Indonesia is the Next Hot Private Equity Investment Destination

 

 

The rapid growth of the Indonesian economy has created opportunities for foreign investment, recorded at Rp35.4 trillion or US$3.8 billion across 424 projects, according to BKPM, the government’s investment agency. The Chairman of BKPM, Gita Wirjawan, will be speaking at the Private Equity Indonesia Summit 2010 on the 12th of October in Jakarta, an event organized by IQPC Worldwide, a global research and conference organizer.

The attraction of investment, according to one speaker at the summit Sandiaga S. Uno, Founding Partner of Saratoga Capital, comes from the fact that Indonesia is experiencing a demographic dividend phase. “The productive-age population bulges while the dependency ratio declines. This is a golden period for the country’s economic development and will ensure growth in domestic demand”. Socrates Rudy, director of PT ATPK Resources Tbk, further compared Indonesia’s offer in comparison to China and India: “Indonesia has a lower price-earnings ratio in most sectors compared to Shanghai and Mumbai, which definitely offers a better investment exit strategy for private equity.”

When asked about hot areas of investments, a number of analysts have recommended M&A deals in the retail and pharmaceutical sectors to be the most promising, though core interests remain in energy, mining, infrastructure and communications.

To foreign investors entering the Indonesian market, Sandiaga observed that “larger private equity firms are generally more interested in large-sized deals and less attracted by mid-sized ones. These deals play right into the hands of the middle-market players who are mostly domestic.” He further suggested private equity investors need to be “close to the ground to understand market trends and spot rising stars in the consumer goods sector” in order to take full advantage of the investment opportunities Indonesia has to offer.

Apart from Sandiaga S. Uno and Socrates Rudy, more than 50 private equity LPs and GPs will be in Jakarta on the 12th and 13th of October at the Private Equity Indonesia Summit 2010 to discuss the investment opportunities in this market.

Warning Global Warming - Pemanasan Global!

 

Pemanasan global

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas

Pemanasan global atau Global Warming adalah adanya proses peningkatan suhu rata-rata atmosfer, laut, dan daratan Bumi.

Suhu rata-rata global pada permukaan Bumi telah meningkat 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) selama seratus tahun terakhir. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) menyimpulkan bahwa, "sebagian besar peningkatan suhu rata-rata global sejak pertengahan abad ke-20 kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh meningkatnya konsentrasi gas-gas rumah kaca akibat aktivitas manusia"^[1] melalui efek rumah kaca. Kesimpulan dasar ini telah dikemukakan oleh setidaknya 30 badan ilmiah dan akademik, termasuk semua akademi sains nasional dari negara-negara G8. Akan tetapi, masih terdapat beberapa ilmuwan yang tidak setuju dengan beberapa kesimpulan yang dikemukakan IPCC tersebut.

Model iklim yang dijadikan acuan oleh projek IPCC menunjukkan suhu permukaan global akan meningkat 1.1 hingga 6.4 °C (2.0 hingga 11.5 °F) antara tahun 1990 dan 2100.^[1] Perbedaan angka perkiraan itu disebabkan oleh penggunaan skenario-skenario berbeda mengenai emisi gas-gas rumah kaca di masa mendatang, serta model-model sensitivitas iklim yang berbeda. Walaupun sebagian besar penelitian terfokus pada periode hingga 2100, pemanasan dan kenaikan muka air lautdiperkirakan akan terus berlanjut selama lebih dari seribu tahun walaupun tingkat emisi gas rumah kaca telah stabil.^[1] Ini mencerminkan besarnya kapasitas panas dari lautan.

Meningkatnya suhu global diperkirakan akan menyebabkan perubahan-perubahan yang lain seperti naiknya permukaan air laut, meningkatnya intensitas fenomena cuaca yang ekstrim,^[2] serta perubahan jumlah dan pola presipitasi. Akibat-akibat pemanasan global yang lain adalah terpengaruhnya hasil pertanian, hilangnya gletser, dan punahnya berbagai jenis hewan.

Beberapa hal-hal yang masih diragukan para ilmuwan adalah mengenai jumlah pemanasan yang diperkirakan akan terjadi di masa depan, dan bagaimana pemanasan serta perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi tersebut akan bervariasi dari satu daerah ke daerah yang lain. Hingga saat ini masih terjadi perdebatan politik dan publik di dunia mengenai apa, jika ada, tindakan yang harus dilakukan untuk mengurangi atau membalikkan pemanasan lebih lanjut atau untuk beradaptasi terhadap konsekuensi-konsekuensi yang ada. Sebagian besar pemerintahan negara-negara di dunia telah menandatangani dan meratifikasi Protokol Kyoto, yang mengarah pada pengurangan emisi gas-gas rumah kaca.

How to Start Green Business!

How to Start a Green Business

Glad you asked... It is easy to start a green business. You can start by using energy efficient light bulbs or by planting trees. Also you can do car pooling to be considered a green business. Just simply be energy efficient and clean.   Go green by: 1. Turning off equipment when it's not being used. This can reduce the energy used by 25 percent; turning off the computers at the end of the day can save an additional 50 percent. 2. Encouraging communications by email, and reading email messages onscreen to determine whether it's necessary to print them. If it's not, don't! 3. Reducing fax-related paper waste by using a fax-modem and by using a fax cover sheet only when necessary. Fax-modems allow documents to be sent directly from a computer, without requiring a printed hard copy. 4. Producing double-sided documents whenever possible. 5. Not leaving taps dripping; always close them tightly after use. (One drop wasted per second wastes 10,000 litres per year.) 6. Installing displacement toilet dams in toilet reservoirs. Placing one or two plastic containers filled with stones (not bricks) in the toilet's reservoir will displace about 4 litres of water per flush - a huge reduction of water use over the course of a year. 7. Finding a supply of paper with maximum available recycled content. 8. Choosing suppliers who take back packaging for reuse. 9. Instigating an ongoing search for "greener" products and services in the local community. The further your supplies or service providers have to travel, the more energy will be used to get them to you. 10. Before deciding whether you need to purchase new office furniture, see if your existing office furniture can be refurbished. It's less expensive than buying new and better for the environment.
