  • Singapore GIC Makes First Investment in Indonesia’s Logistics Sector

    Singapore GIC Makes First Investment in Indonesia’s Logistics Sector

    Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC has teamed up with Indonesia’s PT Mega Manunggal Property (MMP) to develop a portfolio of quality logistics warehouses over the next three years.

    The warehouses will boast nearly 500,000 sq m of net leasable area in both Greater Jakarta and Greater Surabaya in Indonesia, the two firms said in a joint press release issued yesterday.

    The partnership aims to meet increasing demand by companies for sophisticated inventory systems which cannot be fulfilled by traditional warehouses, they added.

    This is GIC’s maiden investment in Indonesia’s logistics sector.

    “We are attracted by the long- term growth of this sector, which is underpinned by the strong consumption of Indonesia’s rapidly rising middle class,” GIC Real Estate’s managing director and co-head of its Asia operations, Mr Loh Wai Keong, said. “We believe GIC’s knowledge and experience investing in logistics, both in Asia as well as other global markets, will add value to this partnership.”

    MMP, a publicly listed company in Indonesia, develops, owns and operates logistics properties, with a focus on international quality warehousing. “The partnership will also focus on increasing productivity,” MMP president director and chief executive Fernandus Chamsi said, adding that having good operations and quality human resources, as well as good corporate governance, helps.

    Indonesia was ranked 54th in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index of 2014. Restrictions on foreign investment in its logistics sector were recently loosened under President Joko Widodo as his administration aims for economic expansion and higher growth by 2019.

    GIC has over US$100 billion (S$135.9 billion) in assets under management in the property, private equity, fixed income and equity sectors in over 40 countries. It has been investing in emerging markets for over two decades.

    It has invested in Indonesia’s retail sector, putting in about 5.2 trillion rupiah (S$537 million) in PT Trans Retail, which operates hypermarkets, supermarkets and cash- and-carry stores under the Carrefour and TranSmart brands.

  • Unilever Indonesia set to enjoy stronger performance

    Unilever Indonesia set to enjoy stronger performance

    Unilever Indonesia’s net profit fell 1.2%; however, the media outlet predicts that as the economy now picks up, so too will the multinational’s performance in the country.

    Unilever is the “undisputed leader in bath and shower” in Indonesia, according to market research firm Euromonitor International, and it looks set to maintain and strengthen this position.

    “In addition to heavy investment in new variant launches and promotions, Unilever benefits from its brands also having a good reputation in the marketplace, and the company has an extensive distribution network to also reach consumers in rural areas,” Euromonitor observed in its most recent report on the country.

    Seeking opportunities

    According to Euromonitor, the bath and shower category in Indonesia is currently saturated, so innovation will be key to driving future growth for Unilever.

    “New and creative approaches by manufacturers are crucial to retain customers and develop the consumer base, especially in products with more potential to grow such as body wash/shower gel,” the firm asserts.

    It singles out additional formulation benefits and novel packaging formats as key areas for development in the category up ahead.

    Tackling deforestation

    Indonesia is also one of Unilever’s key regions for its focus on reducing its environmental footprint, which forms a central part of its ongoing Sustainable Living Plan.

    Last year, the company announced that along with Brazil, Indonesia would form the key focus of an ongoing, year-long partnership with WWF International to tackle deforestation.

    These two countries have historically had the highest rates of deforestation in the world and have some of the largest areas of intact forest globally.

    “Stopping deforestation is an urgent priority in tackling climate change. Forests are second only to the oceans as the largest global store of carbon and support 80 percent of terrestrial biodiversity across the globe,” says Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever.

  • Migme completes the acquisition of Shopdeca to fuel ecommerce expansion

    Migme completes the acquisition of Shopdeca to fuel ecommerce expansion

    Global digital media company migme Limited (ASX: MIG) (“migme” or the “Company”) confirms the completion of the acquisition of Indonesian ecommerce business Shopdeca. The acquisition sets the framework for migme’s continued expansion into social ecommerce and gives the Company access to Shopdeca’s Indonesian market expertise, business capabilities and experienced staff to grow its Indonesian business.

    migme refers to its announcements dated 18 December 2015 and 29 December 2015 regarding the acquisition of the ecommerce assets of Shopdeca and advises that it has today:

    • Paid the cash consideration of US$710,000
    • Issued 884,270 fully paid ordinary shares to the vendors of Shopdeca. Of these shares 123,608 shares will be held in voluntary escrow for the period ending 1 April 2017 and 760,662 shares will be held in voluntary escrow for the period ending 1 October 2016.

    The acquisition of Shopdeca will not only help migme grow its business in Indonesia, but will also fuel its expansion into social ecommerce across South East Asia (SEA). Social ecommerce is a key component in migme’s business strategy for building a platform business for SEA.

    Migme Limited CEO Steven Goh said: “Platforms are the next generation of online business. The fastest growing and most disruptive companies in history — Google, Amazon, Facebook, Uber, AirBnb and eBay— are platform businesses. migme is building a platform business focused on social engagement and interactions that can be monetised. We are building our platform specifically for the next half of the world coming online through low-cost smartphones, primarily in South East Asia. The Shopdeca acquisition helps us bolster the social ecommerce element of our platform.”

    The ecommerce market is growing rapidly in SEA. A report from Bain & Company estimates that the online retail market in SEA is currently worth US$6 billion, but anticipates this could grow to $70 billion by 2020. The report found that social media is highly influential in building consumer trust around product quality and the seller’s credibility, with more than 80% of consumers using social media and over-the-top content to research products or connect with sellers.

    Completion of the acquisition enables the Company to launch its own ecommerce operations in Indonesia and sets the framework for the expansion to a social ecommerce strategy. This will see migme leveraging its social user community and platform partners to grow user engagement and revenues for the ecommerce business.

    As part of the acquisition, Shopdeca founder and successful ecommerce entrepreneur Andreas Thamrin has joined migme as Global Head of Ecommerce and will lead the expansion of migme’s ecommerce operations.

    The Company plans to extend the current pay-to-bid (via Sold) and B2C (business-to-consumer) (via Shopdeca) ecommerce operations to further add a C2C (consumer-to-consumer) social marketplace and B2C2C (business-to-consumer-to-consumer) affiliate sales program.

    This is the second completed acquisition for the Company in 2016, following social news site Hipwee in January. In addition, the Company established a strategic partnership with leading photo and video mobile app. developer Meitu in March.

    The Company has also completed the implementation of online payments with payment partner Paytm, India’s largest mobile payment and ecommerce platform, processing over 10 million transactions per month with their digital wallet. migme users are now enabled on Paytm’s digital wallet, joining over 15 million active wallet users. migme users will be able to shop through ‘Pay with Paytm’ channels at more than 1,500 leading merchants and via other platforms including web, mobile, apps, SMS and IV.

    Payments to add money to the digital wallet are accepted via internet banking, credit/debit/cash cards and Paytm cash.

  • Bata Indonesia sales stagnate

    Bata Indonesia sales stagnate

    Bata Indonesia says it has missed meeting its sales targets despite the nation’s improving retail sales.

    Sepatu Bata, the local arm of the European shoe giant, owns and operates stores across Indonesia and manufactures sandals and shoes under brands Northstar, Power, Bubblegummers, Marie Claire and Weinbrenner.

    The company reported sales of Rp 1 trillion in 2015, 10 per cent short of the Rp 1.1 trillion target it set when it announced expansion into the middle and upper income market segments.

    However the company still posted a profit of Rp 129 billion (US$9.7 million), up 81 per cent, on the back of an unspecified one-off asset sale which raised Rp 121 billion.

    Bata Sepatu’s cost of goods rose 19 per cent and overheads by 8 per cent.

  • Spotify Launched in Indonesia

    Spotify Launched in Indonesia

    Spotify is finally kicking back into expansion mode in Asia. Nearly two years after its last country launch in the region and close to four years after it first stepped into Asia, the music streaming service has confirmed plans to go live in Indonesia at the end of March.

    Indonesia could have serious potential for Spotify. The fourth most populous country on the planet, Indonesian smartphone sales are projected to grow by 20 percent this year as its population of 250 million becomes increasingly more affluent and connected to technology.

    Last October, we reported that Spotify was close to launch in Indonesia and Japan, too, and the company has been quietly upping its efforts in Tokyo, where it established an office some time ago. In one sign of its imminent arrival, Spotify inked a partnership with Japan’s top messaging app Line which, similar to its agreement with Facebook, lets users share Spotify tracks through the Line app.

    Beyond that deal, which is only available in markets where Spotify has launched (i.e. not Japan right now), and in another big hint at an impending launch, Spotify is currently hiring for 12 roles in Japan — including telling positions like head of consumer marketing, head of communications, social media marketing manager — while its central team tasked with market expansions has made trips to the Tokyo office.

    TechCrunch understands that, as was the case in October, the challenging landscape for music streaming services in Japan — where CDs still rule for music sales — has delayed Spotify’s Japan launch longer than the company would have liked. Already, though, Apple Music and a competing music service from Line (both a friend and rival, it seems) are among the services available in the country. Thus Spotify wants to act quickly and join them.

    Spotify declined to comment on its launch plans in Asia, Indonesia aside, when we asked. But we have come to learn from a source close to the company that it has begun to look at India.

    That interest is exploratory at this point, but Spotify would enter a challenging race were it to bring its service to India. Apple entered the country last summer when Apple Music launched globally, but local services like Tiger Global-backed Saavn and Times Internet’s Gaana lead the mobile music space. We haven’t heard much about how Apple Music is faring in India, but Spotify could be a better fit for the country since it offers a free version of its service and has a more robust Android app — both of which are essential in India.

    Asia marks a potentially important focus for Spotify, which recently hit the 30 million paying user milestone. Large swathes of the region are mobile-first or mobile-only, with many consumers reliant on their phone to provide all of their entertainment options. That opens an obvious window for mobile music services, but monetization is a huge challenge since Asia is less developed when it comes to paying for digital content and piracy reigns supreme.

    Spotify’s initial foray into Asia saw it land in small and fairly Western-influenced countries like Hong Kong and Singapore, markets where it was likely to see uptake, but now the Swedish company appears to have its sights set on larger challenges, starting with Indonesia.

  • Garuda Indonesia, Switzerland strengthen cooperation on airplane maintenance

    Garuda Indonesia, Switzerland strengthen cooperation on airplane maintenance

    The Indonesian flag carrier, Garuda Indonesia, and the Government of Switzerland will strengthen cooperation in the field of aircraft maintenance through a subsidiary of Garuda Maintenance Facilities (GMF).

    Director of Engineering and Information Technology of Garuda Indonesia, Iwan Joeniarto, said here on Friday (April 1) that the cooperation has been established in the form of arrangements for exchange of knowledge about aircraft maintenance, aircraft mechanic training and provision of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) equipment.

    In the initial phase, the cooperation arrangement will be for five years for Boeing 737 New Generation.

    “Later, we will develop this arrangement further,” he said.

    According to Iwan, the Swiss authority is interested in cooperating with the GMF because the company is very competitive and has qualified human resources.

    “We have lands that are widespread, although we still lack in infrastructure,” he said.

    The Vice President of Switzerland, Doris Leuthard, appreciated the facilities owned by Garuda Indonesia Group and hoped that the existing cooperation could be improved and continued in the future.

    “The meeting today has provided us with new insights regarding a very positive synergy between Garuda and GMF as a subsidiary,” he said.

    Vice President Leuthard assessed that Garuda and GMF together form for a great potential in Indonesia in the face of the competition in the aviation world globally.

    The official working visit of the Swiss Vice President, who is also the Minister of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC), is part of a series of diplomatic visits to Indonesia.

    The Director of GMF, Juliandra Nurtjahjo, said the visit of the Vice President of Switzerland was an excellent opportunity and valuable for GMF. Also, it was in line with the companys target to be among the top 10 MROs in the world by 2020.

    “This is a very good opportunity for GMF because we can introduce our facilities and explore other areas for potential cooperation,” he said.

    Juliandra remarked that the MRO market is currently growing, including in Indonesia. There are at least 700 aircrafts that require MRO services with a market value of approximately US$ 900 million. So far, the GMF has been able to claim only about 30 percent of the market opportunity.

    Leuthard also met the Indonesian Minister of Transport, Ignasius Jonan, on Thursday (March 31).

    Both the officials renewed an agreement between Indonesian government and the Swiss Federal Council related to Scheduled Air Services in Jakarta.

    The renewal agreement aims to accommodate a wider mutual interest in the Air Service Agreement (ASA).

    The minister said although currently no Indonesian airlines flies to Switzerland, the agreement is the first step to open up opportunities in the future for Indonesian airlines to serve flights to the country.

  • Malang city expected to go intl through digital technology development

    Malang city expected to go intl through digital technology development

    The Minister of Trade, Thomas Lembong, expects Malang to go global, thanks to its digital technology-based development, and by introducing the world to its potential, especially in creative products.

    “Malang must go global. I believe Malang and its people can go global in the digital age through internet and social media,” Lembong said here on Friday (April 1).

    He added that the potential that Malang city offers, particularly in culture, creativity and innovation, should be introduced to the world through digital technology.

    Moreover, the community of Malang City is a creative community, he said.

    “Malang has creative people with modern ways of thinking. I wonder if the creative industries are well developed here?” Lembong said.

    According to the minister, the use of digital technology in everyday life in Malang can act as a strong resource to face regional and international economic competition.

    A life style based on digital technology is key to development in the 21st century when competition is more about human resources.

    “Any modern city should attract innovation and be inspirational. I can see that Malang will be very good in these aspects,” he said.

    In accordance with the governments program of Nawacita (the nine goals), it will build or revitalize 5,000 traditional markets by 2019.

    The Ministry of Trade prioritizes the development of local markets which are older than 25 years, and those which were destroyed by fire, natural disasters and post-conflict.

    In addition, the markets which are located in disadvantaged areas and border areas that lack trading facilities, or those with a huge trade potential, will also be developed.

    Since 2011-2016, the Ministry of Trade has revitalized or built 43 markets in East Java province with a budget of Rp250 billion.

  • Pertamina cooperates with state firms to develop solar power stations

    Pertamina cooperates with state firms to develop solar power stations

    State oil and gas company PT Pertamina is teaming up with three other state firms in developing solar power generating stations (PLTS), a Pertamina spokesperson said.

    The development of new and renewable energy projects will use the idle land owned by Pertamina and the other state firms, Pertamina Vice President for Corporate Communication Wianda Pusponegoro said here Friday.

    The three state firms are PT LEN Industri, PT Energi Management Indonesia and PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur.

    The cooperation between Pertamina and the firms is relevant to the governments target of developing 35 gigawatt capacity power plants by 2019.

    Hopefully, 25 percent or 8.8 gigawatts of the electrical power will come from renewable energy sources, he said.

    The government has set itself the target of developing power plants with an installed capacity of 5 gigawatts or 5,000 megawatts by 2020. Pertamina has committed itself to building solar power stations with a combined capacity of 1,000 megawatts.

    “The synergy among the state owned companies can hopefully encourage the realization of new and renewable energy projects in Indonesia, which will be started in North Sumatra with a target of up to 60 megawatts in 2017. The projects will be continued in the next three years to reach the target of 200 megawatts by using the idle land owned by Pertamina in several parts of Indonesia,” he said.

  • Access to credit card transactions needed to check taxpayers` profiles

    Access to credit card transactions needed to check taxpayers` profiles

    Regulations are required to access taxpayers credit card transactions data, particularly of individual tax payers (WP OP), without violating banking laws, Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said.

    “We need the data for WP OP profiles because we cannot access their bank accounts as the banking law prohibits that. Therefore, we want access to their credit card transactions in order to check their tax profiles,” said Bambang here on Friday.

    Bambang said that if a taxpayer reported his or her monthly income at Rp5 million but his/her expenditure through credit cards reached Rp20 million per month, the tax officials will know that he or she has made an incorrect annual tax report (SPT).

    “This means that while he/she has claimed to have a monthly income of Rp5 million through the SPT, but his/her tax liability should be corrected. We will compare his or her transactions undertaken though credit cards with his or her annual tax report and see if these match,” the minister said.

    Bambang said the plan to put in place a regulation to access credit card transaction reports was discussed long back with the Financial Service Authority (OJK). The OJK will popularize it among banks and credit card issuers.

    Indonesian central bank (BI) Deputy Governor Ronald Waas said bringing in regulations to access credit card transactions will be problematic since the law on banks does not allow access to this information.

    “We can look at the banks confidentiality regulations to see if the credit card detail or information about savings has to be kept confidential. But all laws which regulate the confidentiality of data allow access to the same if it concerns national interest, but with the approval of the OJK,” the finance minister remarked.

    The Finance Ministry has issued a regulation which requires 22 banks and credit issuer institutions to report credit card data and transactions to the Directorate General of Taxations.

    The matter was regulated vide the Finance Ministers Decree No. 39/PMP.03/2016 on the Type of Data and Information as well as the Report Procedure of Data and Information which concerns taxation. It came into effect on the day of its enactment on March 22, 2016.
