| Indonesia: Fear of cheap imports |
| 04/02/2010 - 16:13 |
The Indonesian Furniture Producers Association has
welcomed the government's reaction to its request for
consideration to be given to delaying the full
implementation of the FTA with China amid fears that
hundreds of thousands of Indonesian workers in the wood
processing sector could lose their jobs.
According to the Association, cheap furniture imports
from China could overwhelm local manufacturers. They
quote an example where a computer table made locally
from particleboard sells for about US$65 while an
imported Chinese made table of similar material could sell for about US$45. The Association added that the FTA
between ASEAN and China could result in huge job losses
at major Indonesian furniture manufacturers.
Debt for nature
The US embassy in Jakarta announced the official start of
negotiations between the US and Indonesia for the second
debt-for-nature agreement under the US Tropical Forest
Conservation Act (TFCA) which finances tropical forest
conservation.
According to a US Embassy press release, the TFCA
authorises the reduction, as well as, the re-scheduling of
certain foreign debts to support tropical forest
conservation in eligible development countries, such as
Indonesia.
The US Treasury Department has allocated a provision of
over US$19 million for the realignment of eligible foreign
debts. The first TFCA agreement between the US and
Indonesia was, signed on June 30, 2009. It reduced
Indonesia’s debt payments to the US by nearly US$30
million over an eight year period.
The agreement was the largest debt-for-nature swap under
the TFCA, made possible both through the contributions
of US$20 million by the US federal government and a
US$2 million by Conservation International and the
Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (KEHATI).
Up to 13 countries have reportedly entered into a debt-fornature
agreement under the TFCA with the US to date.
