INDONESIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Indonesia, a vast polyglot nation, has grown strongly since 2010. During the global financial crisis, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbors and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth. The government has promoted fiscally conservative policies, resulting in a debt-to-GDP ratio of less than 25% and historically low rates of inflation. Fitch and Moody's upgraded Indonesia's credit rating to investment grade in December 2011. Indonesia still struggles with poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment, and unequal resource distribution among regions. President Joko WIDODO - elected in July 2014 - has emphasized domestic economic growth in his first few months in office and in November 2014 reduced fuel subsidies, a move which could help the government increase spending on its development priorities. Indonesia, with the nine other ASEAN members, will form the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

 

Originally the company named P.T. AMOCO MITSUI PTA INDONESIA was established in Jakarta on 7 November 1994 with an authorized capital of US$ 125,000,000 entirely issued and paid-up. The founding shareholders originally are BP AMOCO CHEMICAL INDONESIA Ltd., of the USA, MITSUI CHEMICAL INC., and MITSUI & Co., Ltd., both of Japan. The company's notarial act has frequently been revised. Then in November 1997 the authorized capital was raised to US$ 160,000,000 entirely issued and paid up. Later according to the latest revision of notary deed Mr. Mala Mukti, SH., no. 76 dated 28 February 2014 the company name was changed into P.T. BP PETROCHEMICALS INDONESIA (P.T. BPI). On the same occasion MITSUI CHEMICALS INC., and MITSUI & CO, LTD., of Japan pulled out and the whole shares taken over by BP AMOCO CHEMICAL INDONESIA LTD. Concurrently BP GLOBAL INVESTMENTS LTD., of the USA entered into the company as new shareholder. With this time the composition of its shareholders has been changed to become BP AMOCO CHEMICAL INDONESIA LTD., (50%) and BP GLOBAL INVESTMENTS LTD., (50%). The deed of amendments was approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in its decision letter No. AHU-09558.AH.01.02.TH.2014 dated March 4, 2014.

 

P.T. BPI is a Foreign Capital Investment (PMA) company dealing with Purified Terepthalic Acid (PTA) manufacturing with its plant located at PENI complex, Jalan Raya Merak Km. 116, Tanjung Gerem, Cilegon, Banten Province standing on a land bank of 160,000 sq. meters. Before 1997, most demands of PTA in Indonesia were met through import. But since 1997, the demands have been met by domestic factories. In order to support the growth of domestic textile industries, BP plc, Mitsui Chemical Inc., and Mitsui & Co., Ltd, very well known as the three leading companies in their fields, formed a joint venture by the name of P.T. BP Petrochemicals Indonesia. The construction work of the plant was begun in May 1995 in Merak city, Banten, and completed in July 1997. The company started its production in September 1997 and factory adapts technology from BP and Mitsui Chemicals.

 

Later the company had been expanding to increasing production capacity. P.T. BPI gains benefits from continuous development in PTA production technology carried out by BP and Mitsui Chemicals. This development of technology enables P.T. BPI to produce high quality PTA efficiently and effectively. The company had increased its production amounts from the installed capacity of 350,000 tons to 530,000 tons of PTA per year in 2006. PTA (purified Terephtalic Acid) is the preferred raw material used to produce Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) or polyester. The major applications for polyester are in fiber, bottles, films and molded containers. In the textile industry, polyester, alone or in a blend with cotton, wool or other synthetic fiber, is used in fabrics for clothing and home furnishings. For industrial markets, woven polyester fibers are used in automotive tire cord and seat belt application. Polyester resins are also widely used in molded containers for food, beverages and mineral water. Additionally, polyester films is used as a recording medium for audio and video tapes and as film in medical X-ray equipment.

 

In early 2014 BP agreed to purchase all interests held by Japan’s Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (MCI) and Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (MBK) in P.T. Amoco Mitsui PTA Indonesia (AMI), a joint venture for production and sales of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), bringing total BP shares in the company to 100%. The new company, P.T. BP Petrochemicals Indonesia produces 530,000 tons a year of PTA, a raw material for polyester which is used in clothing, food and drink packaging and certain industrial applications. BP’s global PTA capacity is 7.1 million tonnes per year (mtpa) (net) from seven sites in the US (2), Belgium, China, Indonesia, and Taiwan (2). The largest is in China at Zhuhai, where expansion of net capacity of 1.5 mtpa is expected to add 1.25 mtpa by 2014, making it one of the world’s largest PTA manufacturing sites.

 

More than  90%  of  its  products  is marketed domestically to various  PTA  consumer industries operating  in the manufacturing of polyester fiber, film and plastic  products and the balance is exported to India, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. The company operation has kept on growing within the last five years. It is also experienced by its main customers particularly the companies dealing with polyester fiber, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, polyester, tyre cord etc. We observe the operation of P.T. BPI has been growing and developing well in the last three years.

 

Year 2013 was a very challenging for the trade and business in general and for Polyester sector in particular where it undergone very turbulent period. The Global economic slowdown had an impending and prolonged impact on the demand that has been further exacerbated by the excessive supply due to over capacity of PTA, Polyester Fiber and Filament yarn in Asia, mainly led by China. This has triggered a global down-cycle in the polyester chain, which has been lasting for an abnormally longer period and where many of the Asian and Global manufacturers suffered considerably. The product spreads across the polyester value chain continued to remain depressed due to stiff competition and the softening trend in cotton and Rayon prices during the year.

 

Polyester and Raw material chain apparently reflect the current uncertainty and slow down of the global economy and the overall growth of polyester production has slowed down in the past two years 2012 and 2013. With the effective capacity of about 17 million tons added in the last two years, PTA operating dropped to 76% in 2013 from 90.2% and likely to fall below 74% in 2014 with rationalization of the regional capacities. Polyester polymer production reaching 61.68 million tons, a growth of 3.2 million tons or 5.5% in the year 2013, marginally improved from4.6% in 2012 as the global economy recovered in the second half of 2013. Longer-term growth rates are trending better with over 6% look impressive compared with other major petrochemical related business sectors.

Global economy is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2014 and 3.9% in 2015, primarily due to recovery in advanced economies and the emerging economies to expand by 5.10% and 5.4% respectively. Indonesian economy is projected to grow moderately at 5.3% - 5.5% in 2014 and 2015 and the growth will be primarily driven by strong domestic consumptions and modest increase in exports to its major trading partners. The Indonesian rupiah (IDR) is likely to remain under pressure in early 2014 amid uncertainty over the election results and U.S. Fed tapering. Domestic environment for manufacturing sectors expect to pass through a tough phase with the proposed hike in energy and manpower costs. Both Gas prices and Electricity tariff are slated for a significant

Increase in 2014 putting pressure on cost competitiveness of the domestic manufacturers.

 

Industry is taking up the matter with the ministry for phasing out the hike over a period of time instead at one go. With regard to polyester upstream sector, with the additional capacity of Fiber and Filament yarn going on stream, domestic market is expected to face a stiff price competition for commodity products. However, the Company with its strong customer base and with a diversified product mix is firmly placed to remain competitive and maintain its leadership position. The delay in finding a solution to its long pending secured debt restructuring continues to remain a setback to carry out its growth plans. To expedite the process, the Company has recently submitted an updated restructuring plan with alternate option to its secured creditors that are under active consideration. Post restructure, the Company will have a sound and healthy financial base with its debts brought down to sustainable levels. This would in turn enable the company to raise finance from market to meet its short and long terms investments to fund its growth plans. All of these efforts will improve the performance of the Company significantly, and to reposition it to the forefront of the polyester industry and retain its strategic and leadership position.

 

Until this time P.T. BPI has not been registered with Indonesian Stock Exchange, so that they had not obliged to announce their financial statement. The management of P.T. BPI is very reclusive towards outsiders and rejected to disclose its financial condition. We observed that total sales turnover of the company in 2012 amounted to US$ 590.0 million increased to US$ 604.0 million in 2013 rose to US$ 618.0 million in 2014 and projected to go on rising by at least 6% in 2015. The operation in 2014 yielded an estimated net profit of at least US$ 44.5 million and the company has an estimated total networth of at least 170.0 million. We observe that P.T. BPI is supported by foreign partner with has financially strong and sound behind it. So far, we did not heard that the company having been black listed by the Central Bank (Bank Indonesia). The company usually pays its debts punctually to suppliers.

 

The management of P.T. BPI is led by DR. Frank Charles Robertson (60) a professional manager of Scotland with experience in purified terepthalate acid industry. Daily activity he is assisted by Mrs. Wong Wai Yee (56) and Mr. Sean Zahid Plant (46) as Directors. The company's management is handled by professional staff in the above business. They have wide relations with private businessmen within and outside the country.

 

So far, we did not hear that the management of the company being filed to the district court for detrimental cases or involved in any business malpractices. The company’s litigation record is clean and it has not registered with the black list of Bank of Indonesia. P.T. BP PETROCHEMICALS INDONESIA is sufficiently fairly good for business transaction. However, in view of the global economic slowdown we recommend to treat prudently in extending a loan to the company.
