  19. ACFTA:Gates to Liberalization • ACFTA was agreed in November 2002. Both sides have targeted the realization of ACFTA in 2010 for Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and China, and 2015 for Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam. • Under the ACFTA, tariffs on certain products as known as the Early Harvest Program (EHP), were reduced before the onset of the FTA (came into effect on 1 January 2004). • Others agreements by sectors have also been agreed under ACFTA.

  20. Agreements Under ACFTA #1 • The ASEAN-China MOU on Strengthening Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Cooperation was signed in November 2007. • ASEAN-China MOU on Agricultural Cooperation in November 2002 in Phnom Penh; a more direct cooperation in the agricultural sector between the lead national agencies in ASEAN and China. An extended ASEAN-China MOU on Agricultural Cooperation for 2007-2011 was signed in January 2007 in Cebu. • ASEAN and China strategic partnership in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to promote international cooperation in terms of investment in human resources development on ICT and to explore the possibility of establishing Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) information highway.

  26. China Financial Aids and Investment:Aggressiveness due to Huge Foreign Reserve • Investment cooperation fund totaling US$10 billion (infrastructure construction, energy and resources, information and communications) • Credit of US$15 billion (including loans with preferential terms of 1.7 billion dollars in aid for cooperation projects) • Special aid of 39.7 million dollars to Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar • Provide 300,000 tons of rice for to strengthen food security • Donate 900,000 dollars to the cooperation fund of ASEAN plus China, Japan and the Republic of Korea • Inject 5 million dollars into the China-ASEAN Cooperation Fund • Offer of 2,000 government scholarships and 200 Master's scholarships for public administration students

  27. Relationship of ASEAN-China and ASEAN-India • ASEAN economic is relatively much smaller than China in terms of GDP, which is around 2.9 times of ASEAN’s. It is difficult for ASEAN to compete with China in FTA. Chinese population is 2.3 times ASEAN’s and a very huge market for ASEAN products, but even before FTA ASEAN products can hardly penetrate Chinese market due to lack of competitiveness. • ASEAN members (excl. Singapore) have similar characteristics, rich of natural resources, but low industrial productivity and competitiveness. This means that they compete each other, rather than complementing. Considering this characteristics, it needs a very hard work to develop AFTA for they are competing in same existing market and not creating a new opportunity.

  28. ASEAN has already signed a free trade agreement and will be followed by other agreements. ASEAN should develop a joined-marketing strategy to increase their bargaining, for example for CPO, Indonesia and Malaysia are the biggest producers, so they have a very strong position in determining price. When ASEAN is able to become a unified economy, then ASEAN will be able to offer an economic cooperation for mutual benefit of ASEAN, China and India. In investment, for instance, it is encouraged to China and India to establish processing industry in ASEAN, so China and India will not only absorb raw materials from ASEAN, but also give higher value added ASEAN. Should ASEAN not transform into an economic power, ASEAN would not get more benefit from FTA. Trade and investment after FTA will indeed encourage economic growth, but such growth will not give much value added into the economy. Although exist, value added will only be limited and unable to raise social welfare. Relationship of ASEAN-China and ASEAN-India

  29. Indonesian Economic Relationship with China and India

  30. China, India dan Indonesia: Different Economic Characteristics Chinese GDP showed that investment has the biggest share in GDP, while in China and Indonesia the second of the biggest share in GDP. China and India focus on exporting manufactured products, not natural resources materials. More competitive industrial sectors has made trade liberalization have more positive impact to China and India, otherwise to Indonesia. Export of manufactured products, due to more competitiveness and productivity, has an important role in increasing Chinese and Indian foreign reserves.

  45. China, India dan Indonesia:Trade and Investment Indonesian trade balance against China and India: surplus for oil and gas, but deficit for non-oil & gas Indonesian top 10 export to China and India are natural resources commodities. It is almost 80% for Indonesian export to India and 70% to China Import Indonesia from China and India: mostly manufactured products and final goods. Furthermore, on EHP implementation since 2004, Indonesia has imported a huge amount of agricultural products from China. Chinese and Indian FDI in Indonesia was relatively insignificant. Currently, there is a trend of acceleration of Chinese investment in Indonesia in infrastructure and oil & gas, while India in financial sector.

  46. China Investment to IndonesiaIt Will Increase, Soon

  47. Indonesia government has received standby loan ofUSD 5.5 billion and Bilateral Currency Swap Agreement (BCSA) up to US$ 17.5 billion. The BCSA scheme will strengthen rupiah value and maintain financial stability, as well as encouraging trade and investment. China trade with Indonesia will be pushed on natural resources and raw materials. Indonesian trade will be continuously dominated by Chinese manufactured products. As China has agreed to provide Special Buyer Credit Facility (SBCF) for Indonesia. China Loan to Indonesia Increased During 2008 Crisis

  48. China will focus their investment and trade on natural resources and raw materials, as well as infrastructure. On the other hand, Indonesian will be continuously importing Chinese manufactured products. This trend will make Indonesia become natural resources and raw materials exporter, as a consequence, employment opportunity growth will be stagnant, even slowing down.
