2015 Policy Paper
Promoting Positive Business Growth

For Social And Economic Development
PREFACE: ICCC PRESIDENT
As business leaders working in Indonesia, we have the aspiration

as good corporate citizens to express our views on the local
business climate and to offer suggestions on ways to improve it.
As businesses who are here for the long-term we also hold a desire
to assist the Indonesian Government in promoting itself as an
investment and trade destination as well as assisting Indonesian
investors wishing to trade or invest in Canada.
The genesis of this publication was a sincere desire of the business
leaders of the Indonesia Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC)
to provide the incoming Indonesian administration with some
constructively crafted suggestions on how to support critical
industries where our members compete and to highlight areas of
opportunities in other important sectors. The singular objective
of the exercise was to make a positive contribution to the bilateral
discussions and to strengthen the friendship that already exists
between our two great nations.
We began this work before the outcome of the general and
presidential elections were known. We solicited hundreds of expert
opinions from businesspeople with extensive networks and who
could provide invaluable insights on concrete policy actions that would accelerate the countrys growth
and development.
Throughout this process, and for the past few years, the Canadian Ambassador and Senior Trade
Commissioner have challenged us to raise awareness of the Canadian brand in Indonesia and to
promote Indonesia-Canada bilateral trade. We have made important steps in this direction with their
support and guidance.
Since 2012, the ICCC has worked to become a more vibrant, vocal and active participant in the local
business community. With the solid financial backing of our corporate members, we have grown our
membership size and diversity, the breadth and frequency of activities including business and social
networking opportunities, and introduced publication and advocacy initiatives.
We have also strengthened our collaboration with our partner associations such as the Canadian Alumni
in Indonesia (CALINDO), the Canadian Education International (CEI), the Canadian Womens Association
(CWA), the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), the Indonesia-Canada Committee
of KADIN (KIKAN) as well as other Business Chambers. As we have made this transformation we have
seen a renewed sense of excitement about the possibilities for Indonesia and Canadas friendship to be
taken to new heights.
We hope that this publication increases your awareness of the Canadian presence in Indonesia, and of
the opportunities that exist to broaden and deepen our growing bilateral relationship in the years to
come. We sincerely welcome an opportunity to have a further dialogue with the Indonesia Chamber of
Commerce regarding the opportunities or ideas presented in this publication.

FOREWARD: CANADIAN AMBASSADOR TO INDONESIA
These are exciting times in the Canada-Indonesia relationship. Our

commercial and people-to-people ties continue to grow rapidly,
and Canada looks forward to working closely with the Indonesian
government under President Joko Widodo.
Whether it be through our work together at the G20 or APEC; building
better understandings on human rights, democracy, and good
governance; collectively combating terrorism and strengthening
defense relations; or working to expand our increasingly robust
trade and investment partnership, Canada and Indonesia continue
to do so in the spirit of friendship.
Wherever I have traveled in Indonesia since my arrival in 2013, I have
been struck by the depth of commitment of the Indonesian people
to creating a prosperous, democratic, and pluralistic society.
I have been equally impressed by how Indonesians are determined
to play a larger role in world affairs, and how Indonesia has taken
on an increasingly robust economic leadership role in line with its
growing economic status!
Our bilateral relationship is mature and fully reflects the strategic partnership Indonesia and Canada
have built as global leaders supporting the growth of international trade and investment. This mature
relationship allows us to engage in a frank and open dialogue which ensures that we can celebrate
our successes, while working together to address issues that may be limiting our economic growth
potential.
Leading Canadian companies such as BlackBerry, SNC Lavalin, Manulife, Sunlife, Talisman, Husky,
Hatch, Bombardier, McElhanney and CAE to name but a few, are fully engaged in responding to the
needs of the dynamic and rapidly growing Indonesian market. Indonesia is Canadas largest bilateral
trading partner in the Southeast Asian region, and is home to a considerable amount of Canadian direct
investment. This investment has created thousands of jobs and has helped to increase prosperity and
development across Indonesia.
Indonesia has not only been a recipient of significant investment from Canada, but it has also been a
growing source of foreign direct investment to Canada. Indeed investment by Indonesian companies to
Canada is now worth billions of dollars. It is upon this growing foundation of bilateral investment that
our joint future prosperity will be built.
Looking into the future, our shared values of promoting prosperous, democratic societies will continue
to be the hallmarks of our relationship.
With this in mind, I am pleased that the Indonesia-Canada Chamber of Commerce has prepared this
policy paper which outlines the successes of our vibrant economic relationship, while outlining how we
can build further upon it.

2015 Policy Paper
FOREWARD: INDONESIAN AMBASSADOR TO CANADA
Firstly, I wish to congratulate the Indonesia Canada Chamber

of Commerce (ICCC) for publishing this policy paper. This
paper is very timely as it is released at a time when the new
government under President Joko Widodo has outlined
the national priorities for the next five years of which the
acceleration of Indonesias economic and social development
has become top on the list.
Therefore, I am of the opinion that ICCCs policy paper entitled
Accelerating Indonesias Growth: Opportunities to Enhance
the Indonesia-Canada Economic Relationship will help
readers gain insights about Indonesias untapped economic
potentials.
With a population of more than 240 million and having a large
middle class, Indonesia is an ideal destination for Canadian
companies to invest. Indeed, Indonesia and Canada are
natural partners as our two countries share similar confidence
in the democratic system of governance and the value of
respecting human rights. The democratic system gives room to both our people to speak their
mind and contribute actively in our respective national development.
I am pleased that Canadian business communities continue to engage in various economic
opportunities in Indonesia. We welcome your presence and we wish to see more Canadian
investors exploring business opportunities, both in our land and in our vast sea territory.
Being an archipelago, Indonesias coastline is the second longest after Canadas. Our two
countries have been developing a close cooperation in combating transnational crimes at
sea, including the challenge of people smuggling. I believe we can also develop a mutually
beneficial maritime cooperation. Indonesia can learn more from Canadas experiences in
maximizing its sea potentialsfrom the sustainable use of its marine resources to deep-sea
exploration.
As a final note, ICCC can play a strategic role in generating more awareness and confidence
among Canadian business community about Indonesiaa country with abundant potentials
that shall not be overlooked.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Indonesia and Canada have developed a solid, multifaceted, and mutually beneficial relationship
during the past 60 years, a relationship which has the potential to further broaden and deepen in the
years to come as Indonesias growth accelerates.
While our two countries are physically separated by the Pacific Ocean, we can also see ourselves as
partners around the shores of this Ocean, brought together by the similar national challenges that exist
for two vast countries with diverse, disperse populations and abundant natural resources. Today, we
are increasingly brought together both commercially and culturally at the speed of light by advances in
communications technologies.
Our two countries have a vibrant and expanding trade and investment partnership, with total bilateral
trade amounting to $3.4 billion in 2014 and growing at 15-20% per year. A diverse range of Canadian
firms have invested over $3.2 billion in Indonesia, in communications, energy, mining, environment,
financial services, aerospace & defense, education, infrastructure, consumer products, health, power,
agri-food and agriculture. These investments have created thousands of jobs, have linked Indonesia
to international markets, facilitated technology inflows and supported Indonesias move up the global
value chain. Indonesian firms are increasingly becoming aware of investment opportunities in Canada,
and making sizable investments. Canada is welcoming those investments with open arms.
Canadian companies have demonstrated a preference for long-term investment strategies which
include the development of strong local business and social linkages within Indonesia. An integral part
of this long-term strategy is the transfer of knowledge and expertise, an approach which will benefit
Indonesia more and more over the long term. Canadian firms understand the importance of mutual
benefit, and find it also to be in their own interest to hire or develop national expertise whenever
possible.
The Government of Canada also supports the Government of Indonesia in a number of development
priority areas, including building economic foundations, investing in people, and advancing democracy
with an ultimate objective of improving sustainable economic prosperity for the poor. A current
portfolio of a dozen development projects focus on enhancing public financial management, natural
resource management, and on human resources development to name only some of the areas of focus.
In this publication, we have initially focused on six key sectors which align both with Canadian strengths
and with Indonesias priorities for accelerated development through private sector investment. These
sectors are Oil and Gas, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Non-Bank Financial Services,
and Mining. In each of these six sectors, we have outlined how Canadas experience, capabilities and
interests support and fit well with Indonesias growth and private sector development objectives.
Based on the experience of our private sector stakeholders in Indonesia and around the world, we have
included constructive suggestions regarding steps that the Government of Indonesia could take to
enable or accelerate investments in these priority sectors.
It is hoped that the constructive suggestions provided in this publication can stimulate a dialogue
which will ultimately lead to a further expansion of the economic partnership between Canada and
Indonesia for mutual benefit.

ACCELERATING
INDONESIAS GROWTH
Opportunities to Enhance
the Indonesia-Canada Economic Relationship
KEY FINDINGS
Partners Hand-in-Hand across the Pacific
For over 60 years Indonesia and Canada have shared a strong and mutually beneficial relationship based on investment and trade,
government-to-government initiatives, development, tourism, and education. Today many agree that Indonesia and Canada have
progressed from being just neighbours across the Pacific, to becoming true partners for sustainable and mutually beneficial growth.
Indonesian and Canada share a strong and mutually beneficial

relationship, and have done so for many years. The relationship
includes investment and trade, government cooperation,
development assistance and visits of citizens to the other country.
There are many reasons to believe this relationship will continue
to strengthen going forward.
Different but Similar
Vibrant Trade and Investment
There are clear differences between Indonesia and Canada

when our two countries are compared in terms of population
size, GDP per capita, and of course climate. However there
are some very important similarities between the two nations.
Canada and Indonesia are both culturally diverse and Canada
could easily adopt Indonesias motto unity in diversity. Both
countries are geographically expansive (Indonesia at 1,904,569
km2 and Canada at 9,984,000 km2) and must deal with the
many challenges associated with managing and developing
a large country. Both countries have several major cities
but also many smaller cities and towns, and many isolated
communities. Canada and Indonesia both also have stable
macro-economic environments and strong public finance
fundamentals and are both key founding members of the
G20. Canada and Indonesia are both rich in natural resources,
and while natural resources form an important part of both
economies, Canada and Indonesia are well positioned to take
advantage of many other economic growth opportunities. In
terms of trade and investment policy, Canada and Indonesia
have both swung from periods of protectionism to greater
openness. With regards to protection of the environment, both
Canada and Indonesia see this as an essential foundation of
sustainable economic growth.
Today the total bilateral trade relationship amounts to $3.4

billion, growing at 15-20% per year. Billions of dollars of
investment from Indonesian companies are planned over
the next several years, which adds to the billions of dollars
Canadian companies have invested in Indonesia to date,
creating thousands of jobs. The most recognized Canadian
companies include:
Strength in Knowledge Sharing

Indonesia has a lot to offer Canada and Canada has a lot to offer
Indonesia. Canada is a world leader in science, technology and
innovation, and is recognized as one of the most innovative
and competitive economies in the world. Canada generates
over 4% of global knowledge, despite accounting for just 0.5%
of the worlds population.
Canadas performance is consistently strong in measures
related to the quality of education, market regulation, and
social factors. Since 2006, over $9 billion has been invested in
support of science, technology, and the growth of innovative
firms, thereby fostering a world-class research and innovation
system that supports Canadian businesses and economic
growth.

Canadian Experience and Insight: Supporting

the Acceleration of Indonesias Growth
Canadian companies have had the privilege to work in key
sectors in Indonesia and have the experience and insight to
support the acceleration of Indonesias growth. Discussion
with Canadian companies and organizations provides valuable
input from a partner and a friend.

2015 Policy Paper
Ideas and Input to support the
OIL AND GAS SECTOR
Indonesia and Canada continue to advance in

developing their natural resources in a rapidly
changing local and global environment and
while there is progress in renewable energy
production, hydrocarbons remain a foundation
of Indonesias export revenues
OIL AND GAS SECTOR
Summary Background
Both Indonesia and Canada have benefited significantly from
the petroleum industry,with commercial oil production starting
in Canada in the 1850s and Indonesia in the 1880s. (Interestingly,
evidence suggests Canadian drillers were plying their services in
Java before the end of the 19th century.)
Today Indonesia and Canada continue to advance in developing
their natural resources in a rapidly changing local and global
environment and while there is progress in renewable energy
production, hydrocarbons remain a foundation of Indonesias
export revenues, accounting for 58% of gross revenue in 2012
(US$33.48B).
One of the challenges that Indonesia currently faces is that an
estimated 70-80% of fields are maturing and recent declines in
exploration activities have contributed to diminishing production
with output of 870,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d)
in 2013 down from peak production of 1.387m boe/d in 2001.
Estimated reserves are projected to fall to 3.4bn by 2022 in the
absence of new discoveries.
To stimulate exploration, the Indonesian government enters
into production sharing contracts (PSCs) with both domestic
and international oil and gas companies whereby the investor
assumes the full financial risk of exploration activities. If
successful, the government and the investor split the revenue
generated by produced hydrocarbons and the investor is also
able to recover the exploration and development funds it

incurred on the project.
Under these PSCs there are a number of Canadian oil and gas
companies currently active in Indonesia working with Indonesian
partners to explore for new discoveries. Beyond exploratory
activities, the Indonesian-Canadian relationship in this sector has
deepened as Canadian companies have reached the production
phase of specific projects and are delivering results to investors
and benefits to the Government of Indonesia.
While strategically maximizing revenues from oil, Indonesia has
the 11th largest conventional gas reserves in the world, with
conventional reserves of an estimated 157 trillion cubic feet (tcf).
With the development of re-gasification facilities, Indonesian
utility giants, PLN and PGN, are now contracting to purchase
LNG produced within Indonesia and these sales of domestic LNG
production now set the high mark for pipeline gas.
The ICCC has spoken with the leadership of Canadian companies
working in the oil and gas sector. There is resounding agreement
amongst these Canadian companies regarding the large number
of opportunities available to Indonesia and many have shared
key strategic actions Indonesia can take to enable the realization
of these opportunities.

2015 Policy Paper
OIL AND GAS SECTOR
Maximizing Opportunities
Quality and innovation define Canadas oil and gas industry.
Canadian companies and research institutes offer solutions at
every stage of energy resource development, from exploration to
distribution. This expertise extends to hydrocarbon engineering;
infrastructure development; geophysical and seismic services;
drilling rigs and related advanced technology; environmental
management; upgrading, processing, refining; and, pipeline
networks. Two areas where there is incredible opportunity
for Indonesia and Canada to collaborate are, (i) enhanced oil
recovery; and, (ii) unconventional gas.
Enhanced Oil Recovery
Canadian companies are ready to support the Indonesian
government to apply enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies
to stimulate oil production in marginal or abandoned properties.
Using EOR or tertiary techniques, 30 to 60 percent or more of
the reservoirs original oil can be extracted, compared with
only 20 to 40 percent using primary and secondary recovery.
Developed over decades, often in complex reservoir conditions,
Canadas EOR expertise encompasses thermal recovery as well
as chemical and gas injection including CO2-EOR. As an example,
a CO2-EOR project in the province of Saskatchewan, started in
2000, is expected to extend the life of the Weyburn Oil Field for an
additional 25 years and recover an additional 130 million barrels
of oil.
Unconventional Gas
Indonesias future will be dominated by gas which comprises
~85% of the countrys hydrocarbon reserves. In terms of
unconventional gas potential, estimates rank Indonesia in the
global top ten. Reserves of shale gas are estimated at 574 tcf and
coal bed methane (CBM) at 453 tcf, but with minimal development
to date. Having extensive experience in both shale gas and CBM,
over 175,000 wells have been hydraulically fractured and 20,000
CBM well producing connections established in the Canadian
province of Alberta alone. Canadian oil and gas equipment and
service suppliers are world leaders in high volume and multi-stage
hydraulic fracturing techniques, drilling/casing, gas stimulation
for CBM including advanced wellhead pump and sensor
equipment, sour gas treatment and flare reduction technologies.
Further, Canada has developed a strong regulatory framework
encompassing both conventional and unconventional gas, which
addresses key issues such as land access and aquifer protection.
Pro-Growth Policy Actions

Strengthening Inter-Ministerial and Department Coordination
The Jokowi and Kalla leadership will benefit greatly from
emphasizing better coordination and cooperation amongst
multiple government ministries and departments which will
significantly support increased foreign and domestic investment.
This, in turn, will result in increased exploration activity and
increased investment into producing fields.
A good example of past government inter-ministerial
cooperation in the oil and gas sector occurred when a shipping

2015 Policy Paper
law,originally set to come into effect in 2011,required vessels

operating in Indonesian waters to be domestically owned.
However, no Indonesian shipping companies owned the many
kinds of specialized vessels commonly used within the oil and
gas industry, such as jack-up rigs and seismic vessels. Strict
implementation of the law would have severely impacted
exploration activities and, worse yet, would have resulted in
several producing oil and gas fields to have had to be capped.
Fortunately, relevant government ministries worked together to
agree a suitable and practical exemption for the specific vessels
vital to the oil and gas industry.
Follow through with President Joko Widodos mandate of
streamlining licensing and permitting
In his presidential campaign, President Jokowi on numerous
occasions voiced concern over the layers of bureaucracy and
lengthy time periods required to obtain licenses and permits. In
the oil and gas sector, investors need to obtain up to 69 different
types of permits throughout the life of a project. Those permits
require investors to engage in over 280 different processes with
more than 17 different government agencies. One positive step
will be to require relevant government agencies to sign on to
a common streamlined and simplified one stop permitting
framework to ensure quality, efficiency and transparency.
PSC RELATED ACTIONS

Developing PSCs with more favorable terms
Investment in the sector will increase if the government continues
to provide alternatives to PSCs with strict investor incurs all
risk terms, which limit the number of firms willing to invest in
Indonesia and hence limit overall investment. Positive initiatives
which can be expanded include the government (1) making
available an increasing number of contract areas, (2) allowing
investors to conduct joint studies with Indonesian Universities,
(3) direct bidding of new exploration areas, and (4) providing
more favorable economic terms for PSCs in high risk, high cost
areas. Innovative PSC terms will combat the countrys widening
supply/demand gap, and introduce incentives which will make
Indonesia an attractive destination for exploration investors.
This is especially relevant given the fact that Indonesias new
exploration frontiers lie in more remote locations, including the
eastern, deep water areas of the country where exploration is
higher risk and requires more complex and costly technology.
Clarity, Consistency, Legal Certainty related to PSCs
Clarity, consistency, and legal certainty is critical to Indonesias
energy industry, an industry which requires policy stability
in order to secure long term investment and financing. A key
action which could be taken by the Indonesian government
would be to create an amendment to the current Oil and Gas
Law which addresses the constitutional requirements set out by
the Constitutional Court, minimizing the risk of challenges to the
existence of the oil and gas regulator and ensuring that rights
will not be unilaterally removed, diminished or restricted by the
introduction of new laws or regulations.
OIL AND GAS SECTOR
This action by the Indonesian government will reduce the

perceived risk for local and foreign industry players by creating
a stable and secure legal framework necessary for the regulation
of the upstream oil and gas industry and thereby providing the
sanctity of contract for all existing PSCs.
Summary Case Study 1:

A 13 November 2012 Constitutional Court decision declared
the State body BPMIGAS (the upstream oil and gas regulator)
unconstitutional, creating deep uncertainty and eroding investor
confidence in the oil and gas sector.
As a temporary measure, the Government created SKKMIGAS,
a special task force under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources (MEMR), to fulfill the roles and responsibilities of
BPMIGAS.
There were critical questions left unanswered including:
Who is the counter party to existing PSCs?
Who will sign future PSCs on behalf of the Government?
What will prevent the Court from declaring the same fate for
SKKMIGAS?
Develop a Clear PSC Extension Process
The current law recognizes PSC extensions and a clear application
of the extension process will improve certainty, confidence, and
enable investment in and continued development of energy
resources.
MEMR is working to issue new regulations and in order to develop
a clear PSC extension process, the regulations will need to
include clear time lines on government actions and decisions,
while also providing enough flexibility for the government and
relevant investors to ensure sufficient mutual benefit to justify
the extension.
Investors will look to invest in new projects, such as enhanced
oil recovery on maturing fields, when they are able to calculate a
reasonable rate of return on their investment over the life of the
extension period. The investments gained from implementing
a clear PSC extension process could play a significant role in
enabling the government to meet its oil and gas production
targets. This is especially relevant now because within the next
five years, approximately twenty PSCs (which cover nearly 30%
of Indonesias oil production)will expire and over the next ten
years,PSCs responsible for more than 60% of Indonesias oil
production will expire.
Investors will look to invest in

new projects, such as enhanced
oil recovery on maturing fields,
when they are able to calculate a
reasonable rate of return on their
investment over the life of the
extension period.
Retraction of Government Regulation 79/2010 (GR79), Land
and Building Tax (LBT) on Production Sharing Contracts(PSC)
Retraction of Government Regulation 79/2010 will result in
investors being subject to Land & Building Tax once production
of hydrocarbons begins on successful PSC explorations and not
subject to taxes if exploration is unsuccessful and not able to
produce hydrocarbons.
Summary Case Study 2

The Land and Building Tax (LBT) imposed under Government
Regulation 79/2010 will discourage investment in the oil and gas
sector. PSC contractors do not own the land on which they explore
for hydrocarbons, nor do they own the buildings or facilities
constructed in respect of their exploration activities. Those
rights are held by the Government of Indonesia. Application of
the LBT on PSC contractors is inappropriate.
Information gained from current post-GR79 PSC contractors reveal
that in June 2013, the Tax Office issued LBT notices amounting
to US$260 million (for fiscal years 2012 and 2013) exceeding in
many cases the financial commitment which the PSC contractor
had agreed to expend during exploration activities. While the
Directorate General of Taxes has agreed, in principle, that going
forward the LBT will be imposed only on utilized surface area
as opposed to the entire area set out in the PSC, affected PSC
contractors who wish to challenge the LBT assessment must
make an advance payment (50% of the assessed amount) before
the Tax Court will entertain the challenge. This high tax burden
on exploration activities is serving as a disincentive to bidding
on new blocks, thereby hindering the governments objective of
increasing oil and gas production.

Summary Background
Infrastructure based on a public-private partnership (PPP) model
is a long-term performance-based approach in which the private
sector assumes a major share of the risks of developing the
infrastructure in terms of financing, construction, maintenance,
and operations and the government generally takes on the risk
of land acquisition. PPPs are rapidly increasing in popularity
internationally as governments are attracted to the cost and
risk sharing aspect as they deal with significant infrastructure
requirements while at the same time struggling to contain fiscal
deficits.
The Canadian government has been very open to establishing
PPPs and since 1997 has implemented over 205 PPP projects in a
wide range of sectors. Based on its 20 years of experience and the
many lessons learned, the Canadian government has developed
a very strong PPP working model which it will share through its
support of the creation of the APEC PPP Center to be embedded in
the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. Canada will provide financial
and technical support to the PPP Center whose main goal will
be to support the Indonesian government in implementing PPP
projects.
Take advantage of Canadas knowledge and expertise:
There are a number of infrastructure sectors including power
generation, the construction of airports, and the development
of water/waste water facilities for municipalities, where Canada
has significant experience in implementing PPPs. Canada and
Canadian companies can be valuable partners working with
and for Indonesia. Canada will also continue to work to support
Indonesias efforts to develop a regulatory and operational
environment that will lead to the effective implementation of
PPP projects.
PPP Based Power Generation Projects:

Canada has significant expertise in power generation, specifically
in the area of hydro, biomass, and solar power. It is understood
from the research underpinning the new National Energy Policy
that there is a pressing need to develop significant additional
power generation capacity in Indonesia to support further
growth of the economy and the expected demand that will come
with growth. Some studies suggest six gigawatts of new power
generation will be required every year for the next 10 years to
guarantee a reliable supply of electricity for industry and public
use. With an estimated USD$125 billion investment required to
address the current shortfall in generation as well as to meet
future demand, PPP agreements can play a critical role in
Indonesias future power generation development.
PPP Based Airport Development Projects:
Canada shares many of the geographical challenges faced
by Indonesia and can provide Indonesia with expertise and
development support for air traffic control systems, airport
ground support equipment, safety and security equipment,
IT infrastructure and services, and engineering and logistics
surrounding the airport supply chain at all of the 45 new airports
the Ministry of Transport is planning to build by 2022 (of which 24
are expected to be completed by 2017).
Successful development of Indonesias airport infrastructure
depends on the existence of successful airports acting as vibrant
commercial hubs, generating revenue streams from additional
sources other than only air traffic control fees and related
civil aviation fees. Indonesia has the potential to develop a
sustainable and cost effective network similar to the network
Canada has developed across the country, a network that well
serves small, medium, and large population centers.

2015 Policy Paper
Infrastructure based on
a public-private partnership (PPP)
model is a long-term performancebased approach in which the private
sector assumes a major share of the
risks of developing the infrastructure
in terms of financing, construction,
maintenance, and operations and the
government generally takes on the risk
of land acquisition.
Like Canada, Indonesias population is spread across a vast

country with many remote locations requiring access. Civil
aviation is the only form of transportation that can meet the
need for the fast and efficient movement of people across the
country. As incomes rise,this will further drive the explosive
growth of the aviation/airport sector in Indonesia. Canadian
companies are well positioned to help satisfy the growing
demand pressure currently placed on Indonesias airport
infrastructure.
PPP Based Water/Waste Water Development Projects:
Canada is a world leader in water and waste water systems
and Canadian companies are experts at developing a wide
range of systems all the way from basic traditional water
purification networks to technically advanced systems
required for large vibrant urban centers.
Canadian companies are ready to support Indonesia
with treatment technologies, aerators, pumps, valves,
instrumentation,
training,
industrial
wastewater
technologies/services, engineering and consulting services
(including feasibility studies for water and sanitation
systems) in order to help the Ministry of Public Works and
Public Housing to reach its goals of increasing access to
water from 42% to 62% in urban areas and from 11% to 40 %
in rural areas by 2015.

Develop a conducive PPP regulatory environment
There are three key steps Indonesia can take to create a
conducive PPP regulatory environment.
1. Create a system which supports timely and fair land
acquisition
2. Support the development of improved inter-ministerial
coordination, especially in relation to coordination
between the central government and local governments
3. Provision of a government guarantee mechanism.
Indonesia has taken great steps in achieving an
investment rating and a government guarantee will
cement investor confidence.

2015 Policy Paper
Indonesia is a firm believer in

the PPP investment structure
with over USD45 billion in
power generation, rail, road,

AGRICULTURE SECTOR
Canadian agricultural products are as diverse

as Canadas land and people, and are worldrenowned for their excellence. Enforcement
of strict quality standards enhances this
international reputation, along with a strong
commitment to environmental sustainability.
Agriculture Sector
Summary Background
Canadian milk and dairy products are as diverse as Canadas
land and people, and are world-renowned for their excellence.
Enforcement of strict quality standards on dairy farms and in
processing plants enhances this international reputation, along
with a strong commitment to sound animal welfare practices and
environmental sustainability. Canadian companies are ready to
support Indonesia in all areas of dairy farming with world class
knowledge and assistance.
Genetics
The Canadian dairy industry is famous for the excellent genetic
quality of its herd as well as its strong dairy cattle improvement
and genetic evaluation programs. Over 76% of Canadian dairy
herds are enrolled in milk recording programs. Cows recorded in
official milk recording programs produced on average 9,780 kg of
milk per lactation (305 days) with an average content of 3.85%
fat and 3.22% protein. The Holstein breed is the most common
dairy breed (94% of the dairy herd); Ayrshire, Brown Swiss,
Canadienne, Guernsey, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn breeds
are also found on Canadian farms. Canada is at the forefront
of new and innovative research into dairy genetics and is ready
to share this knowledge with Indonesia. Animal DNA profiles
are determined by estimating genomic evaluations for over 60
different traits. To date, evaluations are calculated using imputed
genotypes (6K and 50K panels).
Manufacturing of Dairy Products

Canadians looking for healthy and nutritional products continue
to have access to an ever expanding range of quality and
innovative Canadian dairy products. New dairy products have
been developed such as Greek-style yogurt, pre- and pro-biotics,
lactose-free and calcium or omega-3 fortified products. Milk
protein products continue to be used as ingredients in a growing
array of food items, such as infant formula, sports and nutritional
beverages and confectioneries. Canadian companies are ready
to work with Indonesian entrepreneurs and the Indonesian
government to develop products that meet Indonesians tastes
and needs.
Cheese is an increasingly popular and nutritious food product
in many countries, including Indonesia. The Canadian cheese
industry has entered into a maturity phase, evidenced by its knowhow developed through extensive cheese making traditions and
the diversity of its more than 1000 varieties of cheese (cow, goat,
ewe and water buffalo). Canadian companies would appreciate
the opportunity to increase Indonesians access to a wide variety
of cheeses recognized around the world for their quality and
taste.

products
are safe and high in quality
Safety and Quality
Indonesian companies have expressed a high degree of interest

in accessing Canadian expertise, technology, and live cattle in
order to build a vibrant dairy industry in Indonesia. This interest
is driven by Canadas reputation as a premier producer of dairy
products. Government and industry partners work in close
cooperation to coordinate the movement of milk from the farm
to the consumer and to ensure a strong and dynamic industry.
Adherence to OIE guidelines
Strict quality standards are applied throughout Canadas

production and processing chain, standards and processes
which Canadians are ready to help Indonesia implement. The
main quality assurance mechanisms that ensure milk and dairy
products are safe and high in quality are:
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) and/or ISO
certification.
Canadian Quality Milk on-farm food safety program
Sound welfare practices in the Code of Practice of the Care
and Handling of Dairy Cattle.
National bio security standards, protocols and strategies
designed to protect animal resources.
National eradication programs for serious cattle diseases
(several of which have been eradicated from the dairy herd).
Mandatory control and monitoring in accordance with
international agreements, particularly World Organisation
for Animal Health (OIE) agreements, protecting Canadian
livestock from serious diseases.
Development of a full traceability system is a priority in
Canada which includes three basic elements: animal
identification, premises identification and animal
movement.
Research and development of new dairy products and
production methods are the result of strategic alliances
among producers, processors, universities, and federal and
provincial research centers.
These high standards contribute to the excellent international
reputation of Canadian dairy products.

2015 Policy Paper
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Terrestrial Animal

Health Code for Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) sets out
strict guidelines, all of which are met by Canadian producers, on
how countries can safely import animal products from countries
labeled controlled risk. In short, the OIE does not oppose trade
in Canadian cattle with Indonesia. However, previously under
Indonesian law 18/2009, Canada must achieve Negligible Risk
status under the OIE in order to export live cattle to Indonesia;
a law which is prohibiting Indonesian companies from having
access to the full suite of Canadian expertise in the dairy industry.
This law goes against the guidelines of the OIE. In a recent change,
Indonesias House of Representatives revised Law 18/2009 in
September 2014. The revision will allow the importation of live
animals/beef from regions or zones that are not affected by
BSE. However, the law will be implemented after the Ministry
of Agriculture issues several animal health regulations. This
includes the establishment of a quarantine island for live cattle.
In principle this should allow for live cattle access from Canada.
In practice it may be somewhat cumbersome to implement and
will take significant time to determine its effectiveness.
In November 2015 Canada will apply to the OIE to change its status
from controlled risk to negligible risk, which will allow for the
importation of Canadian live cattle into Indonesia. However, in
the interim the Indonesian government can take steps to pave
the way to develop mutually beneficial partnerships in the dairy
industry. A lifting of the ban on the importation of live Canadian
cattle will make it economically viable for Canadian companies
to fully engage in the further development of the dairy industry
in Indonesia.
A Taste of
Canadian Agricultural
Commodities
British Colombia (BC)

British Colombia, directly across the
ocean from Papua, Indonesia, has a lot to
offer. Delicious tomatoes,
Blueberries, world famous seafood
including wild and farmed species
of salmon, finfish, and shellfish. BC is
also home to a growing, internationally
competitive wine industry. Products from
the Bio-Science Industry are also of great
interest to Indonesian consumers.
Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan plays a major role in Canadas agriculture and
food industry. Today just over 70% of Saskatchewans GDP is
dependent upon exports. Products of interest to Indonesia
include Wheat and Durum, Canola and Flax, Pulses, Mustard,
and also products from the Bio-Science Industry.
Ontario
Including Indonesia as a priority trading partner would support
balanced expansion of the provinces trade portfolio which is
currently made up of the U.S., Mexico and the European . Products
that are of interest to Indonesia include Corn, Vegetables, Red
Meat (of which a large selection are halal-certified), Wine, and
products from the Bio-Science Industry.
Newfoundland and Labrodour

Indonesians would love this regions specialty - cold water
shrimp and snow crab, which thrive in cold water. Currently the
largest Asian importer of this regions goods is China making up
22.5% of export value. Other attractive products include farmraised Atlantic salmon, herring, mackerel, cod, flounder and
other species.
Prince Edward Island

Total agri-food, fisheries and seafood exports exceed $520
million. Products of interest to Indonesians include Potatoes,
Blueberries, Lobster, Blue Mussels, Snow crab, and products
from the Bio-Science Industry where the focus is on bio-active
compounds and their application to improvements in human,
animal, and fish health and nutrition.
Alberta
Albertas international agri-food exports exceed $6.6 billion in
2010. Albertas primary export markets have been the US, China,
Japan, Mexico and South Korea. Indonesia would be a perfect fit
as consumer demands match Albertas produce which includes
Wheat, Canola, Grade A Beef, and Bio-Science Industry goods.
Manitoba
Most of Manitobas barley and oats, peas, beans, flax, lucerne
(alfalfa) and grasses currently go to the United States however
the province looks forward to doing more trade with Indonesia.
Manitoba can also support Indonesia reduce the costs of primary
production; developing new income streams for farms; and
growth in the value-added sector.
Quebec
With 80% of Agri-food exports destined for the United States,
Indonesia would make a strategic trading partner. Quebec
harvests $225 million in seafood exports attractive to Indonesian
consumers but would also attract consumers interested in
Chocolate, Soybeans, Snow crab, Lobster, and products from the
Bio-Science Industry.
New Brunswick
The Japanese are the largest consumers of this regions seafood
exports where, in combination of exports to Brazil and the United
Kingdom and the United States make up $1.2 billion in trade.
Specialties include Lobsters, Salmon,
Snow crab, Potatoes, Beer (especially those produced by microbreweries), and products from the Bio-Science Industry.
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia leads exports in fish and seafood products. Two of
Nova Scotias major export markets are New England in the United
States and the Caribbean and China is an emerging opportunity
for the provinces food industry. Products Indonesians would
love include Lobsters, Scallops, products from the Aquaculture
sector, Blueberries, Wine, and products from the Bio-Science
Industry.
Canadian Territories
Interestingly products from the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut could present a luxurious goods market for Indonesias
elite. In addition to mollusks, specialty exports to Indonesia could include whalebone and ivory, red meats from caribou, muskox and
other wild species.
RENEWABLE
ENERGY SECTOR
As a result of its volcanic geology, Indonesia has

40% of the worlds potential geothermal resources,
and geothermal energy is expected to become the
leading source of renewable energy generation in
the nations future. In partnership with Canadian
companies (which have a total market capitalization
of $770 million on the Toronto and Toronto Venture
Stock Exchanges) Indonesia can more rapidly
develop the national geothermal energy industry.
Renewable Energy Sector
Summary Background
Canada is a world leader in the development of renewable
energy. Our skills and technology are particularly strong in
areas of growing interest for Indonesia, namely hydroelectric,
geothermal, bio energy, and solar energy generation, and
hydrogen and fuel cell storage systems.
Canadian companies are considered to be global leaders in
hydro-power technology expertise and service provision. Canada
generates more than 12% of the worlds hydroelectricity, making
it the second-largest global producer after China. Canadian firms
invest billions of dollars annually into this expanding industry
and support tens of thousands of jobs in Canada.
Hydroelectricity:
Canadian companies enjoy over 100 years of experience
transforming abundant water resources into productive
power and are ready to support Indonesias hydroelectricity
development. With 475 hydro-power plants across Canada,
Canadian firms offer broad and established expertise in all
aspects of hydro-power technologies and services, including
international recognition for small-scale hydro facility
development, which is particularly applicable to Indonesia.
Interestingly, small-scale hydro contributes an estimated C$150
million to the Canadian economy and employs close to 2,000
workers nationwide. In the Indonesia context, these outcomes
would likely be multiplied many times over.
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells:
Canadian public and private sector organizations invested over
C$1 billion in the Canadian hydrogen and fuel cell sector between
2006 and 2010. The result? Today Canada is home to roughly
80% of global hydrogen and fuel cell facilities and Canadian
companies are empowered with the expert knowledge required
for Indonesia to take full advantage of its renewable resources via
these market-ready energy storage technologies. The journey has
already begun with Canadian produced fuel cells already being
used across Indonesia to provide power to communications
towers in remote regions.
Geothermal:
As a result of its volcanic geology, Indonesia has 40% of the
worlds potential geothermal resources, and geothermal energy
is expected to become the leading source of renewable energy
generation in the nations future. In partnership with Canadian
companies (which have a total market capitalization of $770
million on the Toronto and Toronto Venture Stock Exchanges)
Indonesia can more rapidly develop the national geothermal
energy industry.
Bio-energy:
With the encouragement from the Canadian government,
Canadian firms are ready to support Indonesia with unique
Canadian expertise across the bio-energy sector; from biomass
pyrolysis to waste-to-energy biomass gasification technologies.
Despite Canada and Indonesias different climates, Canadas vast
array of crops, trees, and industrial and municipal organic residue
shave provided Canadian bio-energy players the experience and
technologies to implement customized solutions which can help
to Indonesias increasing energy demands. Canadian expertise
is able to deliver solutions which include the processing various
feed stocks common in Indonesia such as solid waste palm oil,
palm oil effluent, solid waste from sugar cane, and municipal
solid waste.
Solar:
Solar technology has the potential to be another fast-growing
renewable energy sector in Indonesia. Canada has approximately
350 solar energy companies ready to support Indonesia to
help make rapid growth in this sector a reality. Canadian solar
manufacturing companies (which are expert at both solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal applications) are actively looking
at making investments in Indonesia, and are confident the
Indonesian market holds great potential to become a regional
manufacturing centre.

Indonesia can take a combination of the following critical steps
to expedite the development of infrastructure needed to support
renewable energy and spur sector growth:

Addressing Indonesias pricing regime for renewable energy

Developing financial incentives or other forms of accessible
financing as an alternative to a sovereign debt guarantee to
serve as capital for technologies that are new or emerging.
Reducing/eliminating subsidies for energy consumption
To take full advantage of solar power development in Indonesia,

and create a solar power market that will one day rival the
markets in other countries in the region Indonesia can focus on
the following areas:
Promote household buy-in of renewable energy based
resources
Develop training facilities which produce technical
personnel trained at installing and maintain solar cell
systems.
Implement interconnection standards that allow
consumers to sell excess electricity back to PLN, as is being
done successfully in many countries.

Ideas and
Input
to
support
Non-Bank
Financial
Services SECTOR
Canadian companies are well positioned to help

Indonesia develop a strong and vibrant insurance
sector which currently is one of the fastest growing and
most promising in South-east Asia due to both rapid
economic growth and a growing population that can
increasingly afford the service.
Non-Bank Financial
Services Sector
Summary Background
The Non-Bank Financial Services Sector (NBFI), composed of
insurance, asset management, pension and finance companies,
is regulated by the autonomous Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK),
an integrated regulatory body established in 2013 under Law
No.21 of 2011 to supervise the financial services sector, protect
customers, and create a sound environment for industry growth.
Since its inauguration the OJK has taken admirable strides.
The first regulation promulgated by OJK was POJK No. 1/
POJK.07/2013 regulating customer protection by financial service
companies. The regulation introduces a standardized regime
under which financial players must operate,covering everything
from standardized contracts to customer complaints handling.
The OJK continues to be guided by the National Financial
Literacy Strategy a blueprint which consists of three core
pillars: (1) National financial literacy campaign and education;
(2) Strengthening financial literacy infrastructure; and (3)
Development of financial products and services.
There are currently two Canadian NBFI Companies Operating in
Indonesia:
Manulife Indonesia
Manulife has operated in Indonesia since 1985. Through various
regulated entities, Manulife provides individual protection,
investment and savings accumulation solutions as well as group
employee benefits solutions (pensions, group savings, group life
& health, asset management services). The Company distributes
both conventional and takaful (syariah) products through
multiple distribution channels including agency, bank, direct
and telemarketing. Manulife Indonesia has over 1.9 million
customers supported by more than 12,000 employees and sales
representatives in 1,500 points of sales throughout Indonesia.
Sun Life Financial Indonesia
Sun Life has been in Indonesia for nearly 20 years and currently
operates through three entities, including through a joint venture
with CIMB Niaga, Indonesias 5th largest bank (by assets). They
employ over 400 employees and distribute their products
nationally through 8,000 agents, 100 insurance advisors and 300
telemarketers. The company had revenues of over IDR 2 trillion
and had over IDR 7 trillion in assets at year-end 2013.
Insurance
Canadian companies are well positioned to help Indonesia
develop a strong and vibrant insurance sector which currently is
one of the fastest growing and most promising in South-east Asia
due to both rapid economic growth and a growing population
that can increasingly afford the service.
The global insurance industry is knocking at Indonesias door as
they see the sector has averaged compound annual growth of
20% in gross written premiums and 26% in assets since 2007. It
was Canadian companies like Manulife who were operating in
Indonesia 30 years ago and working with Indonesia to develop
the industrys potential.
And there is much more opportunity for Indonesia to work
with Canadian companies as insurance penetration is still
limited at only 1.8% of the population, a much smaller share
of the population than other countries in the region. In fact, 43
million of the 53 million life insurance policy holders are through
corporate group plans. The nearly 10 million individual policy
holders represent more affluent Indonesians.

Create a Transparent OJK Fee
The methodology for determination and expenditure of the
mandatory yearly fees and levies paid by the financial services
companies overseen by the OJK needs to be clear with oversight
and accountability to ensure the OJK matures and develops
into a sustainable and productive organization. Canadian
organizations in partnership with industry are ready to engage in
discussions to support the development of a transparent OJK fee.
Refine OJK Operational Structure
To create greater industry synergy and improve the consultation
mechanism between OJK and the industry, especially during
formulation of regulations, is a critical developmental step.
OJK is actively reorganizing its internal divisions to drive
efficiency and effectiveness and an excellent measure would be
the development of clear standard operating procedures and
service standards.

Refine Risk Based Capital Valuation Methodology

To protect many industry players from the effect of rising interest
rates on their Risk Based Capital (RBC) ratios. Failure to do so
would yield inefficient capital utilization and potentially less
product choices for customers. The Risk Based Capital regime
(solvency requirement for insurance companies) should be
adjusted to ensure that liability valuation is more aligned to the
mark-to-market approach for assets. Canadian organizations
in partnership with the industry association (AAJI) are working
closely with the regulators and the accounting profession to
support the required changes.
Tax Department Administration
To ensure certainty and a foundation for positive growth, the
Tax office needs to develop a consistent application of tax
regulations related to the treatment of insurance companies
reserve deductibility.
Also, to maximize government synergies, the Tax office will
benefit by harmonizing its actions and processes with the OJK.
Canadian organizations working with industry partners under
the AAJI and with the support of PwC, have created a policy
paper which has been presented to the fiscal policy agency (BKF)
for further follow-up.
Develop Critical Skills in Actuary and Risk Management
A pillar for economic stability, growth, and the build-up of a stable
and trusted financial services sector lies in the development of
key human resources, especially when individual Indonesians,
particularly those with limited means, rely on health, life and
other insurance in times of crisis and need. By developing
programs that encourages the growth of Actuary and Risk
Management human resources, Indonesia is ensuring the long
term health of its economy.
Capacity building investments targeted in actuarial science and
risk management at this juncture in time will have a profound
impact on the future quality and rate of growth of the nations
financial system (life, general, banking, asset management)
with potentially hugely beneficial impact to Indonesian society.
There are several developmental programs being supported
by industry which could address this and Canada could play
an important role here. Such initiatives are totally aligned with
the ambition and direction of the OJK, as well as the broader
Government of Indonesias objectives of dramatically boosting
financial inclusion and growing the middle class.
Integrated Oversight of Financial Conglomerates
OJK should finish developing an integrated oversight mechanism
for the improvement of the financial services industry as
regulated in the OJK draft regulation on Integrated Oversight of
Financial Conglomerates. This draft regulation introduces the
concept of a financial conglomerates lead entity which will be
responsible to integrate risk management implementation in
the financial conglomerates. Such a regulatory development,
if supported by corporate law, could permit conglomerates to
better manage risk and to coordinate activities more efficiently.

2015 Policy Paper
Protect Freedom of Consumer Choice:

The Social Security Administration Body (BPJS) oversees a
mandatory health and employee benefit system whose primary
objective is to harmonize the disparate healthcare schemes and
vastly increase the number of Indonesians with access to basic
healthcare. During this important process the role of the private
sector in providing health and pension services needs to be
recognized and protected to ensure freedom of consumer choice.
Insurance Policyholder Protection Fund:
The establishment of a fund to protect Indonesian policyholders
in case their life insurance company fails will build public trust and
confidence in the Industry. To ensure equitable implementation
of such a fund it will need to be managed by a body similar to
the banking deposit insurance corporation (LPS) and require
heightened supervision and oversight to ensure standardized
treatment of all insurers.
Avoid Database Repatriation:
Databases held offshore allow companies to use off-shoring to
manage their global databases for efficiency or risk management
and can provide better services and security for Indonesian
customers.
Positive Role of Foreign Ownership:
Foreign ownership should be welcomed in Indonesia as the
industry continues to require foreign investment of capital and
should be an important consideration as the draft insurance law
may provide OJK greater authority to change foreign ownership
levels. While regulators have indicated any changes would take
place after consultation and be applied prospectively to new
companies and not existing companies, the impact on growth
and development need to be carefully considered.
FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act):
In order to ensure simplification of adoption and compliance
with this new U.S. Law for all financial services institutions
operating in Indonesia, we urge the Indonesian Government to
immediately sign an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with
the United States Treasury.
A prime example of Canadian excellence,

Manulife has provided 30 years of strong,
reliable, trustworthy and forward-thinking
products and services to its customers in
Indonesia and has demonstrated a deep
commitment to Indonesia through continued
investment and growth.
MINING SECTOR
Discussions with Canadian companies operating in Indonesia

reveal confidence and a strong will to overcome current
challenges, sharing a common understanding that the mining
sector will continue to play a strong role in supporting Indonesias
economic success and that Canadian companies, recognized for
being high quality, more trusted, more conservative, and lower
profile, are well suited as Indonesian partners.
Mining Sector

Summary Background
At the writing of this ICCC paper, the combination of steadily
falling commodity prices due to chronic oversupply and Chinas
growth cooling coupled with issues such as mounting resource
nationalism and a non-conducive regulatory environment see
mining companies across the globe enduring the fourth year of
a distressed market.
Even so, discussions with Canadian companies operating in
Indonesia reveal confidence and a strong will to overcome
the challenges, sharing a common understanding that the
mining sector will continue to play a strong role in supporting
Indonesias economic success (especially since mining provides
up to 40% of the GDP in some provinces) and that Canadian
companies, recognized for being high quality, more trusted, more
conservative, and lower profile, are well suited as Indonesian
partners.
Richard Ross, the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Inmet Mining Corporation (Inmet) and currently the Program
Director of the Schulich MBA specialization in Global Mining
Management, has said Canada has a long history of mining and
a depth of expertise that exists not only in the mining companies
but also in the banks, legal firms, and engineering and consulting
companies that service the sector. Former Goldcorp Inc.
Chairman Ian Telfer, a mining veteran said ...mining continues to
be a cornerstone of the Canadian economy. Mining companies
in Canada were the first in the world to develop and externallyverified performance system for sustainable mining practices.
Under the Jokowi-Kalla pro-economy leadership both local
and international mining companies anticipate pragmatic
development of mining industry regulations and policies to bring
a new energy into the industry. On October 15, 2014, Indonesia
was accepted as a full and compliant member of the Extractive
Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), demonstrating to the
world that Indonesia, a country with a large and complex natural
resource sector, can be transparent about its resource revenues.
Indonesia is now well positioned to make use of its EITI to embed
transparency into its government systems and to ensure that
natural resources benefits its citizens.
There are exciting times ahead and in full partnership with

Indonesia, Canadian companies look forward to realizing Article
33 (3) of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution, which reads The
land, the waters and the natural resources within shall be under
the powers of the State and shall be used to the greatest benefit
of the people.
Canadas Value Proposition
Major Canadian miners have spent many years running highly
successful operations in Indonesia and there are many more
mining sector based Canadian companies looking to invest.
Canadian companies are ready to support Indonesia with
innovative technologies and approaches useful in assisting
the mining industry including Canadian mining contractors
proficiency in everything from sinking a shaft, completing
underground development or mucking ore. Canadian companies
offer leading edge products to assist in the extractive sector
which help cut costs, reduce environmental degradation, and
increase efficiency.
Even in the area of transport CSL Asia Shipping Pte Ltd (CSL
Asia) is well-positioned to provide highly effective bulk cargo
shipping and handling services to support sustainable growth in
Indonesias mining sector.
Established in Indonesia since 1994, CSL Asia, a division of The
CSL Group of Montreal, Canada, operates and manages highcapacity transshipment platforms in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
With transshipment rates in excess of 2,000 tonnes per hour,
CSLs transshippers allow mining companies to overcome draft
restrictions and load both Panamax and Capesize vessels. Along
with providing customised transshipment services, CSL Asia also
delivers dry bulk shipping solutions with self-unloading vessels.
These vessels operate on shorter trade routes where the fast
discharge rates of self-unloaders have a significant impact on
cycle time, and where the inherent lower dust emissions from
self-unloaders are important for importers.

Mining Sector

Yearly production for most of Indonesias mineral products has
been increasing and Indonesia is in the top ranks globally for
many of its mining products but only received 1.8% of global
exploration investment in 2011. In order to fully benefit from the
Indonesian mining sector the government can foster a robust
investment climate by focusing on key mineral policies.
Mining exploration itself poses many investment risks and
companies are looking to balance natural business risk with
certainty in key areas including stability in tax systems, rules and
regulations. Feedback from Canadian companies supports the
Indonesian government focusing on key areas:
1) Ensuring Coordination and Clarity in the Regulatory
Environment & Mineral Policies
Key strengths can be obtained by creating strong coordination
and process clarity both at the national level, between the
different ministries and government departments dealing with
mining, and at the local level in the working relationship between
the central and regional governments. One way Canada can
support is to share information on knowledge management and
how Canada uses the internet to disseminate information, which
is aligned to the Government of Indonesias focus on e-commerce
and e-procurement.
2) Development of a Better Business Bureau for the mining
sector
Canadian companies seeking to invest in Indonesia need to find
good domestic partners. A reliable and trustworthy system like
the Better Business Bureau for mining will make it easier to find
good local partners. The ICCC can support the government start
to develop such a database to help set up partnerships with good
local partners.
3) Ensure Consistency Across Multiple Government Entities
Through the development of clear straightforward criteria,
consistent across different governments(federal, provincial and
district), the government will be expediting the start-up of mining
projects in Indonesia.
4) Ease Permit Process
Easing the permit process for mining developments in Indonesia,
which require hundreds of permits, each with a unique validity
period and permit requirements by eliminating conflicting
requirements and providing clear interpretation of processes
between government agencies and government levels.
5) Infrastructure Development
Developing infrastructure to rural areas will decrease capital
costs for mining projects, shorten development schedules bring
faster returns to Indonesia and increasing investor interest.

While infrastructure development is clearly on the government of

Indonesias agenda we repeat the importance in this document
because of the frequency of infrastructure being mentioned in our
discussions especially considering most mining developments in
Indonesia occur in remote regions with minimal infrastructure.
6) Land Acquisition
The Indonesian government has just begun to implement the
laws on Eminent Domain (Pengadaan Tanah) and Canada has
the experience and the lessons learned to support a fair and
equitable transaction between landowners and the government.
7) Development of Easy to Access Geological Information
Database
Access to adequate geological information, mapping and related
resources will support efficiency and expediency for mining
companies during the exploration process.
8) Government program to develop local talent
A long-term government education program to foster talent in
the mining industry will make it easy for mining companies to
find well trained local human resources. Most mining companies
have a commitment to hiring locally and providing a pool of
potential candidates will ensure companies meet and exceed
their commitment for hiring local talent. Canadians are well
versed in similar educational programs and Canada in fact has
the only MBA in mining at the Schulich School of Business at York
University, which offers an MBA specialization in Global Mining
Management.

CONCLUSION
Canadian Companies are Well Suited to Support

Indonesias Growth
Canadian companies are recognized for their long-term
investment strategies and for building strong business and
social linkages in Indonesia. Transfer of knowledge is also a
key aspect of most Canadian business strategies which fits well
with Indonesias expectations for foreign investment to improve
Indonesias capabilities.
Canadian companies have, over the years, benefited from foreign
investment into Canada. A number of sectors have increased
their productivity and capabilities through the introduction of
technology introduced by foreign investors, which in turn leads to
the development of next generation services and technologies in
Canada. Canadian companies are ready to bring these emerging
technologies and innovations to Indonesia to enable strategic
sectors to move up the value chain.
Potential sectors of increased engagement including mining, oil
and gas, financial services, and infrastructure. Canadian mining
technology for exploration, development and production are
leading edge and over half of the worlds mining firms are listed
on Canadian stock exchanges. Canada is a net exporter of oil and
gas, and has developed unique tools and methods for finding
and extracting both energy sources. Another Canadian strength
is its Financial Services sector, demonstrated during the 2008
Great Recession when Canadian banks and insurers came
to the worlds attention due to their strength and consistency.
This year, for the sixth year in a row, the World Economic Forum
rated Canadas banking system as the Worlds soundest. The
Transportation sector in Canada is also a sector with strong
capabilities, driven by the countrys need to connect a widely
scattered population over a vast land mass. Canada offers worldclass technology for both physical infrastructure such as roads,
ports and airports, and also communication technology and
energy generation.
The ICCC leadership has met with Canadian companies operating
in Indonesia and also with Canadian companies who are
exploring business opportunities in Indonesia and asked how
they as experienced investors, could support the growth of
priority sectors in Indonesia, and what Indonesia could do to
ensure full benefits of this interest are realized. Their responses,
which are presented in the following chapters in this document,
cover five priority sectors, and provide senior government leaders
with suggestions and ideas which have the potential to enable
several billion dollars of new Canada-Indonesia partnership
opportunities.
Canada welcomes investment from Indonesia

Just as Indonesia benefits from Canadian investments, Canada
is also benefiting from Indonesian investments. A subsidiary
of the Sinar Mas group, Paper Excellence, owns and operates
six pulp and paper mills in three Canadian provinces. This
investment has had a very positive impact on Canada, including
the creation of over 2,000 jobs. Another Indonesian firm, Pacific
Oil & Gas, has invested $25 million in the development of a micro
LNG processing and export facility. The firms total investment is
expected to reach $2.5 billion and create many new jobs.
Canadian government policy actively encourages foreign
investment in Canada. Before Canada entered a foreign
investment renaissance many restrictions were placed on
foreign investment and investors, with each investment
carefully reviewed by a government agency. Today, Canada
places emphasis on who benefits rather than who owns, and the
country has consequently become a desirable destination for
international investors. This has resulted in a sustained increase
in economic diversity and stability and job growth for Canadians.
The ICCC hopes that the Indonesia- Canada economic partnership
can continue to generate mutual benefits and to grow stronger in
the years to come. It is with this positive spirit that we would
like to share with you the capabilities, interests, and constructive
inputs of our private sector in the chapters that follow.
Canada partners with Indonesia on economic

development
Indonesia is a country of focus for the Government of Canadas
international development efforts. Canada supports the
Government of Indonesia in a number of development priorities
in its National Medium-Term Development Plan 2010-2014 as
well as the Master Plan for Economic Development (2011-2025).
Canadas development objective for Indonesia is to improve
sustainable economic prosperity for poor women and men,
through building economic foundations, investing in people, and
advancing democracy. Canadas portfolio of a dozen ongoing
projects concentrates on addressing transparency in public
financial management, natural resource management, and on
building a better-trained workforce. Results from programming
at the local level are being integrated into national level best
practices in health service standards, gender-based budgeting
and watershed management. Canada also maintains a highly
effective program supporting pluralism and religious tolerance
in Indonesia.

Spotlight
Three Canadian Development Projects in Indonesia:
P3 FRAMEWORK: At APEC 2013, Canada committed 5 million CAD to a Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Centre for infrastructure
in Indonesia, and an APEC PPP Expert Advisory Panel. Drawing on Canadas lengthy experience with PPPs, this initiative establishes
the institutional architecture, including legal and regulatory frameworks, tools, and coordination mechanisms, to spur infrastructure
development and financing in Indonesia.
NATURAL RESOURCE ACCOUNTABILITY: Canada is a leading donor to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) which
seeks to increase transparency in the oil and gas, and mining sectors through the implementation of standards related to the publication
and verification of company tax and royalty payments along with government revenues. Indonesia became compliant on October 15,
2014. Of note, Canadas funding has supported Indonesia to achieve compliance and will continue to support Indonesia to ensure the
sustainability of the EITI process and expand outreach activities.
INVESTING IN SMES: The Conference Board of Canada is starting a five-year 12 million CAD initiative called Trade and Private Sector
Assistance project(TPSA) to facilitate and enhance trade and investment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia,
including those owned and operated by women. The project will address key regulatory constraints, develop tools to enable greater
market access, distribute market research, and facilitate exchanges of business people.

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND THE WAY FORWARD
The economic strengths of Canada and Indonesia will continue to change as our respective economies develop and evolve. Our
common goals are to maximize efficiency and productivity at each stage of this development. And while the process of continuous
improvement will carry on long into the future, a constant thread that connects us is the value our two countries place on mutual
respect, friendship and knowledge sharing.
In the Key Findings section of this publication, similarities between Canada and Indonesia were highlighted. Our two countries are
almost the same breadth from West to East, with Canada having the worlds longest coastline and Indonesia having the worlds
second longest coastline. Our two countries consequently face similar natural resource and infrastructure development challenges,
and Canada is sharing solutions to these challenges. Our trade relationship is growing at 15% to 20% per year. Investments are also
growing, including recent interest in large investments into Canada by Indonesian firms, investments that are welcomed by Canada.
A significant number of Canadian firms are already present in the Indonesian market, creating jobs and adding value, and there is a
clear potential for further growth in bilateral trade and investment in the years to come.
Canadian firms have considerable experience in Oil and Gas project development and supporting services, both at home in Canada
as well as around the world. The Oil and Gas Sector section of the publication shared a number of ideas, based on this experience,
for improving the investment attractiveness of the sector which in turn would help Indonesia meet its energy availability targets.
In addition to enhanced oil recovery and unconventional gas development, proposed enhancements that would help attract more
investment include ideas for strengthening inter-departmental coordination, streamlining licensing and permitting, offering more
favourable terms for high-risk high-cost areas, and improving legal clarity and consistency for production sharing contracts.
Canada also possesses technical and financial capabilities in the Renewable Energy sector, and has a private sector that is interested
in engaging with Indonesia to support Indonesias objective to significantly grow the generation of renewable energy to more than
20% by 2025.
Infrastructure development has supported the advancement of Canadas economy, and Canadian expertise is ready to work handin-hand with the Government of Indonesia to support the implementation of viable public-private partnership approaches to
infrastructure development. Power Generation, Airport Development and Water/Waste Water projects were presented as examples
of Canadian capabilities and interests that match well with Indonesias interests. PPP approaches for infrastructure development
are proven ways to leverage private sector funds, which in turn can free up government resources for other priority needs such as
education and health care. Ideas were presented on ways to improve the PPP regulatory environment, and further support in this
area will be provided by a Canadian Government funded initiative.
In the Agriculture Sector, Canadian milk and dairy products are one example of an emerging opportunity to bring Canadian investment
and expertise to Indonesia which will support Indonesias national food security objectives and enhance the national capability to
serve regional markets.
Canadian companies have been developing and will be continuing to invest in developing a strong and vibrant insurance sector in the
country, and have shared some ideas in the Non-Bank Financial Services Sector section of this publication on how Indonesia might
further enhance the growth and development of this sector.
Canada and Indonesia, by virtue of our vast country sizes and geology, represent both challenges and opportunities for the
development of the minerals and metals industries through sustainable mining activities. The Mining Services sector section of this
publication has outlined some of the policy options that the government could consider to ensure the sustainable development of
these resources in economically viable ways.
Growing the Canada-Indonesia relationship greatly benefits both countries. This publication has been prepared with the hope and
expectation that the Canadian capabilities outlined here will be of interest to members of the Indonesian private sector who are
seeking partners, and that the constructive policy suggestions for enhancing sustainable growth will be of interest to the Jokowi-Kalla
government. The ICCC would like this publication to be the beginning of a process that stimulates discussion, supports constructive
action, and ultimately enhances the Indonesia-Canada private sector relationship for the mutual benefit of both public and private
stakeholders.
Indonesia and Canada have cooperated closely since the initiation of relations in 1953. On the basis of mutual respect and benefit,
our relations have remained strong. We hope that this publication has helped to increase the awareness of Canadas potential as a
growing long-term economic partner of Indonesia. Indonesia and Canada are two great countries with excellent prospects for an even
greater economic relationship. The ICCC stands ready to build on our existing solid relationship and to work for the shared prosperity
of the people of both countries.
