Overview<\/h3>\n

June 18 brought a new record high of recorded cases as the pandemic spreads to the farthest reaches of Indonesia.\u00a0\u00a0 Infections have plateaued in many regions but are rising in East and Central Java, North Sumatra, Maluku, South Kalimantan, Bali, and North Sulawesi.\u00a0\u00a0 Cases number are doubling every 10 days, whereas, during the height of the infection in the US and Europe, this occurred sometimes in just days.\u00a0 11 provinces reported no new COVID-19 cases as of Monday (6\/22):\u00a0 Aceh, Bangka Belitung, Bengkulu, Yogyakarta, Jambi, West Kalimantan, West Sumatera, Lampung, West Papua, West Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara.<\/p>\n

Trends in Jakarta and West Java are now moderate and large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) are being relaxed.\u00a0 Traffic jams have returned to Jakarta for the first time since March. DKI Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan suggested that the pandemic situation is under control. As in the US and other countries, authorities are hoping against and preparing for future spikes or second waves. \u00a0\u00a0Some hotels have reopened but many remained shuttered awaiting the confidence of their guests.<\/p>\n

Travel<\/h3>\n

Tourist travel to Indonesia remains closed but foreign diplomatic\/health\/ business\/technical people in essential occupations and national strategic projects can get visas which require PCR testing.\u00a0 Several reports and Ministry statements suggest Oct 1 is the target date for reopening, however, agents and operators are pushing for a limited reopening prior to that date. \u00a0Valid work permit holders (KITAS\/KITAP) can still gain entry. Entrees may be subject to a 14-day quarantine at designated hotels. \u00a0The US State Department continues its Travel 4 \u2013 Do Not Enter Travel Health Advisory- and has begun its phased re-opening of passport processing centers.\u00a0 Click Here<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n

Trade & Economy<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Bank Indonesia cut its prime rate 25 basis points to 4.25% to stimulate economic growth.<\/li>\n
  • BI\u2019s Governor, Perry Warjiyo, stated that Indonesia’s economic growth in the second quarter of 2020 will be worse than the first quarter of 2.97 percent. This is in line with Indonesian Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani\u2019s recent projection that suggested negative economic growth in the second quarter. Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs, Luhut Pandjaitan, however, suggested that Indonesia\u2019s economic situation is still far better than other developing countries.<\/li>\n
  • Indonesian Minister of Trade Agus Suparmanto reopened the export window for medical personal protective equipment and masks now that there is a local surplus. Ministerial Regulation No. 57\/2020 allows manufacturers to export surgical and masks, coveralls, surgical gowns and raw material to make face masks, thereby annulling the previous ban that had been imposed to ensure domestic supplies during the pandemic.<\/li>\n
  • The Ministry of Finance calculates several million dollars has been saved in annual government budgets by holding domestic and international meetings remotely and would like to maintain the practice in the future. Deputy Minister of Finance, Suahasil Nazara, on Monday said, \u201cYou can imagine how much spending can be saved. We would like to ensure that the new culture can be maintained after this.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
