Labour export from Indonesia: an overview

Article Abstract:

The Indonesian government emphasizes labor export in its economic planning. The main issues of concern relate to the increasing trend of illegal migration to Malaysia and the problems faced by migrant women who are domestic helpers in Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. The role of recruiters in labor export is also raising concern. The government plans to open training institutes to raise the skill of labor exported, but the decision to reduce the export of unskilled workers may result in the loss of skilled workers, thereby affecting the economic and social development of the country.

Financial liberalization in Indonesia: interest rates, money market instruments, and bank supervision

Article Abstract:

Indonesia's key to fast economic growth may lie in its policies regarding financial liberalization. Financial liberalization has already encouraged financial deepening, increased the availability of credit, made market operation more effective and stimulated growth in private banking since it was first implemented in 1983. The role of positive interest rates in increasing savings and credit availability is also demonstrated through the cointegration method. It is suggested that the success of financial liberalization can be hampered by moral hazard and poor banking regulations.
