2 Operating in a decentralizing Indonesia What will happen, what can we do

3 Operating in a decentralizing Indonesia zFeatures of Indonesia’s decentralization zThe New Business Environment zQuestions for the Bank zWhat’s Next?

4 Indonesia’s decentralization zThe current legal framework (Laws 22 and 25 of 1999) will give Indonesia substantial decentralization. zThe districts/cities will manage most of the Government services we care about, including health, education, and infrastructure zThe Government has decided for a “Big Bang” implementation in 2001

5 Indonesia’s decentralization zRegional governments will spend about 40-45 percent of total (8-9 percent of GDP) zCentral government will mainly spend on: yInterest payments (6 percent of GDP) ySubsidies (2-3 percent of GDP) yCentral civil service (1.5 percent of GDP) zExact division not yet known

6 Regional Finance yAlokasie Umum (>25 percent of revenues, 3.5 percent of GDP) yAlokasie khusus (unknown) yRevenue sharing (oil, gas, forestry, fishery, mining, 1.2 percent of GDP) yOwn revenues (1 percent of GDP) yBorrowing

7 Alokasie Umum z90 percent to District/City; 10 to Province zDistribution per formula zGrant=f(Needs-/-Revenue capacity)*a yNeeds=g(population, area, #poor, east) yRevenue=h(regional GDP) ya=adjustment factor, to ensure at least FY00 allocation

8 Alokasie Khusus & Borrowing zDistribution Umum-Khusus unknown zLine Ministries determine factors for Khusus zApproval control of foreign borrowing zFormula-control of total borrowing yTotal debt yDebt service

9 Risks zDebate on level of autonomy not settled zMacro-economic neutrality not guaranteed zPolitical accountability in regions shaky yMany appointed bupati’s & governors yInexperienced DPR yNo local tax rate control yweak links to service users zBig Bang will be messy

10 Opportunities zBetter tailored service delivery zExperimentation zCompetition zParticipation zUsing diversity of regions zChallenge:How to minimize risk, maximize benefits

15 What products? zLending or knowledge? zProjects or Programs? zIBRD or IDA?

16 What level of Government zThe district has most of the money zThe district responsible for most of the services zThe district is small yspill-overs ysmall operations/high costs zThe district has little planning/design capacity (for now) zThe Bank could catalyze the right level of cooperation
