Coffee House and enjoyed coffee and Indonesian culinary delicacies.

    Among those visiting the booth, 5,314 people sampled Aceh Gayo and Malabar Natural coffees, which were served free of charge.

    Harry Puts, a visitor, praised the taste of Indonesian coffee. He suggested that Indonesian coffee should be made without blending it with coffee from other regions.

    Some cafe businesses and food importers have contacted the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague and have expressed their keeness to start selling Indonesian coffee in the Netherlands.

    As many as 125 renowned restaurants and cafes from all over the Netherlands took part in the Taste of Amsterdam event in 2016. Every year, the event receives over 30 thousand visitors, with each spending at least 50 Euros to enjoy food and beverages at the event.

  • Lotte aims to take slice of Indonesia’s credit card industry

    Lotte aims to take slice of Indonesia’s credit card industry

    South Korean conglomerate Lotte Group announced its plans to delve into the credit card market in Indonesia following a meeting with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo during his state visit to the East Asian nation last month.

    In a one-on-one meeting with President Jokowi on May 16 in Seoul, Lotte Group chairman Shin Dong-bin conveyed the company’s plans to advance its business and investment in Indonesia, including an idea to venture into the credit card market.

    “The Lotte’s management have told us that they want to invest in cinema, theme parks and the credit card business in Indonesia,” Creative Economy Agency head Triawan Munaf said recently.

    The company’s chain of hotels, amusement parks and duty-free shops generated more than 5.1 trillion won ( US$4.38 billion ) in revenue last year, Bloomberg reported.

    Foreign Affairs Minister Retno LP Marsudi said the group was eager to invest further in Indonesia as it had seen potential.

    With Lotte Mart having first opened its doors in Indonesia in 1993, the company, which employs 9,000 people in Indonesia, has become a major retail player in the country. It also operates Lotte Department Store with two duty-free stores, the Angel-in-us Coffee coffeehouse chain and Lotteria fast food chain.

    In 2013, the group opened Lotte Shopping Avenue near the busy Mega Kuningan central business district in Jakarta. It is a large-scale shopping complex that hosts its affiliates, including Lotte Department Store, a duty-free store and Lotteria.

    Despite having yet to hear Lotte’s plan, Indonesian Credit Card Association ( AKKI ) general manager Steve Marta said the South Korean group had actually engaged in a discussion with the association two years ago regarding its idea to enter the domestic credit card industry.

    “However, we haven’t heard any news from Lotte since then. As far as I know, the company started a partnership with Bank Negara Indonesia’s [BNI] credit card business,” he said on Friday, referring to the state-owned lender.

    Separately, BNI consumer banking director Anggoro Eko Cahyo said the bank had a partnership with Lotte Mart Indonesia through a co-branding credit card product called “BNI Lotte Mart Card”, which was launched in 2011.

    Bank Indonesia, which also supervises and regulates the country’s payment system, is yet to receive a report from Lotte Group on its plan to enter the domestic credit card market, Deputy Governor Ronald Waas said.

    “They are welcome, but we haven’t yet heard anything from them,” he said.

    As a potential new player in the credit card business in Indonesia, home to over 250 million people, Lotte still has an opportunity to penetrate the local market. There are currently only 16.9 million credit cards circulating in the country, Steve said.

    However, he said new players were expected to start venturing in non-traditional types of credit card market as existing issuers were largely concentrated in Jakarta and other big cities with similar customer profiles.

    “It would be better for new players to seek alternative customer profiling, such as micro and small and medium enterprise [MSME] segments. This will also help increase non-cash transactions in the country,” he said.

    The country saw 23.6 million credit card transactions worth Rp 22.1 trillion booked by 23 issuers in April, Bank Indonesia data shows.

    If its credit card operation in Indonesia is confirmed, Lotte will become the country’s second non-bank credit card issuer after AEON Credit Services, a consumer financing firm subsidiary of Japan’s conglomerate AEON Group.

    Despite the country’s credit card market being dominated by banks, Steve said non-bank credit card issuers still had good prospects as they owned captive markets amid a new global trend in which various multinational companies, such as airlines, had started to issue their own payment cards.

  • Indonesia is favorite tourist destination for Australians

    Indonesia is favorite tourist destination for Australians

    Data obtained from the Australia Bureau of Statistics revealed that 105,500 Australians visit Indonesia every month, Tourism Minister Arief Yahya noted in a press statement received by us here on Monday.

    The minister said the figure showed that Indonesia was a favorite tourist destination for Australians.

    “The data, which was released a month ago, for the first time revealed that Indonesia was the most preferred tourist destination among Australians,” Arief noted.

    According to the bureau, earlier, most Australians visited New Zealand, with an average of 99,400 tourists per month.

    “This is certainly due to the visa-free policy extended to Australians visiting Indonesia,” the minister remarked, adding that the ministry along with the Foreign Ministry and the Indonesian Consulate General across Australia had promoted the policy in the country.

    The Indonesian tourism branding called Wonderful Indonesia has been promoted in several regions in Australia through various mass media, including social media.

    “Our international openness is assessed by the World Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index as one of the measurable values,” Arief stated.

    The minister believes that the statistical figures were accurate and can be used in tourism development programs.

    The minister said the 10 priority tourist destinations, especially the maritime tourist sites, have been drawing Australian visitors.

    Of the 10 tourist destinations, seven are maritime tourist sites: Tanjung Kelayang in Bangka Belitung, Tanjung Lesung in Banten, Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara, Wakatobi in Southeast Sulawesi, Seribu Islands in Jakarta, and Morotai in North Maluku.

    The maritime tourist sites are divided into three main zones: coastal, underwater, and sea. The third one is an inter-island tourist zone that can be explored by yacht.

    “Most of the Australian tourists prefer tourist sites in the coastal zone, with waves ideal for surfing. We have several new surfing spots in Banyuwangi, Mentawai, and Nias,” Arief added.

  • Indonesia’s retail attractiveness rank jumps significantly

    Indonesia’s retail attractiveness rank jumps significantly

    Indonesia has significantly improved its position in the Global Retail Development Index by leaping from 12th position in 2015 to a new high fifth position. China and India are still the countries with the most attractive retail business taking first and second, followed by Malaysia and Kazakhstan.

    The consulting firm AT Kearney created the index in 2001 to measure the attractiveness of the retail sector in developing countries. It includes three main criteria namely population, country risk, and time pressure.

    AT Kearney partner Hana Ben-Shabat said Indonesia’s recent policies of loosening barriers in the retail sector including e-commerce and foreign investment were regarded as positive to investors amid the negative growth average of 2.3 percent in the last three years.

    “Local and international retailers are speeding up expansion plans,” she said on Monday in Jakarta, citing Indomaret, which planned to open 1,600 stores after the 1,560 new stores last year and United Arab Emirates’ Lulu that would invest US$500 million over the next five years.

    As market saturation would increase, Hana continued, existing retailers were experimenting to capture the niche market.

    Matahari Putraprima has launched a premium supermarket Foodmart Primo in June 2015, while Transmart Carrefour has expanded to restaurants, retail chains and entertainment.

    With the increasing usage and number of smartphones, retailers are boosting up their e-commerce. Happy Fresh has recently acquired $12 million to fund its e-commerce expansion, while Alfamart has rebranded its alfaonline.com into alfacart.com by including third-party products.

    More recently, Korea and Japan-based retailer Lotte Group and Indonesia’s Salim Group have announced that they will create a joint-venture to develop an e-commerce and logistics system. Salim and Lotte would hold a 50-50 share of the platform.

    “Now, Indonesians youngsters are paying less physical visit to retail shops. We need to catch on with this new trend,” Salim Group chairman Anthoni Salim told us on Friday.

  • Jakarta Fair 2016 begins June 10, will coincide with Ramadan

    Jakarta Fair 2016 begins June 10, will coincide with Ramadan

    The Jakarta Fair, an festival and exhibition, will be held at JIExpo Kemayoran from June 10 to July 17, coinciding with Ramadan, the fasting month and Eid.

    “Jakarta Fair coincides with fasting month and the Eid break, something that happens once every 3 years. It opens many opportunities for all the businessmen involved,” said PT JIExpo Marketing Director, Ralph Scheunemann, during a press conference in Jakarta on Monday.

    The exhibition that will be opened by President Joko Widodo has a target to attract 5 million visitors and at least Rp5 trillion in transaction value within 38 days of execution.

    Being organized under the slogan, “Lets celebrate Eid together at Jakarta Fair,” the organizers hope that the event offers an alternative to those wishing to spend their Eid holiday away from the usual tourism destinations in Jakarta.

    Even though most residents from the capital city will be going back to their hometowns during Eid, PT JIExpo organizers were confident that visitors number would not fall.

    “Only about 30 percent of the residents are expected to return home, which means approximately 5-6 million people will remain in the city from among its 9 million residents,” explained Ralph.

    Also, many people residing elsewhere are most likely to return to Jakarta.

    This year, the organizers are also preparing new rides, such as an ice skating rink, a snow playground and a vicious prison.

    The Jakarta Fair will open its doors everyday during Ramadan from 3.30 PM to 10 PM, Monday through Friday, and 10 AM to 11 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Visitors will be able to enjoy the festivities at the Jakarta Fair 2016 by paying an admission fee of 20,000 rupiah on Mondays, 25,000 rupiah Tuesday through Thursday, and 30,000 rupiah Friday through Sunday and on national holidays.

  • Demand for cash expected to rise during Ramadan

    Demand for cash expected to rise during Ramadan

    Demand for cash in Indonesia is expected to rise by 14.5 percent to Rp160.5 trillion during Ramadan and post-fasting holiday of Lebaran this year, a central bank official said here on Monday.

    “There are several factors that would make cash demand to increase this year,” Bank Indonesias executive director for money circulation management, Suhaedi, said.

    The forecast for the cash demand growth of 14.5 percent this year is in line with the trend in the growth of money in circulation in the community in the Ramadan-Lebaran period which has always increased by 14 percent every year for the past nine years, he said.

    Suhaedi said he predicted demand for cash would increase because of economic recovery, the disbursement of the 13th and 14th salaries of civil servants, police and military members and a longer period of the Lebaran holiday which this year will happen in concurrence with the school holiday.

    He said the central bank has prepared Rp160.5 trillion to meet the need of cash money and spread its supply across BI branches in the provinces.

    “Almost 100 percent of the cash money are newly printed bills,” he said.

    Bank Indonesia would send 26 of the money supply to Jakarta, 33 percent to Java, 20 percent to Sumatra, 7 percent to Kalimantan and 11 percent to Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, Bali and Nusa Tenggara.

    Starting today Bank Indonesia Jakarta started opening service for people wishing to exchange their money for the new bills at the National Monument square in Central Jakarta.

    On June 10, 20 banks would help Bank Indonesia in carrying out the service at the square.

    “Besides Monas (National Monument) 200 branches of banks in Jakarta will also open the service,” he said.

    Bank Indonesias executive director for payment system Bramudija Hadinoto said during Ramadan especially from June 6 to July 1 the operational hours for non-cash payment system would not change.

    On July 4, however Bank Indonesia would only conduct limited operations for transfer of clearing funds.

    “It is limited because no debt clearing is to be carried out especially in Jakarta, Surabaya, Medang and Bandung while other cities it still continues,” he said.

    Regarding real time gross settlements (RTGS) he said Bank Indonesia would impose a new rule as of July 1, 2016 in which it would reduce the limit of the nominal value of RTGS from Rp500 million and over per instruction to over Rp100 million per instruction.

    Malaysia’s KFit buys Groupon Indonesia

    Groupon Indonesia will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of KFit and Groupon Inc will be a strategic shareholder of KFit. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

    A report in the Chicago Tribune said Groupon announced the sale on Monday, the latest step in its ongoing shedding of international markets.

    Chicago-based Groupon, which operates in 26 countries, has exited several international markets since 2015 in favour of building up its North American business.

    KFit founder and Chief Executive Officer Joel Neoh is the founder of Groupon Malaysia. He later headed Groupon’s Asia-Pacific business.

    KFit gained popularity by offering unlimited access to gyms and fitness studios for a fixed monthly fee in Asia. It offers users the chance to book fitness classes at different locations through one app.

    The deal should close in the third quarter of 2016, KFit said in a press release, adding that Groupon Indonesia has more than one million subscribers and more than 15,000 local merchants. Groupon Indonesia will continue to function as usual, the release said.

    A report in Techinasia said, in February, KFit added more categories such as massages and beauty salons to its offering, an indication that the startup needed to add more revenue streams to its core product.

    A month later, KFit also tweaked its model, limiting membership to 10 activities per month, for the same rate.

    Neoh said: “While KFit will continue to focus on health and fitness services, this presents a strategic direction for us to enhance and broaden our offerings. In the long run, this acquisition will provide us with a strong platform for growth in Southeast Asia.”
