Indonesia

Infrastructure procurement: To accelerate economic growth, infrastructure investment is highlighted as a priority in Indonesia’s National Medium‐Term Development Plan (RPJMN 2015–2019), National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN 2002-2025) and Masterplan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development Plan (MP3EI 2011–2025).

The MP3EI sets targets for infrastructure funding and envisages a high degree of cooperation among central government, local governments, state owned enterprises and the private sector. The RPJMN estimates financing requirements of IDR 5300 trillion, of which 44% would be financed through national and local authorities, 22% from state-owned enterprises and the remaining 22% through private sector investments.

PPP projects: Despite the existence of a complete PPP framework, very few projects have so far reached completion. Until recently, PPPs were only a feature in the toll roads sector. Recent reforms have created enabling conditions for PPPs, with the establishment of an APEC Pilot PPP Centre in Indonesia (2013) aiming to improve the situation.

Overview of Public Interventions
Subsidies & Guarantees
Infrastructure Tax Incentives	The government offers incentives in the Income Tax Law to encourage investments in certain qualifying business sectors and regions. The main incentives are: • Investment allowance of 30% • Accelerated depreciation of fixed assets which is twice as fast as the normal rate • Tax loss carried forward a period of ten years instead of five • Reduction of tax withholding on dividends paid to foreign shareholders, from 20% to 10% • Income tax exemption for five to ten years and a 50% income tax reduction for two further years for eligible companies active in 'pioneer' industries which introduce new technologies and/or have high externalities and provide additional value for the national economy.
Revenue Guarantees	Availability Payment is a scheme operated by the Ministry of Finance to reduce demand risks in PPPs.
Guarantees	Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund (IIGF) The IIGF (in Indonesian: PT Penjaminan Infrastruktur Indonesia) was established in 2009 by the Government of Indonesia with support from the World Bank, with the aim to increase private participation in infrastructure provision by reducing political risks. IIGF acts as a single window for evaluating projects that seek government guarantees covering the private sector against contractual risks relating to government (in)action. Thanks to IIGF's BBB- rating (Fitch), guarantees can lead to credit enhancement and an improved access to financing. The fund covers political risks on the sub-sovereign level and provides direct technical assistance to local contract agencies. Guarantees transfer risks to the government in each PPP contract. Eligible forms of investment range from loans and mezzanine financing to equity. The political risks covered by IIGF include: • Currency inconvertibility and transfer • Expropriation and repossession • Force majeure • Unfair changes in the law • Non-honouring of financial obligations • Delays in the processing of permits and licenses • Changes of rules and regulations • Lack of tariff adjustment • Failure to connect the facility to the network/facilities Contact: Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund (IIGF) Sampoerna Strategic Square, North Tower, 14th Floor Jl.
