The Indonesian economy recorded development in Quarter 4, 2016. The growth increased with more sound macroeconomic and financial system stability. The growth was supported by the growth of household consumption, better performance of investment, and the raise of export. On the other hand, the macroeconomic stability is well maintained as reflected on lower inflation, decreasing current account deficit, and stable Rupiah against foreign exchange. Domestic economy improves in accordance with the lower global financial risk and provides room for easing monetary policy on Quarter IV, 2016. The central bank lower the policy rate is well transmitted and is expected to strenghthen the growth momentum of economy ahead. Looking forward however, we still have to keep an eye on several external and domestic risks. For these reasons, Bank Indonesia keeps strengthening its monetary and macroprudential policy mix, and its coordination with the government in order to maintain the macroeconmoic stability, supporting the growth, and accelerate the structural reforms.

The growth of Indonesian economy on Quarter III, 2016 recorded positive growth with a wellmaintained financial system and macroeconomic stability. The economy grew moderately supported by remaining strong domestic demand amidst the slow recovery of the global economy. The economic stability is also good reflected on the low inflation, decreasing current account deficit, and relatively stable exchange rate. An increase of domestic economy and lower global financial risk enable monetary ease on Quarter III, 2016. Furthermore, the reduction of interest rate policy is well transmitted and is expected to strengthen the growth momentum of the economy. Looking forward, Bank Indonesia will keep strengthening his policy mix and macroprudential, and his coordination with the government to ensure the inflation control, greater stimulus for growth, and the implementation of structural reform run on the right track, and hence preserve the sustainable economic development.

The growth of domestic economy in Indonesia is lower than forecasted in first quarter of 2016.However, the economy is expected to revive and will grow higher in the next quarter, with a well maintained financial system stability. The limited growth of government consumption as well as private investment are the main reason for the slower growth in this quarter, eventhough the government spending on capital goods accelerates. The growth of private consumption remains high with reasonable price movement. With the increase of several commodities’ export, the external performance of export in aggregate also increased. On the other hand, the financial system stability was stable due to viable banking system and better financial market performance. The stability of Rupiah was well maintained, supported by positive expectation on domestic economy and the lower risk of the global financial market.

The global crisis brings about renewed reforms on central bank policy. First, in addition to the traditional mandate of price stability, there are strong supports for additional mandate of the central bank to promote financial system stability. Second, macroprudential policy is needed to address procyclicality and build-up systemic risks in the macro-financial linkages of financial system that in most cases precede and deepen financial crisis. Third, monetary and financial stability are also prone to volatility of capital flows, especially for the emerging countries, and thus there is a need to manage them. The challenge is how to mix the policies of monetary, macroprudential, and capital flows management to meet the renewed mandate of central bank on monetary and financial stability. This paper reviews theoretical underpinnings and provides key concepts to address the issues. We show that central bank policy mix is both conceptually coherent and practically implementable. We provide a concrete recommendation with a reference from Indonesia’s experience since 2010. We also raise a number of challenges from practical point of views, especially relating to decision making process, forecasting model, and communication, for the success of the policy mix.


Significance In the absence of external funding, capital controls will remain. Banks will allow depositors to withdraw up to 420 euros (456 dollars)/week at one go rather than in daily installments and offer limited banking services. The government has reached agreement, in principle, with its international lenders for a third package of financial assistance. Immediate financial collapse is averted, but the new reform package -- although it contains some structural reforms in such areas as pensions, the judicial system and public administration -- is more likely to reduce than remove the danger of Greece's exit from the euro. The domestic economy has re-entered recession and lenders agree that current debt levels are unsustainable. Impacts Greek-EU negotiations exposed a lack of EU cohesion and deep divisions between the two core euro-area members, France and Germany. For the first time, euro-area leaders publicly accepted, and at times promoted, the possibility of a country exiting the euro. Greek resentment, EU inflexibility and loss of trust in Athens will hinder bailout implementation and could lead to popular unrest. The third bailout may add up to 30 billion euros to Greece's debt stock during 2016-18.

The financial crisis that has happened has changed the perspective of the central banks in the world, including Indonesia in viewing that financial system stability is also important in addition to price stability. In achieving this goal, Bank Indonesia formulated a policy namely the Bank Indonesia Policy Mix which is the integration of monetary and macroprudential policies.This research aims to analyze the impact of the monetary and macroprudential policy mix on price stability and financial system stability in Indonesia. The analysis method applied in this study is Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and Granger Causality. The results of the study show that both monetary and macroprudential policies can achieve price stability. In achieving financial system stability, monetary policy instruments take longer than macroprudential policies. The monetary and macroprudential policy mix instruments can reduce inflation volatility and exchange rate volatility so as to encourage price stability and financial system stability.

Beef import to Indonesia always gets pros and cons. The government argue that we need it to reduce the high price of beef due to the scarcity. On the other hand, Indonesia is an agrarian country with a lot of cattle farms. We should be able to meet the needs of beef from domestic production without import. The aim of this study is to get the best model for household consumption of beef at the district level, and use the model to estimate the import needs. This study uses data from Statistics Indonesia, both the raw data of National Sosio-economic Survey (SUSENAS) and beef production in district level. The methods of analysis is a robust regression model. The results is robust regression fit the data well. For households need, estimation of household consumption of beef is lower than domestic production. So that, Indonesia does not need to import beef for household need.

Currently and in the future, Indonesia is still very dependent on tourism to cover the current account deficit and the national budget deficit. In fact, because the government and tourism industry players have to overcome various obstacles, it is difficult to achieve the goal of visiting tourists to Indonesia every year. Therefore, this study aims to promote tourism by increasing competitiveness. On the other hand, there are still uncoordinated relationships and sectoral egos between various ministries and local governments, which weaken competitiveness, such as lack of promotional activities, high domestic airline ticket prices, and limited number of tourist ports.The results of this study prove that the government has made a lot of efforts in developing tourism and determining 10 main destinations as tourism icons.

Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει την επίδραση στην καταναλωτική συμπεριφορά από τη μη πληρωμή οφειλών από καταναλωτικά δάνεια, όταν υφίστανται μακροπροληπτικοί εποπτικοί κανόνες με τη μορφή περιορισμών στο δανεισμό ή επιπλέον κόστους επιβάρυνσης των επιτοκίων δανεισμού. Το Κεφάλαιο 2 αναπτύσσει ένα υπόδειγμα δυναμικής ισορροπίας, το οποίο αναλύει το ρόλο της αθέτησης πληρωμών για τις καταναλωτικές αποφάσεις. Εξετάζεται η αθέτηση στο πλαίσιο αλληλοεπικαλυπτόμενων διαδικασιών καταναλωτικής συμπεριφοράς δύο περιόδων, με την υπόθεση της επιβολής ποινής επί του επιτοκίου δανείων κατά την πρώτη περίοδο στην περίπτωση υπερημερίας, ενώ ταυτόχρονα υφίσταται επαναχρηματοδότηση από τις τράπεζες. Από την αναλυτική επίλυση του προβλήματος διαχρονικής αριστοποίησης του νοικοκυριού, προκύπτει μια διευρυμένη εξίσωση Euler για την κατανάλωση που αποτελεί συνάρτηση μεταξύ άλλων ενός προσδοκώμενου παράγοντα αθέτησης, η οποία συνάρτηση προσδιορίζει, στο πλαίσιο της στατικής ισορροπίας, τη βέλτιστη τιμή του ποσοστού εξόφλησης των οφειλών. Το Κεφάλαιο 3 πραγματεύεται την υπερημερία και τα μη εξυπηρετούμενα δάνεια καταναλωτικής πίστης και τις επιπτώσεις τους στην καταναλωτική συμπεριφορά. Εισάγοντας ενδογενώς τη μη πληρωμή οφειλών στο διαχρονικό πρόβλημα βελτιστοποίησης του αντιπροσωπευτικού νοικοκυριού, εξάγεται μια διευρυμένη εξίσωση κατανάλωσης Euler, η οποία περιλαμβάνει ένα παράγοντα κινδύνου σε όρους προσδοκώμενων μη εξυπηρετούμενων οφειλών και υπερήμερων οφειλών. Η παρουσία του παράγοντα κινδύνου διαφοροποιεί τις εκτιμημένες τιμές των παραμέτρων των προτιμήσεων του καταναλωτή και βελτιώνει τη δομή του υποδείγματος σε σχέση με το βασικό υπόδειγμα αντιπροσωπευτικού καταναλωτή με πλήρη εξόφληση των οφειλών, το οποίο φαίνεται να είναι μια ατελής περιγραφή της καταναλωτικής συμπεριφοράς. Το Κεφάλαιο 4 αναλύει την υπόθεση των πολλαπλασιαστικών μη διαχωρίσιμων (Cobb-Douglas) καταναλωτικών προτιμήσεων, ως βασικό στοιχείο για την ανάλυση της αλληλεξάρτησης των επιλογών μεταξύ κατανάλωσης και ελεύθερου χρόνου. Το πρόβλημα μεγιστοποίησης χρησιμότητας του καταναλωτή λύνεται κάτω από αυτές τις προτιμήσεις και εξάγεται ένα ταυτόχρονο σύστημα δύο εξισώσεων που αντιστοιχούν σε μια στατική και μια διαχρονική εξίσωση επιλογής μεταξύ κατανάλωσης και ελεύθερου χρόνου. Το σύστημα εκτιμάται με GMM με σκοπό την απόκτηση συνεπών εκτιμήσεων των παραμέτρων των καταναλωτικών προτιμήσεων, εκ των οποίων η σχετική βαρύτητα της κατανάλωσης στην συνάρτηση χρησιμότητας εκτιμάται ότι είναι αρκετά μεγαλύτερη σε σχέση με τις τιμές της παραμέτρου αυτής που χρησιμοποιούνται στα Δυναμικά Στοχαστικά Υποδείγματα Γενικής Ισορροπίας. Το Κεφάλαιο 5 εξετάζει αν η καταναλωτική συμπεριφορά του νοικοκυριού όταν αυτό υπόκειται σε πιστοληπτικό περιορισμό επηρεάζεται από τη μη πληρωμή των δανειακών οφειλών του. Από το πρόβλημα μεγιστοποίησης του νοικοκυριού εξάγεται ένα υπόδειγμα δύο εξισώσεων, το οποίο αποτελείται από μια διευρυμένη εξίσωση κατανάλωσης Euler και μια στατική εξίσωση προσφοράς εργασίας, και χρησιμοποιείται η μη γραμμική μέθοδος GMM για την εκτίμηση των εξισώσεών του. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι το νοικοκυριό με πιστοληπτικό περιορισμό τείνει να είναι περισσότερο υπομονετικό έναντι μελλοντικών καταναλωτικών αναγκών όταν δεν εξοφλεί πλήρως τις δανειακές του υποχρεώσεις. Επιπλέον, γίνεται εκτίμηση του ορίου δανεισμού του νοικοκυριού, δηλαδή του λόγου των πληρωμών των οφειλόμενων δόσεων του δανείου προς το εισόδημά του. Τα αποτελέσματα αποδεικνύονται ισχυρά βάσει ενός αριθμού στατιστικών ελέγχων.

While most recent central bank’s foreign-exchange interventions have been directed at mitigating speculative currency pressures and reducing risks to price instability, as well as curbing volatility in capital flows, the good governance implementation plays significant role in making the foreign-exchange operations done in efficient and effective way. For Bank Indonesia, the implementation of foreign exchange policy strategy followed governance principle is essential and geared toward price and financial system stability. In practice, the objective is reached through foreign-exchange intervention policy combined with other monetary and macroprudential policy called policy mix.

Despite robust GDP growth, projected at 4 percent in 2018, inflation remains below its 3 percent target. The fiscal deficit has stabilized around 2 percent of GDP, implying a modest gradual reduction in public debt, which remains high at close to 70 percent of GDP. Monetary policy was relaxed further in June 2018 following a rapid appreciation of the exchange rate. The current account deficit has moderated over recent years, to about 6.5 percent of GDP. The outlook is mostly positive, with GDP growth projected to converge to 4 percent over the medium term, with inflation stabilizing around its target by 2021. Further fiscal consolidation and an accommodative monetary policy, combined with growth-promoting structural reforms represent the right policy mix.
