The BA.2 subvariance, which is 33 percent more infectious than the original Omicron variant, has now been detected in 57 countries. With the discovery of this variant in Indonesia, the risk of a spike in Covid-19 cases could be even higher.

The weekly epidemiological report from the World Health Organization (WHO) said the highly contagious subvariant of Omicron, BA.2, has now been detected in 57 countries. This subvariant has also accounted for more than half of the Omicron cases analyzed for genome sequences. Epidemiologist and WHO Chief Technical Officer Maria Van Kerkhove said at a press conference, preliminary data showed BA.2 had a slight increase in growth rate compared to BA.1, the first version of the Omicron variant. "There is no indication that there is a change in severity in the BA..2 sub-variant," he said. The highly contagious Omicron is generally known to cause less severe disease compared to earlier variants such as Delta. However, data in a number of countries also shows an increase in cases followed by the total number of fatalities. In fact, a number of countries, such as Australia, have experienced the highest number of deaths due to Covid-19. Griffith University epidemiologist, Dicky Budiman, said that with the discovery of the BA.2 subvariant, Indonesia must be aware of the spike in Covid-19 cases faster than previously thought. "There must be a faster response so that it is not too late in anticipating a spike in cases," he said.

The government was asked to re-implement the ban on coal exports, as an effort to maintain the stability of coal supply for PLN, as well as the process of increasing the supervision of mining operations.

Member of Commission VII DPR Mulyanto said the ban was imposed on all coal entrepreneurs who have not fulfilled the obligation to deposit coal production quotas for domestic needs (DMO). According to him, coal export discretion is only given to entrepreneurs who comply with government regulations. “Rogue businessmen deserve to be punished for not being able to export their coal production. This is important, so that in the future our electrical energy security can be maintained and PLN will have a stable supply of coal,” said Mulyanto, Mulyanto urging the government to impose strict sanctions for rogue entrepreneurs who do not fulfill the DMO obligations. "As long as the government is not firm, don't expect the DMO rules to be implemented consistently. As a result, domestic coal reserves are unstable," he said.

The reason is, this forum will bring together business leaders of multinational companies, organizations and the business community from all G20 member countries who will provide formulations and input on economic recovery during the pandemic.

This was stated by the General Chair of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Arsjad Rasjid who is also in charge of the B20 Presidency, in Jakarta. According to him, the 2022 Indonesia B20 Forum takes the theme of Innovative Progress, Inclusiveness and Collaborative Growth in line with the G20. The goal is to lead to a stronger and more sustainable recovery stimulus for all countries, through a joint forum with the international business community that will recommend policy papers. “Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry hopes that this forum will produce ideas that can be actualized into regulations and concrete investments. Of course, to achieve that, the business community or entrepreneurs need to work together with the public (government) in realizing large-scale investment projects to have a big positive impact on society and the country," concluded Arsjad. Marking the formal and public start of the B20 Indonesia Summit 2022, the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) as the organizer will hold a preliminary meeting or B20 Inception Meeting with all delegates of G20 members in Jakarta, 27-28 January 2022.

Executive Director of the Association of Indonesian Vegetable Oil Industries (GIMNI) Sahat Sinaga stated that the businessmen had actually communicated with the KPPU regarding the reason for the increase in cooking oil prices on January 18 last.

According to him, GIMNI has followed the price reference set by the tender for PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) through its subsidiary PT Kharisma Marketing Bersama Nusantara (KPBN). The KPBN reference tender is used because the company is considered a neutral party that does not do business in the downstream sector and is a state-owned company. Therefore, he claims that entrepreneurs do not have the ability to regulate the price of cooking oil. "GIMNI has already provided an illustration of who makes up the domestic palm oil price. So, all domestic companies whose palm prices always adhere to the tender conducted by PT KPBN," he told CNNIndonesia.com, Friday (21/1). He gave an example as of today, Friday (21/1), KPB in Dumai, Riau, set the CPO auction price at the level of Rp. 15,200 per kilogram. With the benchmark price of CPO above the HET of cooking oil, it is not surprising that the price of cooking oil in the community has soared. "Now, try asking PTPN whether they want to sell for Rp. 11 thousand? The world market price is Rp. 15 thousand, the price is lowered for domestic use, right, they don't want to make a profit, right," said Sahat. Even though Indonesia is the largest producer of CPO, the fact is that Indonesia is a price leader. Of Indonesia's total production, only 35 percent can be absorbed by domestic consumption. Since the majority of production is still exported to international markets, he said that even the benchmark price inevitably follows foreign markets, such as the Rotterdam reference. Sahat also questioned the reason behind KPPU's hype when CPO prices soared. The reason is, he assessed that when the price of CPO was falling and oil palm farmers screamed, no intervention was carried out.

The government needs to increase export levies for crude palm oil (CPO) products which are the raw material for cooking oil. Currently, the rate of levy or progressive tax is only limited to US$175 per ton.

This refers to the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) 76/2021 which provides a range of export levies between US$55 and US$175 per tonne. The tariff of US$175 per tonne refers to the provision that the CPO price reaches US$1,000 per tonne, after previously increasing it gradually to US$20 per tonne for CPO price increases of US$50 per tonne. With the current CPO price in the range of US$1,200 to US$1,250 per tonne, there is potential for an increase in levies of up to US$100 per tonne. This means that if there is no limit to the price calculation using US$1,000 per tonne, the CPO export levy could reach US$255 to US$275 per ton

The Directorate General of Mineral and Coal of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has granted permits or lifted the coal export ban for 139 companies that have fulfilled 100% of the domestic market obligation (DMO).

Director General of Mineral and Coal Ridwan Djamaluddin said the government's reason for banning coal exports as of January 1, 2022 was to meet PLN's critical coal needs. Namely, there are 17 PLTUs located in a number of areas with a capacity of 10 GW which have the potential to stop operating with a total of 10 million customers. This export ban is not only to secure coal supply, but also to secure ships and barges for domestic purposes. Ridwan said, usually if there is a sale abroad, of course the ship will be operated for export activities. "We have closed everything so that there are no exceptions. If there are exceptions, it will be difficult for us to control these exceptions. Again, this export ban is temporary and emergency management is to ensure domestic supplies," he said at a virtual press conference,

Property consultant Colliers International Indonesia projects that the development of industrial areas will still focus on the island of Java due to several factors.

Among these are better infrastructure, availability of skilled workers, and port support.

"There will be many locations and industrial areas with data centers being developed in the coming year. Tenants also have many options in this area," said Senior Associate Director of Colliers International Indonesia Ferry Salanto, Wednesday (19/1). Furthermore, the Colliers International Indonesia report explains that the absorption of industrial land in 2021 will increase from 2020, which will reach the range of 200 hectares. As for land prices, some areas dared to set higher prices, which was triggered by the rising level of sales. Several industrial estates are said to anticipate price increases of up to 10 percent this year. But for the most part, according to Colliers, most industrial estates will still maintain their old prices this year.

Mount Tabur Museum was founded in 1990. It's quite old. It's natural to need some polish to repair the damage at some point, so that visitors always feel comfortable.

Attention to the preservation of the Batiwakkal Museum is not only from the government. The closest companies also contributed a lot to the preservation of the museum. “Until now, the cooperation between the Sultanate of Gunung Tabur and companies, especially PT Berau Coal, is still very good.

The chairman of the IKN - Real Estate Indonesia (REI) Working Group (Pokja) Soelaeman Soemawinata, said that in theory the developer is interested in developing the new capital city location.

But the development plan is still not clear so it requires regulation from the government. "Developers still need regulations there. The existing laws are only the foundation, but later on there will be many derivatives of Presidential Regulations (Presidential Regulations), and Government Regulations for their substance," Soelaeman explained, to CNBC Indonesia, Wednesday (19/19/2020). 1/2022). The substance means, for example, the ease of investing in spatial engineering, the required specifications and spatial plans. "What is the concept of spatial planning, land use.

Deputy CEO of 99 Group Indonesia Wasudewan said, there are three areas that are the prima donna of property search in 2021, namely South Tangerang (Tangsel) Banten, Sleman Yogyakarta and Surabaya, East Java.

here is South Tangerang with a sharp increase of around 117 percent, then Sleman 42 percent and Surabaya 38 percent," said Wasudewan in an online seminar at Rumah123.com as quoted from Antara. According to him, this may be influenced by factors in the development of infrastructure facilities in the three regions. "We both know that in South Tangerang, Banten, infrastructure development is taking place, one of which is the construction of the Serpong-Balaraja Toll Road," he said. Then, continued Wasudewan, in Sleman with the construction of a toll road from Solo to Yogyakarta, this also increases property searches in Sleman. Likewise in Surabaya there was a fairly high increase. The Deputy CEO of 99 Group Indonesia also added that property searches throughout the past year were still dominated by landed houses.

So far, data and implementation on the ground show that natural resource governance in Indonesia is still poor. Based on data from the Consortium for Agrarian Reform (KPA)

the plantation sector is the highest cause of agrarian conflicts every year. The Head of the Anti-Extractive Industry Campaign of the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) Hadi Jatmiko stated that the revocation of business licenses, especially in the forestry sector, had not fully answered the demands of the people in conflict. Because, judging from the reasons for the revocation of the permit, the government is only making improvements by providing transparent and accountable permit facilities. On the other hand, the government does not revoke the business license on the grounds that the company has caused environmental damage or is in conflict with the community. Hadi also concluded that the revocation of this permit was not entirely in the interests of the community and the environment, but rather to attract the power of natural resource management. Hadi recommended that forests and land whose licenses had been revoked should not be auctioned back to the company. Forests and land damaged due to licensing activities also need to be immediately restored and distributed to the people or redistribution. Deputy Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Deputy Head of the National Land Agency Surya Tjandra previously also stated that some of the land will be distributed to local communities and partly to credible companies. The detailed schemes and provisions for land distribution are still being discussed by the relevant ministries/agencies.

The tug-of-war to meet domestic demand for coal is still going on. Deputy Chairperson of Commission VII DPR, Maman Abdurrahman explained, the results of the opinion meeting with the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) are still looking for a permanent solution to overcome the coal supply crisis in the electricity sector.

The government's efforts to reduce poverty during the Covid-19 pandemic are overshadowed by the potential for price increases for a number of basic necessities.

If it is not accompanied by an increase in income and strengthening purchasing power, vulnerable people can fall back into poverty. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) noted, as of September 2021, there were 26.5 million poor people in Indonesia or 9.71 percent of the total population. That number decreased by 1.05 million people compared to the position in September 2020. At that time, in the first year of the pandemic, the number of poor people jumped to 27.55 million people or 10.19 percent of the total population. BPS defines the poor as those who have an average monthly per capita expenditure below the poverty line. The poverty line expenditure limit as of September 2021 is IDR 486,168 per capita per month or IDR 2,187,756 per poor household per month. The spending limit for the poverty line rose 5.5 percent or Rp 27,221 compared to September 2020. The increase was mostly influenced by food commodity prices, which contributed 74.5 percent to the total increase. According to the Head of BPS Margo Yuwono, if not accompanied by an increase in wages or adequate income, the spike in the prices of food commodities and other goods this year could trigger an increase in the poverty rate. Several food commodities have experienced significant price increases this year due to a number of factors. The commodities, for example, are cooking oil, chicken eggs, and red chilies. The government also plans to increase the rate of Value Added Tax (VAT), cigarette excise, and electricity tariffs this year. “Inflation itself does not necessarily affect the poverty rate. What is worrying is that people's incomes do not increase, while inflation is getting higher," he said
