Excerpt from the Book
2.1 Exports
Indonesia’s geographic location is very appropriate for the expansion of trade. Exports have been one of the main drivers of growth. The country possesses rich reserves as of crude oil, gas, coal, copper, palm oil, gold and silver. Recently, Indonesia has become second largest producer of palm oil in the world. Due to boomed demand, government recently doubled the tax on palm oil exports. This enables to receive higher tax revenues which can be allocated to other areas in order to sustain growth.
As it is demonstrated in graph below, Indonesian exports are well diversified into different sectors. This case allows Indonesia to be able to be flexible in terms of offsetting the declines in exports of one specific sector with increasing the exports amount in another sector.
Indonesia took the advantage of its oil reserves to induce economic growth and then the yield has been transferred to diversify into manufacturing sector. Manufacturing industry contributed to GDP by 3.5 percent in 2003.
