[00:00:26] The haze from forest and land fires is getting thicker in
[00:00:30] Kota Waringin Timur, Central Kalimantan. The Ministry of Environment
[00:00:34] states that the air quality in Kota
[00:00:36] several superior commodities Waringin Timur is in the dangerous
[00:00:37] category.
[00:00:40] The increasingly thick and yellowish haze blankets Kota Waringin
[00:00:43] Timur. The haze disrupts the daily activities of local
[00:00:47] residents. Exposure to forest fire smoke can trigger
[00:00:51] eye irritation, coughing, and respiratory problems.
[00:00:54] Exposure to smoke is very dangerous for children, pregnant women, and the
[00:00:57] elderly. From the Ispu
[00:01:00] application of the Ministry of Environment, the air quality in
[00:01:03] Kotim was in the dangerous category at
[00:01:08] the World Food Day, which is 8 AM. Meanwhile, the impact of the haze forces drivers to be more
[00:01:12] careful due to limited visibility.
[00:01:15] The public is urged to be vigilant because exposure to smoke can threaten
[00:01:18] health. The government also urges the public to reduce
[00:01:22] outdoor activities when air quality deteriorates,
[00:01:25] use masks, and seek medical attention immediately
[00:01:29] if experiencing respiratory
[00:01:31] problems.

[00:01:49] able to turn on their turn
[00:01:53] signals and also reduce their

[00:03:33] labor-intensive sector businesses, even though national economic growth remained stable at
[00:03:36] around 5%, the labor-intensive
[00:03:40] industry is still struggling due to
[00:03:42] obstacles from upstream production to marketing.
[00:03:55] PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk officially has a new
[00:03:58] leader through an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The shareholders
[00:04:02] appointed Thomas Sugiarto Untoro as President
[00:04:05] Director, replacing Glenni Kairupan who has now been shifted to
[00:04:09] President
[00:04:10] Commissioner.
[00:04:19] Hello, good morning viewers, how are you? I'm very happy to meet you again in the
[00:04:23] business zone, this time with me, Jessica Wulandari, who will accompany
[00:04:26] you for the next hour. Viewers, in addition to the two main news items earlier, we
[00:04:30] present a number of other interesting information from the world of economics and business, and straight to it, here is the full
[00:04:34] business
[00:04:34] zone.
[00:04:41] so he was relieved of his duties as Minister of Foreign
[00:04:44] Affairs. Furthermore, in this official report, the first
[00:04:48] party is
[00:04:50] Armanasir,

[00:07:59] The end-of-duty memorandum will be handed over by Mr. Singilo
[00:08:03] to Mr.
[00:08:04] Arsir.
[00:08:28] Alright, thank you. We would like to move on to other information, viewers,
[00:08:31] regarding the Ministry of Finance which reported the realization of the State
[00:08:35] Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN) performance until September
[00:08:38] 2026 experienced a deficit of 319
[00:08:43] trillion or 1.24% of the gross domestic
[00:08:47] product. Although it surged compared to the previous month, the
[00:08:50] deficit figure was lower compared to the same period last
[00:08:53] year. In the APBN Performance and Facts press conference,
[00:08:57] Finance Minister Suahasil Nazara explained that
[00:09:00] the deficit occurred due to higher
[00:09:03] realization of state expenditure compared to state revenue recap.
[00:09:06] The realization of state expenditure until September 2026 was recorded
[00:09:10] at 2,660
[00:09:13] trillion, or 69.2% of
[00:09:16] the annual target. This figure jumped 19% compared
[00:09:20] to the same period last year, while the realization
[00:09:23] of state revenue was recorded at
[00:09:25] 2,341.5 trillion, or
[00:09:29] 74.2% of the total ceiling for 2026,
[00:09:32] an increase of 25.5% compared to last
[00:09:36] year. The Ministry of Finance also noted that the primary
[00:09:39] balance of the APBN still had a surplus of... September
[00:09:50] 2026
[00:09:57] that until September 2026 state revenue
[00:10:00] was 2,341.5 trillion,
[00:10:04] 74.2% of the target, growing
[00:10:07] 25.5% from last year. State expenditure was
[00:10:10] 69.2,
[00:10:13] 2,660.5 trillion,
[00:10:15] 69.2% of the ceiling and grew 19%.
[00:10:19] The deficit is currently 1.2% of
[00:10:23] GDP, so this is on track. We are heading towards the implementation
[00:10:27] of the APBN, which from the beginning, since
[00:10:30] it was stipulated, was designed for a deficit. Now,
[00:10:33] the deficit, if you remember last month's data,
[00:10:37] you can see again that last month's deficit was
[00:10:41] 0.9%. This year, as of
[00:10:44] the end of September, it's 1.2%.
[00:10:47] We will eventually reach a deficit of around 2.8%
[00:10:50] at the end of the year. The Ministry of Finance reported the realization
[00:10:54] of total state expenditure until September 2026 reached
[00:10:57] Rp2,660.5 trillion, or grew
[00:11:01] 19% year-on-year compared to the same
[00:11:04] period in the previous year. This figure is only equivalent
[00:11:07] to 69.2% of the APBN target this year of
[00:11:10] Rp3,844.2 trillion. Finance
[00:11:14] Minister Suahasil Nazara explained that the increase in state expenditure was influenced by
[00:11:18] the swelling realization of Ministry and agency spending, which
[00:11:21] rose 33.5% to.
[00:11:55] in the APBN target, this allocation is dominated by
[00:11:58] pension payments, subsidies, and
[00:12:01] fuel and electricity compensation totaling
[00:12:03] 991.9
[00:12:06] trillion. The APBN as of September
[00:12:10] increased by 19% to 2,660.5
[00:12:12] trillion, around
[00:12:16] 69% of the APBN target.
[00:12:20] 3/4 of the year has
[00:12:22] been realized at 69.2 percent. This is healthy and
[00:12:26] on track because we see that usually
[00:12:29] indeed, if we look at previous years, just last year,
[00:12:33] as of September 30, only 61%
[00:12:36] was spent. This year, as of September 30,
[00:12:40] we have already spent 69%. There is
[00:12:43] an acceleration of spending, and this is healthy because we really do not
[00:12:46] want state spending to be too
[00:12:50] concentrated in December. If it can be
[00:12:53] smoother, and this is what has started to happen.
[00:12:56] Viewers, we invite you to monitor the movement of the Composite
[00:13:00] Stock Price Index of the Indonesia Stock Exchange at the beginning of
[00:13:04] the week with our colleague Insan Suwardi, who will report live
[00:13:07] from the Indonesia Stock Exchange in
[00:13:10] Jakarta. Insan, what caused the Composite Stock
[00:13:14] Price Index this morning to move quite sideways and also
[00:13:17] fluctuate?
[00:13:21] Jessica, if we look at the opening of stock trading at the beginning
[00:13:25] of this week from the Indonesian capital market at the Indonesia Stock Exchange, we
[00:13:29] observe that it tends to move slightly sideways. If we look at it this
[00:13:33] morning at 9:00, the index opened, continuing the strengthening
[00:13:36] trend, where at the close last week, the index, if we look
[00:13:40] at it on October 9, closed stronger or rebounded by
[00:13:44] 1.04%. It seems that the movement this morning until
[00:13:47] now, 10:13 Western Indonesian time, the index is still tending to move
[00:13:51] quite volatile. We observed it several times, and it was still able to stay in the
[00:13:55] green zone, but currently, we observe from the board of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, we will see together,
[00:13:59] Jessica, until 10:13 Western Indonesian time, the index
[00:14:02] is still moving in the correction
[00:14:04] zone of 0.85%, equivalent to 53 points
[00:14:08] of weakening, or currently the index is at the level of 6.43
[00:14:12] with a transaction value that is still quite thin at Rp3.1 trillion.
[00:14:15] Jessica, if we also look at how the analysts view the
[00:14:19] capital market movement today, for example, Navan Aji Gusta predicts
[00:14:23] that the index is still capable of having
[00:14:25] the potential to continue the strengthening trend, which, if we look at it at the end
[00:14:29] of last week, the index experienced a rebound of 1.04%,
[00:14:33] which is not separate from various sentiments affecting policy
[00:14:36] or positive sentiment that will be able to drive strengthening
[00:14:40] or the potential for a closing that will close stronger
[00:14:43] at the end of the day later, starting from the easing of tensions in
[00:14:47] the Middle East, triggered by the statement of US President
[00:14:50] Donald Trump who mentioned that he would not attack Iran before the midterm
[00:14:54] elections on November 3. So, if we also look
[00:14:57] at the impact from the Middle East, we observe that the movement of crude
[00:15:01] oil prices, both Brent and WTI, is currently slightly
[00:15:05] softer, where the movement of Brent crude oil prices is currently
[00:15:08] experiencing a correction or weakening of 1.7%, which is at
[00:15:12] 102 dollars per barrel, followed by
[00:15:15] WTI crude oil prices or West Texas Intermediate, which are currently
[00:15:19] also slightly down at the level of 89 dollars
[00:15:23] per barrel. Yes, if we also look at the impact of other sentiments related
[00:15:27] to the strengthening of the rupiah exchange rate, which we currently observe, the rupiah exchange
[00:15:30] rate is still experiencing strengthening or currently its currency against
[00:15:34] the US dollar, we observe, is still slightly stronger
[00:15:37] by 0.05%, at the level of
[00:15:40] 17,879
[00:15:43] per US dollar. Besides that, Jessica, there is
[00:15:46] positive sentiment coming from within the country regarding news that Danantara will
[00:15:50] make additional investments in the Indonesian capital market of 1 billion
[00:15:54] dollars by the end of this year, providing a positive catalyst for
[00:15:57] market movement today.
[00:16:00] However, if we also look at the board of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, which this morning
[00:16:04] indeed, the sentiment related to sell-offs by investors, which
[00:16:07] if we look at it year to date, the figure still reaches 111
[00:16:11] trillion in the Indonesian capital market, can give rise to
[00:16:15] concerns regarding how market players will tend to be more careful
[00:16:18] in making their exposures in the Indonesian capital market. Besides that,
[00:16:22] from other sentiments, they will pay attention to how
[00:16:25] the review will be re-announced by Morgan Stanley Capital International
[00:16:29] regarding the improvement of the Indonesian capital market on November 11.
[00:16:33] Jessica, thank you, Insan Suar, for your live
[00:16:37] report from the Indonesia Stock Exchange
[00:16:39] in Jakarta.
[00:16:41] Viewers, let's move on to information regarding
[00:16:45] commemorated every October 16. The Sustainable Food System
[00:16:48] Coalition held the Sustainable Food Footprint Festival 2026
[00:16:52] at Taman Lapangan Banteng, Jakarta. This festival serves
[00:16:55] as an educational event for the public as well as promoting sustainable
[00:16:59] food security. Entering its third year of implementation,
[00:17:02] the Sustainable Food Footprint Festival brings together various stakeholders
[00:17:06] to discuss the Indonesian Food system from
[00:17:09] upstream to downstream. Through various educational activities
[00:17:13] and community involvement, the public is invited to understand that the
[00:17:17] issue of food is not only related to availability and consumption,
[00:17:20] but also includes production, distribution, and
[00:17:24] system sustainability. The government
[00:17:26] believes that food security requires collaboration from various parties, from
[00:17:30] the government, business actors, communities, to the public. This effort
[00:17:34] is expected to strengthen the national system as well as mend'.
[00:17:43] So that's where we
[00:17:46] want in the next 20 years to be able to
[00:17:49] move towards an ecoregion system that is
[00:17:52] based on potential and also local
[00:17:55] wisdom. And furthermore, in the
[00:17:59] pouring for the midterm development plan
[00:18:02] or the medium-term development framework,
[00:18:06] we also place it as one
[00:18:09] of the development
[00:18:12] priorities until 2029.
[00:18:16] Viewers, the business zone will return after a break, stay with
[00:18:19] us.
[00:21:24] Indonesia and Egypt continue to strengthen bilateral relations through cooperation
[00:21:28] in various fields. The warmth of President Prabowo Subianto with
[00:21:32] the Egyptian President was also visible when President Prabowo personally
[00:21:35] escorted the departure of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah
[00:21:39] El-Sisi after completing his visit to
[00:21:41] Indonesia. A warm and friendly atmosphere
[00:21:45] colored the farewell ceremony for the state visit of Egyptian President
[00:21:49] Abdel Fatah.
[00:22:20] cooperation agreements in various fields. Egypt also invites
[00:22:23] Danantara to cooperate in the field of palm oil downstreaming
[00:22:27] or Crude Palm Oil or CPO, and according to
[00:22:30] Rosan, Egypt has prepared land for the construction
[00:22:33] of a CPO refinery facility.
[00:22:36] The two countries also target bilateral trade to increase
[00:22:40] to 5 billion US dollars by 2030.
[00:22:44] mendatang.
[00:22:47] Yeah, not for our investment. And cooperation between
[00:22:51] someone with their future and also
[00:22:55] cooperation for what in
[00:22:58] the field of palm
[00:23:01] oil CPO and land has been provided
[00:23:05] there to build a palm oil refinery also because they also import
[00:23:08] a lot of palm oil from Indonesia, and also
[00:23:12] cooperation later in other fields, maybe that's
[00:23:15] the main thing first, not yet, I have to talk directly
[00:23:19] about investment. Oh, that's for
[00:23:23] up to 2030 for trade between the two
[00:23:27] countries, expected to be billions of US dollars by
[00:23:29] 2030. Okay, President Prabowo Subianto
[00:23:33] and Egyptian President Abdul Fatah El-Sisi have agreed
[00:23:36] on a number of collaborations in a bilateral meeting last Sunday
[00:23:40] at the State Palace. This cooperation covers the economic,
[00:23:43] trade, maritime, and education sectors. And for
[00:23:46] more details, we join Metro TV journalist Kautsar. Rabo and cameraman
[00:23:50] Maulana Ridwan from the Presidential Palace
[00:23:54] Jakarta. Kautsar, what are the results of the agreement between the two heads
[00:23:57] of state?
[00:24:01] Yes, good morning viewers, it is true that there has
[00:24:05] been an agreement reached between President Prabowo
[00:24:08] Subianto and President Abdul Fatah El-Sisi during
[00:24:11] their meeting at the Presidential Palace last
[00:24:15] Sunday, October 11, 2026, where
[00:24:18] in the bilateral meeting and joint press statement, President Prabowo
[00:24:22] Subianto conveyed that the two countries have
[00:24:26] agreed to push for the trade status
[00:24:29] to become an Economic Partnership Agreement or
[00:24:33] EPA. With this EPA, it is hoped that it will
[00:24:37] eliminate tariff and non-tariff
[00:24:40] barriers and will open up market access
[00:24:43] for Indonesian commodities as widely as possible
[00:24:46] to the Egyptian region and will also integrate the private
[00:24:50] sector. And with this EPA, it will also later
[00:24:54] be an opportunity for Indonesia to
[00:24:57] spread superior Indonesian commodities to
[00:25:01] Egypt. It is known that Egypt is a gateway
[00:25:04] for Indonesian products to be distributed to the
[00:25:08] African continent, Europe,
[00:25:11] and the Middle East, which also reminds that
[00:25:15] currently there is conflict in the Middle East and it also impacts
[00:25:18] the sea. And also this
[00:25:22] is an effort or a fresh breeze for the Indonesian private
[00:25:25] sector which will later distribute its superior
[00:25:28] products to the private sector or to the
[00:25:32] European region. This can be through Egypt if this
[00:25:35] EPA has been agreed upon and cooperated
[00:25:39] between the two countries. And with
[00:25:42] this EPA, it will also later optimize the trade
[00:25:45] balance between the two countries. And it is known that currently
[00:25:49] the trade balance between the two countries has indeed
[00:25:52] experienced a significant increase in the last
[00:25:56] 5 years. The trade balance grew by approximately 5.77%
[00:26:00] to 6.16% in the last
[00:26:03] 5 years, and in 2025 the trade
[00:26:07] balance reached 2.38
[00:26:09] 2,38
[00:26:11] billion US dollars with a positive trend
[00:26:15] and a surplus for Indonesia of
[00:26:17] 1.50 billion US
[00:26:20] dollars. And for this year 2026,
[00:26:24] from January to June, the figure also
[00:26:28] increased to 1.74
[00:26:31] billion US dollars. This means that it is also a surplus
[00:26:34] and positive for Indonesia. There are
[00:26:38] exported from Indonesia to Egypt, including
[00:26:41] CPO or palm oil, then coffee, tea, and
[00:26:45] organic chemical sectors, where CPO or palm oil has
[00:26:49] the largest portion of 50%. And
[00:26:52] as for Indonesia's import commodities from
[00:26:56] Egypt, they include
[00:26:59] fertilizers, salt, and agricultural products.
[00:27:02] In addition to promoting trade status to EPA,
[00:27:06] the two countries or two heads of state also encourage or agree
[00:27:09] to the formation of a joint investment
[00:27:12] fund or a joint
[00:27:15] investment fund where the CEO of the fund
[00:27:18] and also Investment Minister Rostan Lostanis
[00:27:22] has also stated that his party, through Danantara,
[00:27:25] will collaborate with a fund or
[00:27:28] a state-owned company from Egypt, which in this case is a fund.
[00:27:32] Rostan did not provide details about which Egyptian
[00:27:36] investment fund will cooperate with Danantara, because
[00:27:39] indeed, considering that Egypt has many
[00:27:43] investment institutions, the latest one being formed
[00:27:46] in 2026 is Al-Nilfan. However,
[00:27:49] professionals state that the first
[00:27:52] project will collaborate with the Egyptian investment fund
[00:27:56] in the field of palm oil. That's
[00:27:58] all, back to the studio.
[00:28:03] Yes, Kautsar, one more thing, you just mentioned the trade
[00:28:06] balance, which until this year
[00:28:10] is still in surplus for Indonesia. What about the future
[00:28:13] target?
[00:28:14] Yes,
[00:28:17] the future target, indeed, President El-Sisi has stated
[00:28:21] that the target for 2030
[00:28:24] is 5 billion US dollars
[00:28:28] or approximately 85
[00:28:31] to 89
[00:28:34] trillion for 2030, where
[00:28:37] this target becomes a joint effort between
[00:28:41] Indonesia and Egypt to stabilize the trade
