…but the 2012 budget also has measures to enhance crisis preparedness
2012 Budget introduces new measures which support stability
• Bond stabilization framework: number of actions to stabilize the government bond market in the event of a sudden reversal in capital flows or shocks
• buying back bonds in secondary markets by using allocated budget funds or other sources such as the Government’s un-spent fiscal balance (SAL) and the buy-back of bonds by SOEs under coordination of the Minister for SOEs
• Article 43: measures that allow GoI to respond rapidly to a crisis, subject to parliamentary approval, which is required within 24 hours:
• increase bond issuance
• seek alternative financing sources from bilateral and multilateral creditors

Policies to enhance preparedness to ensure resilience
Robust contingency planning is critical
29
Currently, under the baseline scenario, no need for immediate emergency measures…
…in fact important to avoid policy missteps and hasty measures that might send the
wrong signal in a fragile market environment
But critical to prepare for more adverse crisis scenarios by:
revisiting and rehearsing financial crisis management protocols, and putting in place
needed financial stability regulations
considering contingent budget financing to support critical public expenditures
preparing contingent plans for fiscal stimulus measures to support growth
preparing contingent plans for social assistance measures to cushion poor and low-
income households adversely affected by economic shocks
…and also important to continue to push forward on key structural reforms
To enhance long-term growth prospects AND support investor confidence
To improve domestic competitiveness to help in adjustment to appreciation with likely
resumption of capital inflows over the medium-term
Policies to enhance preparedness to ensure resilience
Structural reforms to maintain and enhance competitiveness
30
Manufacturing sector, perhaps more than any other, is likely to come under stress in the
event of a global economic slowdown
Manufacturing sector, in the last decade, has experienced a growth recession…
…and though there are signs of a pick-up, will be particularly important to take steps to
enhance the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector so as to enable it to contribute to
both growth and high value-added job creation
Key to both ensuring the near-term resilience and to sustainably enhancing the medium-
term competitiveness of the manufacturing sector is:
addressing infrastructure bottlenecks
reducing regulatory uncertainty and burden
Short-term measures that do not address the underlying structural impediments to the
competitiveness of Indonesia’s manufacturing sector are unlikely to lead to sustained
Revitalizing and enhancing the competitiveness of the
Indonesian manufacturing sector
