"The increase in imports of capital goods also shows that the need to increase production capacity in the industry is getting better," Margo said in an online press conference, Wednesday. Although a more in-depth study is needed, Margo said there is an indirect correlation between the increase in imports for industrial needs and the restrictions on community activities (PPKM) which were gradually relaxed in August. Throughout August, one by one the processing industries were given 100 percent leeway to carry out their activities by dividing them into two work shifts. The overall import performance in August 2021 was recorded at 16.68 billion US dollars, up 10.35 percent compared to July 2021. On an annual basis, import performance also rose 55.26 percent compared to August 2020.

The Threat of Delta Variants in Industrial Estates

This analysis is recorded in the evaluation of the implementation of emergency community activity restrictions (PPKM) in industrial areas throughout Java and Bali.
Jodi Mahardi, spokesman for the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investments, said that based on field monitoring, there are still many industries that are playing games and circumventing the regulations for operating permits and industrial activity mobility (IOMKI). "There are already violators of the IOMKI provisions who have been given sanctions," he told Tempo yesterday. In addition, he added, the government still faces obstacles in supervising operating policies in industrial estates. As is known, during the Java-Bali emergency PPKM period, only critical sectors were allowed to operate with 100 percent of employees working in the office. As for the essential sector, a maximum of 50 percent of employees work in the office. "The government also cannot work alone, it needs awareness of each industry. The government's step is to tighten regulations and provide sanctions for IOMKI violators," said Jodi. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed that there was high light intensity at night in industrial areas which indicated high worker activity. According to him, based on data from Karawang Regency, the delta variant spreads faster in industrial areas than in non-industrial areas. "Therefore, we are re-evaluating, tightening health protocols so that there are no new clusters," said Luhut. Several industrial zones that are of concern to the government are industrial areas in Bekasi, Karawang, South Tangerang, Tangerang, Bogor, Kudus, Sidoarjo, Mojokerto, and Gresik.

June Rain Anomaly

In June, usually the island of Java has entered the dry season. However, in the last two days it rained heavily.
The anomaly of warming sea surface temperatures in Indonesian waters and the cycle of the Madden Julian Oscillation atmospheric waves increase the chance of rain in the dry season again. "Currently there is a wet phase of the MJO, which will last until June 24. On June 25-30 the intensity of the rain will decrease, and entering July, the dry season will be dominant," said Head of the BMKG Air Quality and Climate Information Sub-Sector, Siswanto, when contacted in Jakarta. If you refer to the annual average, in June 2021, actually most of Java Island has entered the dry season. "However, this year it is predicted that the dry season will be wetter, similar to last year," he said. Climatology researcher at the Center for Atmospheric Science and Technology- the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) Erma Yulihastin said that rains that still frequently occur in western Indonesia, including Java and Sumatra, since the beginning of June have occurred due to the influence of the ocean-atmosphere dynamics that occurred in the Ocean. Indies. "This dynamic is shown by the formation of a low pressure center in the form of a wind vortex called the vortex in the south of the equator near the west coast of Sumatra and Java," he said. "This condition resulted in the concentration of cloud activity and rain occurring in the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra, resulting in the formation of prolonged rain during the dry season in most parts of Indonesia," he said.

Facing a New Profession

Long before the current turmoil, many experts have talked about such a phenomenon and suggested ways to increase our capacity.
In a 1966 interview, Fuller had predicted that education would become the education of a lifetime, education was made easier by the advent of technology and more and more people would study at home. Reorganization will benefit everyone. Therefore, Fuller prioritizes his students to think freely and independently even though he still emphasizes the critical power and doubts that remain the basis in education. His predictions did not deviate much. Especially in the midst of a pandemic, people are invited to be more skilled at thinking and learning independently. Critical power also remains the basic capital in the midst of various companies that no longer see educational background. They look more at personal abilities than their origin or higher education background. Seeing this phenomenon, it is appropriate for us to question the readiness of our educational methods and systems. As a parent, it is very possible that you will make the wrong steps in your child's education if you don't understand the times. The wrong planning will make children lose opportunities in the future. All the experts who talked about the new job spoke more about the ability to think systematically, work in an uncertain environment, multiculturalism, communication skills, and organizational skills. Technical ability becomes an important ability.

Staples are subject to VAT, inflation will be out of control

Narasi Institute economist Achmad Nur Hidayat said that although the new tariffs were not implemented this year, the plan could disturb consumers' psychology.
"The plan to increase VAT on basic necessities will encourage people to buy basic necessities outside of their needs for fear of rising prices," he said, adding that the potential for inflation this year would increase by 1%-2.5% so that inflation in 2021 could reach 2.18%-4.68. %. In addition to causing inflation that is burdensome for consumers in general, Achmad said that an increase in VAT of 12% on basic necessities from agricultural production will also cause small farmers to lose their welfare and eventually become poorer in the midst of the pandemic. This can happen because small farmers find it increasingly difficult to sell their products when consumers put the brakes on spending due to the increase in the VAT rate. The Deputy Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) Arsul Sani also said that the VAT rate increase was contradictory to the relaxation policy of the Sales Tax on Luxury Goods (PPnBM). In fact, only a limited number of people will benefit from the PPnBM policy, unlike VAT, which involves a large number of people. Meanwhile, Head of the Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF) of the Ministry of Finance, Febrio Nathan Kacaribu, said that middle and high-income countries generally receive their tax revenues dominated by VAT, not income tax (PPh).

Sri Mulyani: Draft KUP Bill Leaked and Spread with Incomplete Aspects

Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani Indrawati stated that the draft Law on General Provisions and Tax Procedures (KUP) had just been sent to the leadership of the DPR RI and had not been discussed.
Thus, his party deeply regrets the emergence of noise regarding the issue of the imposition of value added tax (VAT) for basic needs or basic necessities. Moreover, continued the Minister of Finance, the draft KUP Bill was leaked and spread to the public with aspects that were cut off and incomplete, causing conditions to become awkward. “The situation became a bit awkward because it turned out that later the documents were out because they had already been sent to the DPR as well. What came out in pieces," said Sri Mulyani in a working meeting with Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives. The Minister of Finance's statement answered requests for confirmation and objections from a number of members of the House of Representatives Commission XI regarding the circulation of news regarding the plan to impose VAT on basic necessities. Among the requests for confirmation and objections came from Andreas Eddy Susetyo from the PDIP faction, Puteri Anetta Komarudin from the Golkar Party faction, and Kamrussamad from the Gerindra Party faction. He emphasized that the government is currently still focused on restoring the economy so that he deeply regrets that there is a commotion in the community regarding the issue of basic necessities that will be subject to VAT. “Blowed up as if not paying attention to the current situation. We really use the APBN instrument because our goal is economic recovery from the demand side and supply side," said Sri Mulyani. However, he said, the government was still unable to explain in detail about this issue because in terms of political ethics there had been no discussion with the DPR RI.

"There are two boulevard project packages that will be completed this June following the other two packages later," said Herry. Herry added that a similar road project is in priority tourism areas as a special assignment to help developers.

Insurance Industry: Literacy is Still a Challenge in the Pandemic Period

Head of the OJK Regional 6 Consumer Education and Protection Section Sulampua Bondan Kusuma said literacy is a classic problem that needs to be solved in order to increase insurance inclusion at this time.
"This literacy issue is still a classic challenge for all of us, even though the benefits of this insurance should be as protection that can be adjusted to the needs, abilities and purchasing power of the people," he said in a Virtual Discussion. On the other hand, the use of life insurance products was also greatly affected by the impact of the pandemic as reflected in the industry's performance which was corrected in several indicators. The performance of the life insurance industry last year recorded a slowdown in performance due to economic pressures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Performance improvement is estimated to occur this year, accompanied by economic recovery and attractive literacy steps taken together. Based on data from the Indonesian Life Insurance Association (AAJI), the acquisition of industrial premiums per quarter I/2021 reached IDR 57.45 trillion or grew 28.5% compared to the previous IDR 44.72 trillion. (Business 10/6). AXA Mandiri Chief Communications Officer Atria Rai said that a series of insurance benefits literacy education was carried out by the company continuously, especially during this pandemic. “This pandemic has really affected all sectors, including life insurance. But then, the changes created from this pandemic will of course be used to improve the performance and utilization of our products," he said.

Bank tactics to keep profit

The ability of banks to generate profits continues to grow amidst the weakening demand for public credit. The bank's strategy in managing the spread of interest rates on loans and deposit rates is one of the keys to keeping profits high.
Based on data from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the group of Commercial Banks for Business Activities (BUKU) IV controls around 60% of third party funds (DPK) and lending. Until the first quarter of 2021, it was able to print a net interest margin/NIM difference of 5.10%. This ratio is higher than the position in the first quarter of 2020 of 4.63%. Meanwhile, for the BUKU II and BUKU III groups, the ratio of the difference in net interest decreased to 4.41% and 3.41% respectively compared to the same period 2020. In general, the bank's efforts to maintain profitability are reflected in its strategy of shifting public funds that accumulate to be placed into state securities instruments. Until March 2021, interest income from placements into securities grew by 25.26%. Meanwhile, interest income from loans disbursed experienced a not-so-deep correction at 3.46%. The two components of interest income represent 73.29% of the bank's total interest income, which up to the first quarter of 2021 was IDR 201.76 trillion. Another way for banks to maintain a rhythm of profitability is optimizing digital-based services so as to increase non-interest income or fee-based income, as well as reducing the number of service offices in the context of efficiency.

Don't throw away used cooking oil

Household waste from frying pans in the form of used cooking oil which is often called used cooking oil has become a serious problem in a densely populated residential area called Cilincing in North Jakarta.
Residents throw the waste carelessly into house yards and waterways, giving rise to a rancid smell and fly attacks that reflect the slum aura of their living environment. Disposing of used cooking oil indiscriminately can have a negative impact on the environment because the oil is difficult to decompose by soil microorganisms. Like a tit for tat, when residents were confused about how to deal with used cooking oil waste, the local government in collaboration with the non-profit organization Rumah Sosial Kutub launched a cooking oil alms program. "Residents welcome the program because they are no longer confused about handling used cooking oil waste," said Nakri, coordinator of the collection of used cooking oil. For one week, the used cooking oil produced by each family is about one bottle of 600 milliliters of mineral water. Meanwhile, used cooking oil produced by food stalls can reach one conductor. Now the act of collecting used cooking oil has spread to many cities, from Jabodetabek, Tegal, Cirebon to Yogyakarta. In 2020, the used cooking oil collected collectively from residents in the Greater Jakarta area will reach 100 thousand liters. The used cooking oil pick-up scheme is made to order.

Europe's Attitude to Palm Oil Is Funny

For more than four decades, various negative issues have continued to be raised against palm oil and its derivatives.
Not only were they accused of destroying the environment and not good for health, the national palm oil industry was also accused of destroying many orangutans. "Indeed there is an orangutan who died, but only one, and that was not done by the oil palm plantation industry," said the Indonesian Ambassador to Germany, Arif Havas Oegroseno. comprehensively. "They don't see that we currently have a palm oil moratorium for years. During the time of President SBY, there was also a moratorium. They really don't want to see that we have made a lot of improvements in the national palm oil industry," said Arif. In line with this, Deputy Chairman III of Gapki, Togar Sitanggang, actually said, "Europe doesn't want fresh things from Indonesia. They just want used ones." Togar explained that Europe continues to slander palm oil from Indonesia and plans to prevent crude palm oil (CPO) from being used as biodiesel raw material for the transportation industry in Europe. Efforts to ban the use of Indonesian CPO in biodiesel production in Europe are planned to start in 2030 through the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). RED II classifies palm oil in the category of high-risk Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC). As a result, palm oil is seen as contributing to deforestation and climate change.
