Indonesia Has Introduced New Policies To Save Labour Intensive Industries Such As Footwear Industry

< p > Indonesian President has passed the Presidential Decree No. ninth of 2013, directing provincial governors to stipulate and announce the minimum wage at the provincial level, which was carried out in all provinces of the country in November 1st.

< /p >

"P", as in the past, wage rules will always appear to support and oppose the idea, endless, it seems that it has not satisfied all parties concerned.

Workers generally ask for higher wages, so a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > /a > industry group is always troubled.

< /p >

< p > especially on the eve of next year's election, many politicians regard this labor welfare issue as a publicity material and promise a high wage.

< /p >

< p > wage increases are additional production costs, and when the minimum wage is discussed at the provincial level, trade unions often launch protests.

< /p >

< p > people hope that the discussion on the minimum wage at the provincial level will proceed smoothly and there will be no turbulence.

At the moment when prices are soaring, we hope that the business community will understand the hope that employees maintain a decent life.

On the other hand, workers must understand the plight of some enterprises. Many enterprises are affected by the global economic slowdown, export demand reduction and shield currency exchange rate weakness.

< /p >

"P > domestic industry has been quite a lot of problems recently. HSBC announced the performance of domestic manufacturing industry in August this year, based on the analysis of Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), which is not only very much concerned, but also entering the tightening stage.

< /p >

< p > although the performance of manufacturing industry has improved in September this year, the threat of continued demand and the threat to the future of the industry still exist.

< a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile > /a > and textile industry, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes > industry, etc., all face the problem of the US market.

At the moment, the US government is suffering from a budget crisis and is likely to jeopardize our exports.

< /p >

Besides P, the industry is also influenced by government policies, because the government plans to revoke the third and fourth sets of industrial subsidies in 2014.

< /p >

< p > see that there are more and more imported products that are actually produced in the domestic market. Some people even worry that our country has been threatened by the symptoms of non industrialization.

< /p >

In addition, the central bank's interest rate that reaches the 7.25% level also interferes with the industrial sector, as interest rates on loans rise with P.

Now that there is a plan to raise the minimum wage at the provincial level, capital intensive industries need to improve competitiveness and efficiency if they want to tide over the difficulties.

< /p >

The role played by the government in rescuing domestic industries, especially capital intensive industries, is what P earnestly expects.

Through the definitions and restrictions and the ministerial regulations of some labour intensive industries, the government has tried to answer the above requirements in the industry.

< /p >

< p > in the above regulations, there are 6 labor-intensive industrial sectors, namely, food, beverage and tobacco; textiles and garments; < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > leather < /a > and leather products; footwear industry; toy industry and furniture industry get short-term tax concessions, including income tax reduction and tax suspension.

< /p >

< p > If enterprises can guarantee not to dismiss employees, the enterprises listed in the labor-intensive industrial group will also be protected by the government. That is, through the Presidential Decree No. ninth of 2013 concerning the minimum wage policy, the provincial minimum wage increase in 2014 will be carried out reasonably.

< /p >

< p > the order indicates that the minimum wage at the provincial / city / county level will be oriented towards the realization of decent living needs.

In areas where minimum wages are less than decent living, wage increases are separately determined by labour intensive industries and other industries.

< /p >

Although the above P tax concessions are not large, they may be helpful to labor-intensive industries in the face of increased production costs and market disruption.

Let's hope that tax concessions really operate effectively, and qualified enterprises can easily make use of them without having to go through unnecessary bureaucratic procedures.

< /p >

< p > only in this way can the a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > industry < /a > meet the demands of employees for wage increase, and the space for preparation for the ASEAN Economic Community on the eve of 2015.
