KPPU's Commissioner, Ukay Karyadi, said that throughout 2021 there were a number of acquisitions by private companies. It was carried out against a national oil palm plantation company. "From the KPPU's own data, last year there were 10 acquisitions of palm oil plantations by larger companies. In which 5 Malaysian companies acquired national companies, on the other hand, Malaysian (companies) acquired Malaysian (companies)," he said in Indef's virtual discussion, "So the more the sovereignty of the oil palm plantation decreases in terms of ownership. People's ownership is decreasing, national ownership is also decreasing. This needs to be a concern for all," he added. With the acquisition, he said, the percentage of ownership of oil palm plantations managed by the community also decreased. This is a domino effect that occurs in the upstream sector. "Every year, people's ownership decreases because they are taken by medium-sized companies. Every year, medium-sized companies also decrease because they are acquired by large companies," he said.

They will not get an export permit if they do not meet the DMO requirements. "We make sure to guarantee that the coal crisis will not happen again," said President Director of PT PLN (Persero) Darmawan Prasodjo during a Hearing Meeting with Commission VII DPR. in maintaining supply and enforcement of the rules of the game. “The existence of Ministerial Decree 13/2022 will strengthen the government's position in providing rewards and punishments. Because of this, it is clear that there is a fine in its implementation.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the stance before members of the political field of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. In a speech published on Tuesday night (1/25) Beijing time, Xi stressed that cutting carbon emissions is not at all the same as eliminating emissions or lowering productivity.

It is very important to ensure alignment towards development and transition targets. According to Xi, the transfer of energy sources should be based on the availability of new sources. Do not leave the old energy source until the new energy source is available. "China must control its consumption of fossil fuels," he said, as quoted by Xinhua. It is very important for China to ensure domestic energy supply and use it optimally. China must ensure the security of coal supply, keep the use of oil and natural gas growing in a controlled manner. On the other hand, Xi stressed the importance of spurring growth in the use of renewable energy. He also said that China must promote the safe and orderly use of nuclear power. The combination of increasing the use of renewable energy and nuclear is expected to reduce the carbon emissions released by China.

Cooking oil prices are skyrocketing. The compact producers raise prices on the pretext of adjusting to the price of palm oil (CPO) in the global market. The spike in cooking oil prices in Indonesia is ironic, considering that the supply of palm oil in Indonesia is always abundant.

It is even listed as the largest CPO producing country in the world. In fact, large cooking oil producing companies are working on their oil palm plantations on state land granted by the government through the granting rights scheme (HGU). In fact, several HGUs for large oil palm plantations are located on former forest release lands. However, the government cannot force producers to lower the price of cooking oil which is included in the basic needs of the community. HGU is the provision of state-owned land to be managed by entrepreneurs to be used economically for a certain period of time in accordance with Law Number 5 of 1960 and its derivative regulations. The existence of the HGU itself is actually nothing but the embodiment of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, in which the earth and the wealth in it can be used as much as possible for the welfare of the people. In order for entrepreneurs to get HGU, there are a number of procedures that must be followed. HGU can be granted for land with an area of at least 5 hectares.

Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Dadan Kusdiana said the coal crisis that previously hit PLN's PLTU did not hinder the development of New Renewable Energy (EBT) in Indonesia.

"I see that there are no actual issues related to what is at PLN, whether it is related to the PLTU or oversupply," said Dadan at the 2021 Performance Achievement Press Conference and the 2022 EBTKE Subsector Work Plan. Dadan said that he was based on the approval of the revised Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) 2021-2030. The revision is the result of discussions between PLN and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. "This discussion has been completed, so the current RUPTL, which has now been approved by the ESDM minister, is based on an excess supply basis from PLN as well as the conditions for the use of coal," said Dadan. He added that in the revised RUPTL, the government and PLN have determined that the capacity for NRE power plants will be increased by 20.9 GW (gigawatts) until 2030. so I see this is not an obstacle," said Dadan.

The Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) assesses that food security in the ASEAN region requires a larger private contribution, including through foreign direct investment (FDI).

Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) researcher Azizah Fauzi said this needed to be done to strengthen food and agricultural supply chains and the region's position in global value chains. “This area requires more investment, including foreign direct investment in the food sector to ensure people's access and affordability to food. Food security in ASEAN is still vulnerable to price fluctuations and supply disruptions. This affects the food affordability of the people," said Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) researcher Azizah Fauzi in her official broadcast, Azizah said, the realization of FDI in agriculture in ASEAN until 2020 was less than 10 percent of the total FDI in the region. FDI in the ASEAN agricultural sector has decreased since 2015 and the average annual FDI realization of agriculture to ASEAN in 2016 to 2019 was 26.89 percent lower than 2015. Azizah also said that the vulnerability of food security in ASEAN, among others, can be seen from the problem of food shortages. long-standing nutrition.

Although last year the realization of the tax ratio or the tax ratio is below the target, the government's opportunity to penetrate the target figure set this year of 9.22% is quite open

in line with the implementation of Law no. 7/2021 concerning Harmonization of Tax Regulations (HPP). There is a great opportunity to reach this target because the government is referring to efforts to increase the tax ratio in a broad sense, which includes tax revenues, customs and excise, as well as non-tax state revenues (PNBP) of natural resources (SDA). Expert Staff to the Minister of Finance for Tax Compliance, Yon Arsal, said that the selection of the tax ratio in a broad sense is based on the calculations that have been applied by the fiscal authorities. "In our tax ratio, there are elements of BC and PNBP SDA," said Yon. The estimation of the projected tax ratio is determined by the Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF) of the Ministry of Finance using the basis of nominal gross domestic product (GDP). tax observers consider that the fiscal authority will face obstacles in exploring tax potential because the government uses the tax ratio in a broad sense as a measure of fiscal performance. Tax observer Center for Indonesia Taxation Analysis (CITA) Fajry Akbar said there are three risks that will be faced by the government, namely, first, the effectiveness of the Voluntary Disclosure Program (PPS) or Tax Amnesty 2022, which depends on the number of taxpayers who are participants. Second, there are no derivative rules related to the appointment of other parties as tax collectors. Third, optimizing the policy of preventing tax avoidance practices. "So, we need strategy and planning in implementation in order to be able to encourage the tax ratio," he said

The easing of provisions for tax restitution or refunds is enshrined in Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 209/PMK.03/2021 concerning the second amendment to PMK No. 39/PMK.03/2018 concerning Procedures for Preliminary Refund of Excess Tax Payments.

In this regulation, the government adjusts the limit for overpayment of Value Added Tax (PPN) refunds for Taxable Entrepreneurs (PKP) who meet certain requirements as taxpayers to Rp5 billion. This limit figure is much higher than the previous provision which was only Rp. 1 billion. This condition opens the opportunity for more taxpayers who are included in the PKP to apply for tax refunds or refunds. This policy also risks depleting potential tax revenues, which this year is targeted to reach Rp1,265 trillion as stated in the 2022 State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). A member of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) for Monetary Policy and Financial Services, Ajib Hamdani said, the restitution policy increases the government's fiscal risk because the reduction in tax revenue has the potential to be even greater. "This restitution will be a direct deduction from existing tax revenues," he told Bisnis last weekend. According to him, without any easing of regulations, the potential for an increase in restitution this year is quite large in line with the need for fiscal assistance to the public and the business world to maintain the momentum of economic recovery.
