The first high-level meeting of the G20 under Indonesia's chairmanship will take place in Washington, the United States.

Russia's presence at the finance ministers and central bank governors' forum will trigger a heated debate. Indonesia tries to ensure that all agenda items remain the subject of discussion. Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina will attend a virtual meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors (FMCBG). A number of Russian technical officials will reportedly follow the FMCBG live in Washington. The Russian delegation will also attend the World Bank Spring Meetings which will begin in Washington. The G20 FMCBG is always held in conjunction with the World Bank Spring Meetings. Prior to last week's meeting, the Indonesian Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani and BI Governor Perry Warjiyo had attended 50 bilateral meetings with their counterparts at the G20. A number of officials from the Ministry of Finance and Bank Indonesia confirmed that the April 12 meeting was marked by criticism of Russia. A similar phenomenon is expected to repeat itself at the FMCBG in Washington. "The G20 meeting will be an event that symbolizes the division of the international community after the Russian attack," NLI Research Institute economist Tsuyoshi Ueno told Kyodonews. In fact, the debate on FMCBG will still be heated even if Russia is not present. Ministry of Finance and central bank officials will debate how to control soaring inflation and soaring commodity prices. Exporting and importing countries will have very different views on this issue.

The government through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) is still evaluating the moratorium on the issuance of oil palm plantation permits.

The moratorium policy on the issuance of palm oil plantation permits is contained in Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 8 of 2018 concerning Suspension and Evaluation of Oil Palm Plantation Permits. The objective of the moratorium is to improve the governance of forest resources and increase the productivity of sustainable oil palm plantations. The regulation is valid until September 2021. "Regarding the moratorium, if it is effective, we will continue it," said Deputy Minister of Environment and Forestry, Alue Dohong. According to him, the area of ​​​​oil palm is now fairly large so that what is most needed is to increase its productivity. This is also in line with government policies which emphasize intensification rather than extensification. "So it is actually relevant that the moratorium should be continued in order to achieve a net sink by 2030," said Alue Dohong. It should be noted that the net sink is the absorption of forest emissions that is more than the emissions released. Indonesia has made a road map so that the target is achieved by 2030. "That target must be pursued and continued," said Alue Dohong.

The Executive Director of the Palm Oil Agribusiness Strategic Policy Institute (PASPI), Tungkot Sipayung,

explained that the black campaign against natural commodities such as palm oil and forestry products in Indonesia had been going on since the 1980s, when plantations and forestry began to develop. “Currently, oil palm and forestry are being attacked by black campaigns for using exaggerated and exaggerated issues. These various issues must be watched out for because they can suppress Indonesia's power in the international market," said Tungkot. As explained by Tungkot, the black campaign's pressure on the competitiveness of superior commodities is aimed at aspects of consumer tastes/demands and the cost of production. "It must be remembered that the people's taste factor and the basic cost of production are at the heart of competitiveness. The black campaign is trying to hit through these two factors," he explained. According to him, black campaign patterns and issues try to influence people's behavior so that they no longer use natural commodities which are one of their wealth. In Indonesia, this campaign targets consumer countries such as Europe, China, and India. To change consumer tastes for palm oil, for example, said Tungkot, a palm oil free campaign was launched in a number of food products. Tungkot asked the government and other actors The industry is aware of the long-term effects of this NGO black campaign because the impact of the campaign has been seen from the use of the 'No Palm Oil' label in the country to efforts to put pressure on national and international certification bodies.

Director General of Public Works and Housing Infrastructure Financing,

Ministry of PUPR Eko D Heripoerwanto in a webinar discussion organized by the Public Housing Journalists Forum, stated that his party identified a number of problems in the subsidized housing program, both in terms of location and building quality. There are still many subsidized housing locations that do not refer to spatial and regional layouts, and the quality of housing does not meet functional standards. He gave an example, there is a subsidized housing project in Papua which is located in an ex-flood location whose handling has not been completed. This condition causes the fate of consumers to be in limbo because they cannot occupy houses that have been paid in installments through subsidized housing loans (KPR). There is also subsidized housing where the facilities and infrastructure are not yet complete, the electricity network is not yet available, and there is no public transportation. As a result, houses cannot be lived in. In addition, there are also cases where a number of subsidized houses have not been occupied for more than 1 year, rented out, and transferred before 5 years. This indicates that the subsidized housing program has not yet been targeted. To improve supervision, the government implements a digital-based information system application. The Main Director of the Center for the Management of Housing Financing Funds (PPDPP) of the PUPR Ministry, Arief Sabaruddin, added that low-income people have not fully become the subject of housing development and tend to be objects. The targeting of subsidized housing still needs to be improved. "It's right on target not only in terms of its designation, but also the quality of subsidized housing that must meet the eligibility standards," said Arief.

The formation of the task force is still based on the Riau Governor's Circular (SE) which will be issued soon, following the dry season in Riau.

This makes palm oil one of the main figures from the agricultural sector in Indonesia's economic activity. Director General of Plantation Processing and Marketing of the Ministry of Agriculture Dedi Junaedi said the agricultural sector was still growing during the pandemic, one of which was thanks to palm oil.

The management of sustainable oil palm plantations must continue to be improved, one of which is through strengthening ISPO certification regulations.

PT Smartfren Tbk noted that Internet data usage grew by more than 20 percent every quarter, since last year.

Smartfren's Chief Executive Officer, Djoko Tata Ibrahim, targets an increase in data usage by attracting more new customers. Until the end of 2020 Smartfren subscribers reached 30 million. "Now we will add 40 million subscribers," he said yesterday. Smartfren will target new customers in residential areas. Djoko said the growth of users in housing is very significant compared to users in office areas. The number is also much higher than overseas users, whose numbers have decreased dramatically in the midst of the pandemic. One of Smartfren's strategies to attract customers in residential areas is to launch Gokil Max, which offers local quotas double the national quota plus a bonus quota which is active at 01.00-05.00 WIB. The available package options start from 9 GB plus a 30 GB bonus for Rp. 30 thousand to a 36 GB package plus a 70 GB bonus for Rp. 70 thousand. "This product is issued in accordance with current consumer needs, namely large quotas, affordable prices, for needs when more at home," he said. From the network side, Smartfren is preparing to launch 5G technology. This company won the auction for the 2.3 GHz frequency and received an empty block with a bandwidth of 10 MHz, with a bid value of Rp. 176.5 billion per block.
