Indonesia Country Partnership Framework (CPF) FY16 - FY20 Summary

Core Content

The Indonesia Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for the period FY16–FY20 outlines the World Bank Group (WBG) strategy to support Indonesia's development goals in alignment with the government's vision. The CPF builds on the previous Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) FY13–15 and the long-term support from the WBG, emphasizing selectivity, impact, and sustainability.

Main Points

1. Country Context and Development Agenda

• Political and Social Context:

  • Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, the tenth largest in the world by PPP, and the only G-20 member from the region.
  • The country is a stable democracy with a population of 250 million spread across 6000 inhabited islands.
  • The government under President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is focused on transitioning from a commodity-driven economy to one based on productive sectors and services.
  • Indonesia is highly decentralized, with elected local governments at the provincial, district, and village levels.

• Growth, Poverty, and Shared Prosperity:

  • Indonesia experienced strong growth (around 6% annually) up to 2015, driven by commodity prices and private consumption.
  • The poverty rate has more than halved from 24% in 1997 to 11% by 2014.
  • However, poverty reduction has stalled, with near-zero decline in 2014.
  • Inequality has risen significantly, with the Gini coefficient increasing from 30 to 42 between 2003 and 2010.
  • The country faces challenges in infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and improving access to essential services for the poor and vulnerable.

2. Proposed WBG Partnership Framework

• The CPF is guided by the twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity.

• It is structured around six engagement areas and two supporting beams:

  • Engagement Areas:
    • Infrastructure Platforms at the National Level
    • Maritime Economy and Connectivity
    • Delivery of Local Services and Infrastructure
    • Sustainable Landscape Management
    • Collecting More and Spending Better
    • Sustainable Energy and Access
  • Supporting Beams:
    • Leveraging the Private Sector: Focus on investment, business climate, and market functioning.
    • Shared Prosperity, Equality, and Inclusion: Emphasis on social protection and addressing inequality of opportunity.

• The CPF aims to maximize synergies across the WBG and use all available instruments to support development, including technical assistance, policy reform, and financial instruments from IBRD, IFC, and MIGA.

3. Implementation and Risk Management

• The CPF will focus on selectivity by prioritizing consistent public policy reforms and creating an enabling environment for the private sector.

• Key risks include:

  • Political economy and governance challenges
  • Macroeconomic uncertainty
  • Implementation and capacity constraints

• To mitigate these risks, the CPF emphasizes sequencing of interventions, adjustments during implementation, and fiscal and monetary policy coordination.

• Fiscal and Monetary Adjustments:

  • Indonesia has experienced a significant decline in commodity prices, which has led to a current account deficit and increased fiscal pressures.
  • The government has taken steps to reduce energy subsidies and increase fuel prices, which has helped stabilize the economy.
  • Bank Indonesia has maintained a flexible exchange rate and tightened monetary policy to manage inflation and stabilize the currency.

4. Expected Outcomes and Financing

• The CPF is expected to require a larger financing package than the previous CPS, with an indicative amount of US$7.5 billion in IBRD lending, US$3 billion in IFC engagements, and an active MIGA program.
• The goal is to exceed the $16.5 billion threshold to avoid a surcharge on incremental exposure.
• The Single Borrower Limit (SBL) of US$19 billion may be reached by the end of the CPF period, requiring the government and WBG to review the situation midway and consider alternative financing mechanisms if needed.

Key Information

• Poverty: 11.3% of the population (28 million people) is poor.
• Inequality: The Gini coefficient has increased from 30 to 42, indicating rising inequality.
• Economic Transition: Indonesia needs to shift from a commodity-based economy to one driven by productive sectors and services.
• Infrastructure Gap: A major focus of the CPF is addressing the country's infrastructure needs, especially in urban areas and for the poor.
• Private Sector Engagement: The CPF emphasizes creating a more enabling environment for the private sector to drive growth and job creation.
• Subnational Focus: A dedicated engagement area focuses on local service delivery in health and education.
• Environmental Challenges: Rapid deforestation and land degradation are significant concerns, especially for the poor.

Conclusion

The CPF represents a strategic shift towards more targeted and impactful support for Indonesia, focusing on infrastructure, private sector development, and sustainable growth. It also emphasizes governance, accountability, and financial management to ensure long-term development outcomes. The framework is designed to address the demographic dividend, economic transition, and inequality challenges, while working within the constraints of fiscal and macroeconomic stability.
