Impacts on the world economy of higher oil prices
• For every $US10 per barrel rise in oil prices, world economic growth falls by 0.6%– BUT very different effects across countries
(see www.economicscenarios.com)
• Significant potential to slow economic growth but unlikely to create a global recession
9
Impacts of higher oil prices on Indonesia
• Indonesia is a significant liquid energy producer – 1.4 million barrels/day out of world total of 76 million
barrels/day or 3.8% of OPEC in 2003
• Higher oil prices should be a bonanza through higher export revenue but domestic use is subsidized by the central government and so instead there are severe strains on the fiscal position
10
Short term outlook
• World economic growth is strong• Oil prices are high and possibly rising• Global imbalances are serious a risk
11
Global Imbalances
• Current accounts reflect gaps between savings and investment in different countries

2 main sources of the Transpacific Trade Imbalance
• Sharp rise in US fiscal deficits• Large fall in public and private investment in East Asia

The adjustment to the global shift in savings and investment imbalances has been postponed through massive accumulation of foreign reserves in Asia

Global Climate Policy
• Global community is formulating actions to reduce carbon emissions– Kyoto Protocol 1997 set binding targets and timetables for
Industrial countries • A damaging approach for a country like Indonesia
– Developing country participation mainly through the Clean Development Mechanism but this is unlikely to generate much abatement activity
• Global action against climate change (such as the Kyoto Protocol) will impact on Indonesia in the short run– Indonesia exports fossil fuel energy– Indonesia will have to limit domestic emissions eventually
34
Indonesia needs to adopt a strategy that makes economic development and good environmental outcomes compatible.
• Well defined property rights over resources and the environment are critical
• Can link the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and management of forestry, other resources and land use through a domestic market based mechanism such as the McKibbin-Wilcoxen Blueprint for climate policy
• It is in Indonesia’s interest to promote (and implement) better approaches to climate policy than the flawed Kyoto Protocol
35
Conclusion
• Indonesia faces a complex global environment with risks from higher oil prices and potential adjustment to global macroeconomic imbalances
• Issues such as land use, forestry, and carbon emissions have local as well as global implications that will eventually require local responses
• Need to tackle these issues in the short run– remove energy subsidies – create a clear system of property rights that give incentives for
future investments in energy infrastructure, forestry and land use management
