Core Viewpoint - Indonesia's President Prabowo emphasizes the need for an independent economic system in response to the US imposing tariffs of up to 32% on Indonesian goods, opting for diplomatic solutions rather than retaliatory tariffs [2][10]. Group 1: Government Response Strategy - Indonesia plans to hold a meeting with ASEAN leaders on April 10 to discuss a unified stance on the tariff issue [5]. - The government aims to enhance cooperation with the US through four main strategies: revamping the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), reducing non-tariff barriers, increasing imports of US products, and implementing incentive policies to boost export competitiveness [7][8]. Group 2: Economic Impact Assessment - The economic impact of the US tariffs on Indonesia is considered limited, with exports constituting only 23.8% of GDP and exports to the US making up 10% of total exports [10]. - Despite the challenges, Indonesia retains a relative advantage over other exporting countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh, particularly in sectors such as electronics, clothing, and footwear [11]. Group 3: Market Opportunities - The government sees potential in labor-intensive industries like textiles and footwear to explore new market opportunities in the US, leveraging lower tariff burdens compared to other Southeast Asian nations [13]. - The focus on finding new markets and adjusting industrial structures is expected to enhance foreign exchange income for the country [13].
