Executive summary Back to Java
5 February 2014 merlissa.trisno@clsa.com 3
Back to Java
More than six years after our seminal Not just Jakarta report, we go Back to
Java to gauge this densely populated islands development, especially outside
the metropolis. Over the past few months, our intrepid team trekked across
Java to see the progress first-hand. What did we find? The provinces are
booming and growth should continue to outstrip that in the capital as
decentralisation continues. An expanding middle class, strong credit growth and
new infrastructure investment cycle will drive the expansion. Companies with a
sound strategy and a strong foothold in Java ex-Jakarta will be the winners.
Forming more than half of Indonesias population with 37m households, Java is
the worlds most populous island and is still adding 2m people every year. A
growing middle class (driven by rapid urbanisation), widening labour cost gap
(Jakarta minimum wage is double the Java average), and lower penetration of
consumer products have led to an accelerating business expansion shift from
Greater Jakarta to other Java regions. Eventually, money will follow the
demographics and cheap labour will attract business people.
Jakartas GDP growth lagged the total of Javas provinces for the first time in
2012, although this is based on preliminary data. This is due to
decentralisation efforts, which have given greater control to local
governments. Some early indicators also suggest that expansion in Java ex-
Jakarta regions has been accelerating, be it for investment, bank loans,
cement or the retail sector. Outer Javas low base will also allow for strong
growth potential in the long term.
We hit the ground over the past few months to get a feel for some of the fastest-
growing cities in Java as well as commodity-exposed islands like Sumatra and
Kalimantan to see the purchasing-power trend. Our team of intrepid investigators
visited 13 cities and spoke with the locals to gauge the situation today. Our
conclusion? The Java provinces are booming and Java ex-Jakarta growth should
continue to outstrip that in the capital for some time to come. We believe the
growth will flourish from West to Central and East Java in the future.
Companies with a great strategy and strong foothold in Java ex-Jakarta
regions should benefit. We like retail chain Ace Hardware, banks BCA and
BTN, cement producer Indocement, healthcare player Kalbe Farma,
developer Pakuwon, gas distributor Perusahaan Gas, textiles firm Sritex,
mobile operator Telkom and infrastructure group Wijaya Karya.

The rise of Java regions
Nations need attractive cities to attract businesses and talents. Great
cities are not predestined, but rather created by designs and based on
key decisions. Development of the environmental, social and cultural
aspects is crucial.
Mike Harcourt, co-author of City Making in Paradise
Indonesia is big and diverse, with over 17,000 islands, 240m people and 360
ethnic groups. Since the fall of Suharto in 1998, the country has embarked on
a radical experiment to prevent it from breaking apart, while gradually
striving to create more attractive cities, thanks to decentralisation.
It is also encouraging to see the latest leaders elections in some of the
largest cities like Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya being won by the reformers
(see their profiles in Appendix 2). Voters in Java regions are becoming more
sophisticated due to growing internet penetration.

With decentralisation in place, regional growth should continue to outstrip
the centre, supported by a strong demographic profile, a widening
minimum-wage gap and faster investment flow to the cities, albeit less so in
outer Java due to soft-commodity price volatility. The Java ex-Jakarta
regions should continue to expand their power and companies exposed to
this will be big winners.
Powerful demographics
Forming more than 50% of Indonesias population, Java is the most populous
island in the world with nearly 140m people. Javas land area is one-third that
of Japan but it has a larger population and is adding about 2m people every
year compared with Japan, which is losing 250k people). By simple
extrapolation, Javas population will be double that of Japan within 50 years.
Java (including Jakarta) has nearly 37m households in total - similar to the
Philippines and Thailand combined - with West Java having the highest
number. Out of Indonesias top five provinces with the largest number of
households, four are located in Java.

Population by geography Minimum wage
Source: BPS
A growing middle class (driven by rapid urbanisation), widening labour cost
discrepancy (Jakartas minimum wage is double the Java average), and low
penetration have led to the shift from Greater Jakarta to other Java regions.
Eventually, money will follow the demographics and cheap labour will attract
business people (particularly labour-intensive industries).
We are already seeing some companies, such as Pan Brothers, moving their
production facilities from Greater Jakarta to other Java cities. Initially, the
reason to expand to Central Java was more labour availability in Central Java,
not cost. But, as the minimum wage discrepancy widens, the company has
preferred to expand capacity in its Central Java facility.
In 2007, the company started its Central Java operation with about 1k sewing
machines, or 30% of its total capacity. Currently, the Central Java facility runs
about 10k sewing machines, or 75% of the total capacity and still rising.
Fruits of decentralisation
Jakartas GDP growth for the first time lagged the total of Javas provinces in
2012, though this is still based on preliminary figures. This makes sense as
decentralisation has given greater control to local governments, thereby
aiding the development of Javas provinces. With Suharto no longer
controlling the purse strings and the economy in better shape, more central
government money has flowed.
GDP growth Jakarta vs Java Infrastructure spending

Regional autonomy has also coincided with another long-run demographic
trend: urbanisation, which consequently leads to some logistics challenges in
the country. Infrastructure spending has continued to rise for both government
and private sectors. Government infrastructure spending saw a 28% Cagr
during 2009-12 and a chunky 52% Cagr for the private sector over the same
period, which implies about 2.6% of GDP as of 2012, the highest ever.

Indonesia still has long way to go. However, thanks to decentralisation, local
problems allow for local solutions. These logistics problems create more
opportunities for both public and private sectors, eg, Jasa Marga is to build
200km of new toll-road sections within three years, while AKR Corp and
Kawasan Industri Jababeka are developing industrial estates in East Java and
Central Java, respectively.
Some early indicators also suggest that Java ex-Jakarta growth has been
accelerating, be it in investment, bank loans, cement or the retail sector.
Outer Javas low base will also trigger strong growth potential in the longer
term, yet the short-term outlook is less rosy given the low-commodity
price burden.

Hitting the ground, getting a feel!
We hit the ground to get a feel for some of the fastest-growing cities in Java
as well as commodity-exposed islands like Sumatra and Kalimantan to see the
purchasing-power trend. Sumatra and Kalimantan have about 50% of
employees working in the agriculture and mining industries, in contrast to
Java ex-Jakarta, which has more manufacturing capability.
Our conclusion? The Java provinces are booming and Java ex-Jakarta growth
should continue to outstrip the centre for some time to come. We believe the
growth will flourish from West to Central and East Java in the future.

We provide fresh on-the-ground perspective on 13 cities spread over three key
islands. This report is not a catch-all to these themes, the island is too broad to
do it in just one report. Rather we have tried to highlight future growth potential
and better understand how these will propel the country going forward.

Stocks to own
Our medium-term strategy is based on the view that Java ex-Jakarta growth
should accelerate given powerful demographics; strong bank-loan growth;
and a new investment cycle with massive infrastructure development.
Companies with great strategies and strong footholds in Java ex-Jakarta
should benefit. We also consider their penetration of provinces and the
sustainability of their strategies. We like BCA, BTN, Perusahaan Gas,
Indocement, Pakuwon, Kalbe Farma, Ace Hardware, Telkom, Wijaya Karya
and Sritex.

Java fast facts
Lots of people
Java is the worlds most populous island. Although it
is only the 13
th
largest in the world in terms of its
size, it is home to 136 million people. The population
density is over 1,000 people per square kilometre.
By GDP, Java comes 30
th
in the world, ahead of
every other Asean country, assuming around
US$380bn in GDP. If Java was a country, it would be
the 10
th
largest by population.
The biggest tribe
The Javanese are Indonesias largest tribe with
more than 100 million people. Their ancestors are
thought to have originated in Taiwan and migrated
through the Philippines, reaching Java between
1,500BC and 1,000BC.
Kopi Jawa
Coffee has been one of the biggest
exports since the Dutch began
cultivation in the 17
th
Century. The local
Kopi Jawa is a distinct style of coffee
that is very strong, black and sweet.
The birth place of presidents
Every president, from Soekarno
to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono,
is Javanese. BJ Habibie was the
only exception, yet this was
during a transition period from
the New Order to the
Reformation era. On many
occasions, they will choose a
running partner from outside
Java to boost their popularity
with the non-Java people.
Accounting for 53% of the
population, Javanese people will play an important
role this year in determining the next president.
Traditional Gamelan music
The 1889 Paris Exposition
Universelle hosted many
musical groups from
exotic countries and one
was the Javanese
Gamelan. It was there
that French composer
Claude Debussy first
heard a performance by the Java ensemble.
Debussy was so impressed with what he heard
that it influenced his later works. The piece most
often quoted as an example of gamelans influence
on Debussy is Pagodes, from the piece Estampes
of 1903. Gamelan is a collection of mostly metallic
musical instruments, with gong or bell-like sounds.
Borobudur Temple
Built in the 9
th
Century, this is
the worlds oldest Buddhist
temple. Located in Magelang
in Central Java, the monument
is a shrine to Lord Buddha and
is the countrys single most
visited tourist attraction.
Lots of eruptions
Situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia has
abundant volcanoes. There are over 30 in Java alone.
One of the most active is Mount Merapi, which lies
2,968 metres above sea level. In 1930, one eruption
destroyed 13 villages and killed over 1,400 people.

Powerful demographics
Forming more than half of Indonesias population, Java is the most populous
island in the world with nearly 140m people. Javas land area is one-third that
of Japan but it has a much larger population, with around 2m new additions
every year while Japans population dropped by a record 250k people last
year. Java overtook Japan in 2010 and, by simple extrapolation, Javas
population will be more than double Japans within 50 years.
Java (including Jakarta) has nearly 37m households in total - similar to the
Philippines and Thailand combined - with West Java home to the most
households. Of the top-five provinces with the largest household numbers in
Indonesia, four are located in Java with North Sumatra joining this group.

Indeed, Java has eight cities with populations over a million, with Medan and
Palembang (Sumatra) as well as Makassar (Sulawesi) joining this group.
Jakarta is the second-most crowded city in the world, behind Salsette (India),
as anyone who has experienced Jakarta traffic can attest. Despite being
densely populated, unemployment in Java (ex-Jakarta) still hovers at a
manageable level of 6.6%, much lower than Jakartas 9.9%.

In 2008, for the first time ever, half of the world population lived in cities. For
Indonesia, it was in 2010 when half of the countrys population lived in urban
areas. The figure was 13% in 1990. By 2050, up to three-quarters of the
worlds population will be urbanised and most of the incremental growth will
be in Asian second-tier cities, according to the UN.

A growing middle class (driven by rapid urbanisation), widening labour cost
discrepancy, and low penetration of consumer products have led to the
business expansion shift from Greater Jakarta to other Java regions.
Eventually, money will follow the demographics and cheap labour will attract
business people (particularly labour-intensive industries).
Indonesia in maps
Back in September 2009, we
published our Unveiling the
Komodo report, which aimed to
illustrate Indonesias economy
through maps. Through graphical
representations, the report shows
the countrys demographics, the
industries, the services, the
natural resources, the transport
infrastructure, the finance
networks as well as the popular
tourist areas.
Beyond its ethnic and cultural diversity, Indonesia is
blessed with an abundance of natural resources.
Globally, it is the largest thermal-coal exporter and
palm-oil producer, and the third-largest natural-gas
exporter. It also boasts the worlds biggest gold mine.
But many of these assets are located in remote regions,
far from the modern world. Our maps and charts
provide investors with a better understanding of the
global significance of such commodities.

Already, we see some companies, such as Pan Brothers, moving their
production facilities from Greater Jakarta to other Java cities. Established in
1980 in Tangerang, Greater Jakarta, it is Indonesias largest garment
manufacturer employing about 18,500 employees.
In 2007, the company started its Central Java operation with about 1,000
sewing machines or about 30% of the firms total capacity. This facility now
operates with about 10,000 sewing machines or 75% of the total capacity and
is still expanding. Meanwhile, the Tangerang production facility did not see
any expansion.
Initially, the reason for expanding to Central Java was down to more labour
availability, not cost. In terms of labour skill (productivity), the company
claims that Central Javas labour productivity was low at first and eventually
caught up; they just needed a learning period. Going forward, it will focus its
expansion on the Central Java facility due to cost advantages and will leave
the Tangerang facility as it is.

Indeed, low penetration is also a key attraction to invest in Java regions as it
still offers huge room to grow. Data from cement and retailers suggest that
penetration is at least about three times higher in the Jakarta region, as
measured by sales/GDP ratio and home-improvement spending per capita.

Section 2: Fruits of decentralisation Back to Java

Fruits of decentralisation
With decentralisation in place, we see greater opportunity for Indonesia to
create more attractive cities (see Section 3 for in-depth discussion on these
cities). In fact, Jakartas GDP growth for the first time lagged that for the total
of Javas provinces in 2012, although this is still based on preliminary data.
This makes sense, in our view, as decentralisation has given greater control
to local governments, thereby aiding the development of Javas provinces.
The country has developed quickly since the end of Suhartos dictatorship in
1998. With Suharto no longer controlling the purse strings and the economy
in better shape, more central government money has flowed to the outer
provinces. See our July 2012 report, Otonomi daerah, for more.

As the nation needs more attractive cities to lure businesses and talent, it is
encouraging to see that the latest leaders elections in some of the largest cities
like Jakarta, Bandung and Surabaya won by the reformers (see Appendix 2 for
their profiles). Definitely, voters in Java are becoming more sophisticated due
to growing internet penetration.

At the Jakarta gubernatorial election in 2012, Joko Widodo - better known as
Jokowi - won the contest despite scepticism over the trustworthiness of the
electoral process. Jokowi received 42% of the votes in the first round and
because no candidates achieved more than 50%, Jakarta conducted a second
round of voting, whereby Jokowi won 54% of the votes.

Logistics: Challenge yet opportunity
Regional autonomy has also coincided with another long-run demographic
trend: urbanisation. Over time, this will lead to greater budgets needed for
infrastructure and education. For sure, logistics is the key challenge to
penetrate into the Indonesian market, yet there is opportunity for incumbents
with vast distribution network to maintain their competitiveness.
The logistics challenge serves as a great entry barrier in the short term, with
Indonesia logistics costs one of the highest in the region. The nations total
logistics costs account for 27% of GDP, with transport expenses contributing
about 50% of the cost.

Jakartas Tanjung Priok port, for example, has a dwelling time of 8.7 days,
compared to five days in Thailand and 1.2 days in Singapore due to border
administration issues, business practices and poor road infrastructure.
Consequently, terminal handling charges in Indonesia is the highest after
Hong Kong.
Research by The Asia Foundation and University of Indonesia in 2008 found
that the operational cost of trucks in Indonesia was 34 cents per kilometre,
50% higher than average cost for all of Asia.

What does our on-the-ground check show?
In our latest Komodo report, our roving analyst
Amie Liem took a road trip from Jakarta to
Central Javas Semarang. From her adventure,
we conclude that it is very slow for people to
move things from one place to another.
The average speed is 58km/hour versus 97km/hour in
China and 110km/hour in America; Amies Jakarta-
Semarang-Klaten-Jakarta trip used more than 315.5km of
toll roads, or 42% of Indonesias
total toll-road network, spending
over 20 hours in total and
traversing more than half of Jasa
Margas toll roads.

Indonesia definitely has long way to go. However, thanks to decentralisation,
local problems allow for local solutions. These logistic problems are gradually
being addressed.
The logistics challenge has lifted infrastructure spending for both government
and the private sector. Government infrastructure spending jumped by a 28%
Cagr during 2009-12 and a chunky 52% Cagr for private firms, which implies
about 2.6% of GDP as of 2012, the highest ever.
Opportunity for public . . .
Indonesian toll-road operator Jasa Marga, for example, plans to develop close
to 200km new section within the next three years, or about an additional
30% on top its current portfolio.

Two large-scale industrial estate projects in Central and East Java plan to
capitalise upon industrial investment in alternate locations outside Jakarta.
AKR Corporindo and its joint-venture partner, the state-owned ports
corporation Pelindo 3, plan to construct a 2,150-hectare estate between
Gresik and Surabaya in East Java while Kawasan Industri Jababeka (KIJA)
and its partner Sembcorp of Singapore plan to construct a 2,770-hectare
estate in Central Java near Semarang.
To make investment attractive by export-focused industries (both local and
international), each has allocated space for an adjacent port. At present, the
average undeveloped industrial estate space is about 20km away from the
nearest port facility. The total cost of AKRs project is estimated to be around
Rp10tn (US$870m) over a 5-10-year period with the joint venture recently
securing Rp3tn (US$261m) in debt commitments for phase 1.

Both estates plan to sell land in stages with about 70% of the designated
area being able to be developed by industry, commencing first with heavy
industry (such as metal smelting) then medium density (agriculture and
fertilisers for instance) and then light commercial. The projects also have
residential areas held adjacent, such as AKRs which will have 700 hectares of
residential land (external to the project).

For these projects to be attractive, the differential in wages between the
respective locations and Greater Jakarta needs to persist and the usual
logistical challenges have to be overcome, including land acquisition (AKR
currently has 900 hectares or about half its planned area), permits and
infrastructure connection with nearby road and rail networks.
Some early indicators
Within the last five years, bank loan growth in Java has been growing above
20% level, despite a high base (25% of total loan), while the latest bank loan
data suggest that the growth has been accelerating in Java areas.
Mapping Batavia
Our property team has produced a series of maps on properties in Jakarta.
These have featured the capitals landmark properties (Batavia Reborn),
industrial estates (Industrious Batavia) and retail malls (Shopping in Batavia).
They provide a practical and user-friendly guide to Greater Jakartas developing

Supporting the growth is domestic investment as well as foreign direct
investment (FDI) which has continued to pour into Java (ex-Jakarta) regions
despite the high base. FDI in Java ex-Jakarta has increased by 20% within
2007-12 Cagr and now represents about 49% of total FDI as of 3Q13 (vs.
39% in 2012).

Domestic investment data also suggests that the growth in Java (ex-Jakarta)
regions has been accelerating much faster in 2013, despite the high base. Up
to 1H13, domestic investment in Java (ex-Jakarta) areas rose by 87% YoY, as
compared to the national average of 50%.
Consequently, cement sales in Java (ex-Jakarta) areas has also shown a
strong recovery trend, contributing about 47% of total national sales as of
2013 and showing the strongest growth of 8.1% in 2013 (versus national
average of 5.5%).

As suggested by the data below, it seems that most retailers delivered higher

like Unilever also claimed similar.

Section 3: Hitting the ground, getting a feel! Back to Java
22 merlissa.trisno@clsa.com 5 February 2014
Hitting the ground, getting a feel!
We hit the ground to get a feel for some of the fastest-growing cities in Java
as well as commodity-exposed islands like Sumatra and Kalimantan to see the
purchasing-power trend. Our conclusion? The provinces are booming and Java
ex-Jakarta growth should continue to outstrip the centre for some time to
come. We believe growth will flourish from the West to Central and East Java
in the future.
We believe purchasing power in outer-Java regions such as Sumatra and
Kalimantan will continue to be more volatile following soft commodity prices.
Sumatra and Kalimantan have about 50% of employees working in the
agriculture and mining industries, in contrast to Java ex-Jakarta, which has a
large manufacturing base.

Jakarta: Were jamming
In musing about writing a discussion paper on Jakarta while looking over the
sea in Sulawesi on the Idul Adha holiday and getting ready to sacrifice a cow
for the local villagers, the word that popped in to my head to describe Jakarta
today was Cosmopolitan.
The more I thought about it, I realised it was true. The number of new meeting
places (including our many brand new, high-quality malls such as Grand
Indonesia, Gandaria City and Lippo Mall) along with events such as Jakarta
Fashion Week, the restaurants which cater to all tastes (and pockets) has
dramatically changed the habits of local Jakartans and is spread rapidly with the
increasing connectivity between the Big Durian and other parts of the country as
evidenced by the massive increase in air travel across the archipelago.
Last year, my favourite events were the visits by three English Premier
League teams (Arsenal and two other more minor teams - in my opinion -
Manchester Utd and Chelsea). To put my observations in perspective, I have
been visiting Jakarta since 1984, a frequent flyer since 1995 from Singapore,
a property owner since 2000 by virtue of being married to an Indonesian and
a resident since 2004. In my view, there is no more exciting place to live in
the world, despite our many challenges.

One of the takeaways from our original Not just Jakarta and Enter the
Komodo! themes was that increases in agricultural and commodity prices in
the provinces would slow, or possibly reverse, the move from the villages to
the cities and Jakarta in particular. This has not proved to be the case for a
number of reasons due in part to commodity prices themselves having come
off, but also due to the fact that Jakarta has become an even more attractive
place to live (and work if you can get a job) over the past five years, of
course with the sole exception of our notorious traffic.
Talking of traffic, there have been a number of initiatives to improve traffic
flow, such as the banning of heavy trucks except from the hours of 10pm to
5am in central Jakarta, which, while it may not have done a lot for traffic, has
certainly improved the atmosphere downtown. The completion of the Antasari
flyover on the outskirts of Kemang has changed traffic patterns considerably,
making the journey to and from work much better for residents.
The imminent completion of the Casablanca flyover will hopefully have an equally
beneficial effect on the notorious bottleneck there. This will be important for the
development of what I remember being described by Pak Chandra Ciputra some
years ago as Jakartas future Orchard Road, with the opening of four new malls
over the past three years, including Ciputra World.

The other most notable feature of the traffic in Jakarta has been the
improvement in the age and quality of the cars (and buses) on the streets,
more evidence of the general upward movement of the population, which is
contributing, to a degree, to the improved environment. There has certainly
been no impact on traffic volumes due to the various increases in fuel prices,
proving that subsidies are totally unnecessary and the monies would be
better spent on adding road and other infrastructure.
It will be interesting to see over the next few years what impact the proposed
MRT will have, firstly on making our famous macet or traffic jam initially
significantly worse as we have seen in other places in the region such as
Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok and later in improving the travel times and
comfort and convenience of public transport
In our household, we have taken our own initiatives to deal with higher fuel
prices and reduce pollution. The first was the purchase of a three-wheeler
cycle including an integral wire shopping basket (which fits the dog too!) and,
most importantly, Starbucks coffee holder, from our favourite Ace Hardware
at a cost of Rp5 million, which is now used for local shopping rather than the
car and also a fun way to exercise.

One of the ways we have found to deal with the traffic problems, which limits
our ability to meet (clients) face to face, is to arrange meetings in locations
everyone is happy to go to, such as Pacific Place Mall, which is both in the
SCBD and has a wide array of meeting places.
For example, a day of meetings could include breakfast at the Ritz Carlton,
coffee at Starbucks and Liberica, lunch at Potatohead or Sopra, further
meetings in the offices around the mall and dinner at another of the
restaurants in the area, so achieving seven or eight meetings in a day as
opposed to a maximum of four going from office to office.

This doesnt count all the informal meetings with all the other bankers doing
the same thing! Efficient, saving on the environment by reducing traffic flows,
but maybe not so good for the waistline (but its ok, the mall has a gym). The
use of in-car Wi-Fi is beginning to take off, which is partly a result of the time
we do spend in traffic and the poor signal quality generally of our wireless
service operators. Incidentally this latter explains why we Jakartans each have
so many mobile phones, we need at least two to have two operators and one
foreign (Singapore) registered simply to ensure continuity of service.
The election of the fresh (and untainted) new governor of Jakarta, Pak Jokowi
in 2012 and the acts his team has taken to push forward the Jakarta MRT and
monorail and in repositioning some of the detriments to traffic flow such as
the street vendors around Tanah Abang have given us great encouragement
that a real focus has been given to improving the situation and I may be
going against the accepted wisdom, but the traffic flows do seem on normal
days (ie, not floods or APEC forums) to be better.
Another notable feature of Jakarta over the past few years has been the
dramatic increase in the usage of English (not helpful to those of us who want
to practice our Bahasa Indonesia). In talking to young Jakartans in hotels,
malls and restaurants as well as family, a lot of this seems to have been
driven by the desire to have full access to the internet, compounded by the
increased availability of access to cable TV through First Media (Lippo),
Indovision (MNC) and TelkomVision (Telkom).
Indonesians are very big on technology and we have been the second-largest
users of BlackBerrys for a number of years. This is good news for Indonesias
ability to participate in the global economy, where for good or bad, English is
a prerequisite and is only likely to further encourage FDI as well as being
good for the tourist industry, which perhaps with the exception of Bali, is still
in its infancy.

Perhaps partly as a result of our traffic problems and the access to cable TV
and YouTube etc (and of course our general weather, so the need for air
conditioners), Jakartans have taken to a mall culture, especially where all
needs are catered to; shopping, eating, bookshops, cinemas, childrens play
areas (Kidzania at Pacific Place has to be experienced to be believed),
hairdressing salons (a daily visit is entirely normal for Indonesian ladies) and
of course gyms are available as well as the most important (family) Karaoke
rooms. An increasing number of more middle to upper-tier brands are
arriving, not just the ultra-luxury goods. For example, we recently attended
the opening of the first H&M store in Gandaria City (Pakuwon) and it was
packed for days!
Figure 53 Figure 54

The malls are not just venues for the more affluent to attend either, the
increases in general earnings exemplified by the large hikes in minimum wage
have allowed a broad range of shoppers to go to the malls. Many of the newer
and European fusion types of restaurants-cum-bars that have opened up
(many associated with the newer malls), such as Potatohead at Pacific Place,
Loewys in Kuningan, Union at Plaza Senayan and most recently Odysseia (just
outside the ultra-chic Galeries Lafayette, French cool) and which, according to
my London-based, sophisticated foodie son and daughter-in-law has, fantastic
ambiance, great food, we could really do with one of these in London.

The less well-off consumers are also catered for too, one example of which is
the (now much copied) 7-11 franchise here, with its 24-hours opening,
coffee, slurpy and hot dog offerings among others, which has gone from zero
to 140 stores in only three years and is a huge hit with teenagers/students.
One impact of the devolution of power from the centre to the provinces
through the regional autonomy programmes has been the increased demand
for air travel, such that Jakartas main airport Soekarno Hatta is bursting at
the seams, now processing up to 50 million passengers a years from a design
capacity of 20. Hence, starting early this year, some domestic routes have
been diverted to Halim Perdanakusuma airport

This has meant an influx of people from the provinces, both on commercial
and political business who have recently been buying second homes, mainly
apartments, no doubt adding to the property price inflation we have seen but
is also having other impacts on the demand for (private) schooling for their
children who would rather study here than at home. This has also incidentally
increased the demand for Jakarta favourites like Starbucks to open in these
peoples home cities to cater to these expat Jakartans.
For example, our home town in Sulawesi now boasts a J.Co (Indonesian
doughnut and coffee shop, reputedly and bizarrely in a country which loves its
sugar, less sweet than Dunkin Donut or Krispy Kreme) as well as a Solaria
(a local chain of restaurants) as well as a Lippo Group hypermart in its first
mall developed by the Kencana Group. This minor city, which only became a
province in the past 10 years, now has five flights a day to Jakarta, by each
of Garuda (2), Lion (2) and Sriwijaya. All flights have heavy load factors.
On a recent trip to Surabaya, trying to change a Garuda flight back to
Jakarta, it proved impossible to get on any other flight, including business
class as all flights full. This on a Sunday from a city which Garuda has 112
flights a week, implying close to 300 once the other airlines such as Lion,
Sriwijaya, Air Asia Indonesia and (the newly resurrected) Mandala are
included. The inevitable conclusion from this, despite the recent turmoil in the
equity markets, is crisis, what crisis?

Sitting here in Jakarta, it is hard to ignore the problems with infrastructure we
face on a daily basis and it is clear the new government (with parliament and
presidential elections scheduled in April and July 2014 respectively) will have to
deal with the subsidy issue as soon as possible in order to free up money to
invest in the road, rail, water treatment, schooling, healthcare issues we face.
However, it is hard not to feel optimistic about the future given the huge progress
we have seen since the Asian financial crisis in particular and the countrys ability
to withstand external shocks as we saw during the global financial crisis (which
was a six-month event here). I hope to have the privilege to still be here in what
will by then be the dominant Southeast Asian economy by some distance and
Jakarta will still be the best city to work and have fun.

Serpong - Greater Jakarta
We visited thriving Serpong in South Tangerang, a West Jakarta suburb and
home to many prominent developers such as Summarecon, Bumi Serpong
and Alam Sutera. The face of Serpong has changed dramatically in recent
years, from just residential housing estates to a full-blown township where we
are seeing a notable increase in commercial activities.
It is not a surprise that the population in South Tangerang, including Serpong,
had increased by about 50% since 2007. In the past two years, the
population has grown by 4.2% pa, or 57,000 people (which translates into
11,400 households); the highest population growth in Banten province; and
tripled the growth of the total Indonesian population.

From previously just landed housing, we are seeing more and more vertical
development, including apartments, a rare sight previously. With the growth
of population in the city we have also seen numerous facilities being added to
the community such as schools, universities and hospitals etc.

Serpong developers mentioned that it is not enough to just sell houses
anymore - but to ensure steady demand growth for its residential projects,
they have to try to boost job creation by building offices and more
commercial areas.
Hence, Alam Sutera Realty launched The Prominence office, and Bumi
Serpongs Green Office Park is under development with Unilever Indonesia in
the process of building its headquarter in the park. The Green Park has been
awarded the 1

Bandung - West Java
West Java is the most populous province in Indonesia. Its capital, Bandung,
was formerly known as the Paris of Java due to its European-style
architecture. The countrys third-largest city and second-largest metropolitan
area in Indonesia had a 2.4m population as of 2010.
The city is well known for its volcanoes and large tea plantations. A 54km toll
road linking Bandung and Jakarta (Cipularang), completed by April 2005, has
made it easier to reach the city, cutting travel time from four hours to two.

Nowadays, some strategic spots along the Cipularang toll road have also been
used for advertising purpose. We noticed advertisements for cigarette maker,
Djarum, as well as political party, Hanura (The Peoples Conscience Party),
whereby the party has officially nominated its chairman Gen Wiranto and
media tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibyo as President and Vice President candidates
respectively for the upcoming 2014 election.
A popular weekend destination
Bandung is now a popular weekend destination of Jakarta residents due to its
cooler climate, food varieties, kids attraction and cheaper fashion shops
located in mushrooming factory outlets in the city. More and more car-plate
license of B (Jakarta) can be seen across the city, which eventually leads to
worsening traffic during weekends.
Bandung is the city of fashion in Indonesia with many interesting places to
shop such as Cihampelas street for jeans, Cibaduyut for shoes maniac, and
ample of factory outlets/boutiques mainly in Setiabudi, Riau, and Dago areas.
Textile factories on the outskirts of Bandung have opened factory outlets in the
cities to sell products which are rejected or over-produced export quality items.

Besides fashion, Bandung is also famous for its food, be it simple traditional
cuisine like Kingsleys fried tofu/meatball (batagor in Bahasa) or a caf with
breath-taking view like Boemi Joglo.
For foodies, Bandung is definitely the best place to buy banana pies/brownies
with some famous brands such as Kartika Sari, Prima Rasa and Amanda. We
even saw some growing their business and distributing their products outside of
Bandung city. Kartika Sari also has online shop (http://store.kartikasari.com/),
which can also deliver to Singapore and Malaysia.

As a parent with two kids, Bandung is such an attractive city to bring them
along. The latest kids attractions include the Kampung Gajah theme park and
the floating market in Lembang. Kampung Gajah has more than 20 amazing
attractions and is still very affordable for most Indonesian consumers. To
enter, a visitor needs to pay Rp10k (US$90) during weekday and Rp20k
(US$1.80) on weekends, on top of another US$90 for car.

Mid/high-end retailers are more optimistic
During our visit, we caught up with both mid/low retailer like Ramayana as well
as mid/high-end retailers like Ace Hardware and Mitra Adiperkasa. While the
store manager of Ramayana looked sceptical about the business due to higher
operating cost and competition, the managers at Ace and Mitra Adiperkasa
stores were excited and optimistic on business prospect going forward.
Interestingly, Aces store performance in the Istana Building Commodities
Center (IBCC) was also impressive despite the competition with traditional
home-improvement stores in the IBCC complex.

We were also quite impressed with the management quality at ACE whereby
CEO Prabowo Widyakrisnadi himself still made store visits three times a year.
This also translates to stronger employee motivation and the fact that 10% of
its staff are still studying adds to another interesting highlight of our visit.
In the case of Mitra Adiperkasa, it occupied about 44% space at the Paris van
Java (PvJ) Mall, designed by West Java-based architect Ir. Wawa Sulaeman, who
is also the key man behind the Pondok Indah Mall 1 (South Jakarta), Kelapa
Gading Mall 3 (North Jakarta), and Tunjungan Plaza Mall 3 (Surabaya, East Java).
Mitra Adiperkasas Sports Station store still grew at double-digits despite the
opening of Planet Sport in the same mall. Worth noting is that the best-
performing Zara and Stradivarius stores are also in PvJ Mall, which is most
likely due to less competition and cannibalisation as compared to Jakarta.

Bandung is home to major examples of Dutch colonial architecture, mainly the
tropical Art Deco style. Henri Maclaine-Pont designed the first technical university
- Institut Teknologi Bandung, J. Gerber the Gedung Sate - the head office of West
Java, and Albert Aalbers the DENIS bank and Savoy Homann hotel.

Semarang - Central Java
Just like in many other parts of Indonesia, Semarang - the capital of central
Java - is enjoying a massive property boom. Any kind of property is doing
well there. Landed residential, industrial land, landed commercial property in
its CBD area, and even apartments. Yes, even apartments.
Figure 100 Figure 101

Apartments in Semarang are in high demand, despite limited traffic issue in
this lovely city. Apparently, one of main reasons to buy an apartment is the
anticipation of FDI coming to Semarang or labour-intensive factories
relocating from Greater Jakarta to Semarang.
The relocation is primarily driven to take advantage of more manageable
labour costs and unions. Minimum wage in the region is close to half of the
Greater Jakarta rate. And even with the lower base, wages increased by
only 20% in Semarang in 2013; significantly lower than Jakartas staggering
44% hike.
Many in the city are expecting Japanese and Korean expats to move from
Jakarta to Semarang in the not too distant future, along with the FDI. On the
back of this, some of the apartment buyers are looking to rent out the units
(delivered two years from now) to these expats.
Interview with a property agent
Wuddy: How long have you been a property agent?
Property agent: 3.5 years.
Wuddy: Hows business?
Property agent: It was tough when I started 3.5 years
ago. Things have been awesome in the past two years.
Wuddy: What is your best-selling product?
Property agent: Apartments in the prime area.
Wuddy: Interesting. Whats the selling price per
square metre?
Property agent: Hmmmm . . . I dont know. I mean
the buyers here dont think in terms of price per square
metre. I showed them the floor plan and they just
bought it. All they care is the unit price.
Wuddy: Ok, I hear you. Whats the hottest landed
residential development and whats the price per
square metre?
Property agent: Development in the hilly Candi area is
the hottest for sure. Price per square metre? I just told
you, people DO NOT think in square metre. If they like it,
the buy it. Forget about per square metre price. You
snooze, you lose. Period.

Well, its clearly a great time to be in the property business in Semarang. In
this supposedly cut-throat property agency business, a property agent who
isnt willing to perform simple elementary school arithmetic to arrive at a per
square metre price still manages to do very well.
Life is also good for property investors in the city. In prime locations,
property prices have more than doubled in the past three years. In case
you are curious, whats the price per square metre in the best CBD
location in the Pandanaran area in Semarang, its about Rp50m (US$4.5k)
per square metre.
The prospect of industrialisation in Semarang has sparked optimism and
bolstered confidence. We visited the S2 lifestyle complex in Semarang. It is
the most hip and stylish lifestyle centre in town with restaurants, cafs,
bakeries and patisserie shop, frozen desserts shop and a fitness centre.
S2 has taken a bold approach in its unusual architectural approach. Owned by
a local businessman and designed by Jakarta-based architect Handoyo
Darmawan Gani, it is a contemporary three-storey building with an all-white
palette and massive glass walls. Impressive looking, the food was great and
the place was packed. Thrifty Semarang is clearly changing. The younger
generation who have experienced Western or Jakarta lifestyles is now living a
different lifestyle from their parents.

It is also important to note that Semarang is not merely about cheap labour.
The citys strategic location between Jakarta/West Java and East Java has
encouraged some entrepreneurs to set up logistic firms there. One of the
countrys most successful trucking company, Siba Surya (not listed), for
example, is based in Semarang.
Under Sibas second-generation leader, Daniel Budi Setiawan, the group has
recently expanded into the IT solution business. Named Siba System, the new
IT firm is leveraging on their logistic-related IT capability. The building that
hosts Siba System is cool and trendy and designed to allow a lot of
interaction between the firms young programmers.

Semarang property plays
Bekasi Fajar has a property development in Semarang, accounting for
approximately 10% of its NAV. Another industrial estate developer with
exposure to Semarang is Jababeka.
Ciputra Property runs a very successful hotel and mall development in
Semarang, which also represents about 10% of its NAV.
Busy Semarang airport
In writing this report, I also become aware of the fact that there are nine
Garuda flights a day from Jakarta to Semarang and we were told they were
all fully booked. Budget carrier Lion Air (not listed) also flies nine times a day
and its just as busy. I also learned that there are four budget airlines
connecting Semarang and Indonesias second-largest city, Surabaya.
One aspect of CLSA economist Tony Naftes now classic report on Indonesia,
No speeding!, is that Indonesia tried to grow very fast without putting
enough attention to infrastructure spending. Infrastructure investment has
not been able to keep up with strong GDP expansion and the explosion of
middle-class growth.
Rising urbanisation and an expanding middle class only adds to the
pressure, causing heavy congestion and overuse among the countrys public
transport network.
As such, persistent flight delays that occur in many major airports across the
country has also become a daily fixture at Semarang airport, thanks to
surging number of domestic travellers. The combination of rapidly expanding
middle class and low-cost air services has resulted in overall passenger traffic
growing 11% per year over the past decade.
These days, we would feel lucky if our flight is delayed for under an hour.
Even boarding your plane does not always mean much since you may have to
wait as your plane queues on the runway. Not to mention the extended
boarding process; nearly every flight requires bus transit to and from the
runway because the airports lacks capacity to service demand.
In case you want to know what the Semarang airport looks like, please see
the picture below taken one Friday afternoon.

The rise of the day traders in Semarang
Back in 4Q10, I took the opportunity to meet some aspiring online stock
traders in Semarang. They traded through the Indopremier online trading
platform (IPOT). For the first time ever, online trading facilities made its way
to people living in the smaller cities of Indonesia.
We also argued in the note back then that there was a growing confidence of
Indonesians in our own thing, from art to batik to the stock market. And that
confidence is a good ingredient to be bullish.
The idea is that positive demographics combined with cultural change leads to
more spending, and hence consumption becoming a key economic driver for
the region. The theory is proven by the growing confidence and the J-curve
growth in consumption spending in Indonesia. Coupled with sharply lower
commodity prices - Indonesias main export - this has led into trade deficits
later on.
Some brave spirits tried their hands (and luck) in the market. We interviewed
them back then (Indonesia Slice of life (Confidence on the Rise in Indonesia?)
and we met some of them once again in August 2013. The meeting with the
day traders reminded us how the stock market has changed since the market
started in the late 80s.

Some things never change. These guys have a completely different time
horizon. Their holding period is as short as before. Three days are considered
forever. They still trade every day. Well, more like every hour. The spouses
are still as supportive on their trading activities, largely because they have no
clue what the stock market is. They still learn from each other and share
information, thats the main reason they still come to the IPOD office
although they can actually trade from their gadgets at home.
So, whats new?
The traders religiously follow blogs by well-known market analysts. Trader
Ellen May (www.ellen-may.com), for example, is very popular.
The security guard that I interviewed back in 2010 (see Appendix 3) left his
full-time security guard job in mid-2013. He is now a full-time trader. A great
example of all the excesses we have discussed intensely.
Market conditions remain very tough, but these day traders are not giving
up . . . yet. Encouragingly, they are also very keen to learn.
For better or worse, the emergence of day traders has improved overall
market liquidity. The meeting with them in August 2013 suggests that they
will keep fighting and are not going away anytime soon.

Yogyakarta - Central Java
Winner of Trip Advisor's 2013 Traveler's Choice Award, Yogyakarta is the
cultural/academic epicentre of Indonesia and the last existing Kingdom in Java.
Jogja, as most Indonesians refer to Yogyakarta, is home to Borobudur, the
worlds largest Buddhist archaeological site, and the famous Hindu Temple,
Prembanan. The city also boasts the largest and highest concentration of
student population in Indonesia. With over a hundred universities, it has earned
itself the nickname, Kota Pelajar - students city (think Boston).

Jogja is now the second-most important tourist destination in Indonesia after
Bali. In addition to stunning architecture, it is also known for its Batik fabric,
silverwork, and tastefully crafted furniture. And of course, renowned as a
centre of Javanese fine art and spiritual sensibility, the city has produced
Indonesias finest artists, the pinnacle of that being Nyoman Masriadi.

Currently considered to be one of Indonesias best artists, Masriadi is also one
of Southeast Asias most well-received contemporary artists at auctions
(recent works fetched US$ seven figures). In October 2008, Masriadis The
Man from Bantul (The Final Round) sold for more than US$1 million at a
Sothebys auction in Hong Kong in 2008.

A conversation with Nyoman Masriadi
What does Jogja mean to you?
Jogja is where I raised my family and also where I
work. I find the art community here important to my
development in life as an artist. It is the place where I
have met many of my artist friends and we have grown
together. I find the city very inspiring in my
development as an artist.
Why did you initially decide to pursue your
training in Jogja?
At that time, Jogja was and I think still is the most
important art centre in Indonesia, for young developing
artists. I had also heard stories of the successes of
other artists had and the close artistic community that
characterizes Jogja. It was certainly the place to be if
you wanted to be an artist.
Your paintings often portray clash of cultures
and inconsistencies in daily matters, do all the
elements always come together to tell a story?
Yes, such elements are portrayed in my paintings but
primarily most of these paintings are my personal
experiences. Often, it is vague what these feelings
might be and I have done this purposefully. It leaves
the public the freedom to make sense of what the
works mean to them and their personal lives. As to
whether the elements come together in a story that
depends on the viewer but for me what I want to say
in a painting always comes together.
Could you tell us more about your paintings, how
they have evolved over time and where you feel
your art is headed?
Around 1997, while I was in Bali and struggling as an
artist, several elements came together to give me the
confidence to know what I could do as an artist. I
formed a visual language that I could identify with and
from then on I have developed it gradually.
What advice would you give to an artist just
starting out?
The advice I would give to fellow artists starting out
is to be sincere to your work. This is the most
important thing, your sincerity to yourself. Often
there are many unseen pressures coming from all
directions for artists, from collectors, to curators, to
dealers to the market, and even from yourself and
your personal struggles. Try to maintain your
sincerity throughout all of this.
If you can only pick one word to epitomise you,
what would it be?
Brilliant! Haha!
How do you generate so many fascinating ideas?
I dont know if they are fascinating or not but if you
think so, thank you. I have always tried to maintain
sincerity in my work. Maybe this is hard to come by
as we find artists following market trends and so on.
Perhaps, that is why I can only produce so few works
a year.
Don't go", said Masriadi when we had to part ways.
We were humbled to have such genuine hospitality
from these accomplished world- class artists.

Furthering our on-the-ground style, we then talked to managers and
hospitality workers in Jogja to gain insight into local sentiments:
Dhita, a hospitality worker at a four-star hotel, shared:
She attended university in Jogja, then married and settled with her
husband in 2006 and now has two kids.
As of 2012, her monthly income including tips was about Rp3m
(US$300) and her family total income about Rp5m (US$500), up from
Rp300k (US$30) monthly when she first started in 2006. (wage inflation
you think?)
Monthly cost of living for her family: 2013 about Rp23m (US$2,300 per
annum, US$500 on housing) compared with 2012 about Rp21m
(US$2,100 per annum, US$500 on housing).
From 2010-2013 she saw a lot more mini-marts in Jogja (rising
living standards).
Panuwun, a manager at a five-star hotel, shared:
Tourists at his hotel are 60/40 local/foreigners. Where foreigners were
largely made up of Japanese, French and Dutch but seeing more
Japanese tourists in 2013.
Having worked in hospitality in Jogja since 1999, he felt that living
expenses were largely stable, inflation subtle.
Tourism is expected to grow, with 4-5 star hotels doubling in 2015 from
current number of about 15 4-5 star hotels in Jogja.
We did see quite a bit of construction while in Jogja but doubling high-end
hotel capacity is punchy. This is, however, consistent with the recent FDI
theme weve been talking about since most 4-5 star hotels are foreign
brands. Even a cultural/spiritual epicentre cannot escape commercialisation
and paper chasers.
To identify Indonesia with the hustle and bustle of Jakarta really doesnt do
the country any justice. To see true Indonesian culture and heritage, one
must submerge oneself in the truly Javanese experience that is Yogyakarta.
For those who have never visited Indonesia or specifically, Yogyakarta, it is
definitely worthy of your next trip. Make room for it on your bucket list.

Surakarta/Solo - Central Java
Surakarta, better known as Solo, is a city in Central Java with more than half
a million population. It is around 100km south of Semarang (the provincial
capital for Central Java) and 60km east of Yogyakarta. Solo is often being
used as the alternative route from Jakarta to East Javas Surabaya via the
south coast. The road from Yogyakarta to Solo was packed with trucks and
other commercial vehicles.
In the olden days, Solo was a trade centre for agricultural products such as
rubber, rice, corn and sugar. It is also well known for friendliness, soft-spoken
people but on the other side, the city is also considered the centre for militant
Islamic group called Jemaah Islamiah, or JI. The group was responsible for
several bomb attacks in Jakarta and Bali. Solo, indeed, has a bitter history in
1998 when Suharto was ousted. Angry mobs set the minority Chinese-
Indonesia communities in city as the target of vandalisms. Anti-Chinese
ethnic turbulence spread during the riots. The mobs also burnt down many
buildings, especially government-owned and banks. Solo was badly damaged.
As time goes by, the city has healed its wound and evolved to become more
industrial and more vibrant proven by the increasing number of hotels, malls
and residential areas being developed. One particular industry that really is
blossoming is the textile and garment industry. We can claim that Solo is one
of the countrys key textile and garment-producing area. It is home to
recently listed Sritex, Dunia Tex, Tefound Tex and many more. Clothing,
textile yarns and fabrics contribute up to 47% of the regionals export
revenue as of 1H13.

Jokowis hometown
Joko Widodo, the former mayor of Solo (2005-2012, serving two terms) who is
now the governor of Jakarta, has branded the city as The Spirit of Java. The
city gained so much traction since Jokowi came to office as the mayor. Solo has
become more developed, cleaner and more efficient - in regards to document
administration. Talking about the healthcare scheme that Jokowi first introduced
to Solo, it was a great success. Even a friend of ours who moved to Greater
Jakarta kept her Solo ID card because she could get free medical treatment in
Solo. Jokowi has now been serving at the capital for more than a year and has
become the peoples choice for this years presidential election.
Solo is a great supporter of preserving and developing Javanese culture,
tradition, culinary and arts. The city has two vocational arts schools and a
higher-education art institution - The Indonesian Arts Institute Surakarta

which teaches gamelan orchestra and Javanese shadow puppetry. The plan to
build an opera house of international standards and expectation to host
international performing arts on a regular basis is still intact. We will see
more construction in the near future.
Reasonable cost of labour in Solo
The minimum wage in the region is at a 58% discount to Jakartas (Rp915k -
US$82/month vs Rp2.2m - US$200/month) for 2013. For the minimum wage
hike in 2013 alone, Solo only enjoyed a 6% increase from Rp864k in 2012 to
Rp915k in 2013 while Jakarta enjoyed a staggering 44% hike from Rp1.53m
in 2012 to Rp2.2m in 2013. Yet, no violent protests took place in Solo.
Indeed, when it comes to work ethic, however, we find labourers from Central
Java areas more diligent, submissive than workers originally from West Java
or East Java. Hence, they seldom stage protest or vandalise their employers
property. The West Javanese are well-known for their flamboyant and flashy
lifestyle, while the East Javanese are known for their impulsiveness. Let alone
the influence of labour union in the area isnt as strong as in Greater Jakarta.

Seeing the minimum wage in Jakarta beyond Rp2m per month, it is not
surprising that many factory workers try their luck in Greater Jakarta areas
without thinking that the minimum standard of living in Jakarta is also 63%
higher than in Solo. The situation forces companies especially textiles firms to
put on banners along the main street to communicate their need for
replacement.

Confident Solo and debt-free people
We also visited Solos famous Klewer textile market and talked to some
business people there. The traders at Klewer are usually micro to medium
enterprises which rely heavily on domestic and foreign tourists who visit the
palace. It is also one of the successful whole-seller markets for people from
outside Solo. The traders at Klewer arent afraid of competition at all despite
the fact that at least two new malls have been built in the past three years.
They argue that their customers are unique and loyal.
One key characteristic of these traders is being debt-free. Hence it shows the
vast potential for micro loans to expand. Our discussion with the traders
reveals classic challenges that banks must overcome such as lack of proper
documents and the fear to pay interest. Banks which are labelled
aggressive in trying to get more clients by traders at the market include
Bank Mandiri and Bank Rakyat. Their loan officers relentlessly canvass the
area and we saw some shops board sign sponsored by Mandiri.

Madiun - East Java
Madiun is close to the border with Central Java and lies nearly 200km inland
West of Surabaya. It is an agricultural centre with 36% of local GDP from
farming - mainly rice and sugarcane - with trade and services driven off the
wealth created by agriculture. The town is an important interchange on the
main Southern rail route between Jakarta and Surabaya.
I travelled to Madiun and caught up with local business people in construction,
retail, farming equipment supply and a credit officer at one of the largest bank
branches in the area - BCA - to get a feel for how development is progressing.
Having been a regular visitor to the area since 2007, the most noticeable
changes are improvements in public infrastructure (roads, public spaces) and
private housing development as the city has spread further to accommodate
more urban dwellings. The area has missed out on more industrial investment
that other parts of Java have enjoyed, largely a function of its location.
This looks set to change though due to rising minimum wages in larger cities
like Jakarta and long-awaited infrastructure improvements, such as the Trans-
Java toll-road, coming to fruition.

Industrial developments coming to Madiun
Madiun is already home to the Industri Kereta Api rail construction factory,
sugar refineries in operation since Dutch colonial times and cigarette
manufacturing. The most immediate wave of development is turning Madiun
into an even bigger rail hub as the government and private sector embark on
more rail infrastructure projects.

The Industri Kereta Api factory has already designed prototypes for monorail
vehicles that will be used in Jakarta in the near future and a nearby Kereta Api
(state rail operator) technical school to train up to 12,000 rail engineers
annually is in the final stages of completion, open for its first students in 2014.

In the private sector, 16 labour-intensive manufacturers have been granted
licenses to build factories in the city, including textiles, footwear and sporting
goods manufacturers. These businesses plan to open additional manufacturing
capacity outside Jakarta to diversify risk on the escalating cost of labour. Local
business people speak highly of the Walikota (head of the city) due to his
commercial background, and credit him with attracting these plans.
As an early sign of impending greater investment, far-sited Japanese hotel
chain Aston has also given the area a vote of confidence, constructing a 14-
storey hotel on the edge of town that dwarfs any other building in the entire
district. I'm told by a friend in Purwokorto, Central Java that a wave of
Japanese and Korean manufacturing investment followed a couple of years
after the construction of the same hotel chain. International standard
accommodation is necessary to attract business people to the area, and the
local incumbent hotel in the centre of town built in 1990, Hotel Merdeka,
plans to construct a new four-star wing to compete with the newcomer.

Is it really as simple as cheap labour?
Data from the government shows the monthly minimum wage in Madiun and
its neighbouring districts in 2013 increased 19% YoY to Rp927k (US$80). This
is lower than many other regions including greater Jakartas 44%, and also
off a much lower base of Rp778k (US$68). This is one of the key ingredients
necessary to attract investment.
However, there are two near-term challenges: infrastructure links and relatively
high levels of remittance workers. On the infrastructure side, construction of
the long-awaited Solo-Ngawi toll-road link is progressing and is expected to be
complete in three to four years. The road will provide access to Semarang in
Central Java, which is also being linked to Solo via a separate road.
The latter issue of foreign labour opportunities is also surmountable, but may
add an element of wage pressure. Due to such low wages, the area also has a
significant foreign labour contingent supplying remittances. This is particularly
true of neighbouring Ponorogo to the south of Madiun. BCA's staff informed
me that the level of deposits at its Ponorogo sub-branch (under
administration from the Madiun branch) is nearly the same as Madiun itself
despite government statistics showing the areas population is half that of
Madiun at about 855k in 2010 due to the flow of money from outside.
Credit trends - small business and auto finance
I caught up with one of the loan officers at BCAs Madiun branch. Madiun is a
full-service branch offering retail and small business banking and supervises
many sub-branches in neighbouring districts such as Ngawi in the north,
Megetan in the west, Ponorogo in the south and Nganjuk in the east.
In the area, the banks lending is predominantly in the commercial (small
business segment) with about half as each of working capital and investment
credit. Mortgages, though a focus of the bank nationally, are seldom
disbursed in Madiun as relatively low house prices mean there are few
customers with needs of more than the bank's minimum Rp300m (US$26k).
Auto finance has a lot of potential in (the branch has recently put promotions
out front). At one of the three malls in town, car retailers Toyota, Suzuki and
Nissan had set up displays only three months before I visited.
Following increases in interest rates of 150bps during 3Q13, business credit
demand is still evident, but the balances being requested by customers are
lower (increases of Rp1bn for working capital are being scaled back to Rp500m
for instance) and the bank is supporting existing customers (or the second
generation of existing clients who are opening new businesses in town) whilst
being extremely selective in taking over any loans from other banks.
In terms of competition, the BCA banker observes BRI as being the most
aggressive in small business lending and mid-tier private banks, such as
Panin, as being the most competitive for time deposits and promotions.

More modern retailing
The two, ageing, main malls in Madiun's town centre will soon face more
competition. A new complex, Sun City, near the recently completed Carrefour
store, will open soon. The pirate-themed water park adjacent to the new mall
complex and rukos (shophouses) is already a hit with locals as this analyst
can attest to, having visited on a busy Saturday afternoon. Sun City will boast
more national retail and food brands at a more affluent level to the existing
Matahari store in the town centre. The mall provides a place to hang out and
an alternative to new modern retail outlets which has popped up in nearby
Solo (which is a two to three-hour drive away by car).
However, there are some outlets that will probably never change. During my trip
I ate lunch at a restaurant that has served soto (Javanese chicken broth) since
the 1940s and has been passed down from four generations, with the current
owner running the restaurant out of the same building since 1995. Every time I
come to Madiun, its busy with people from all walks of life enjoying this simple
but nutritious dish. When I asked if the owner is keen to open a branch or
expand, she told me the existing restaurant keeps her more than busy as it is.

History of occupation and uprising
Madiun and surrounding areas were strategic posts for the ruling Dutch
Colonialists at the meeting point between key rivers in Java with military
bases in both cities. It is most famous as the location for the 1948 so-called
Madiun Affair where the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) declared a Soviet
Republic of Indonesia. Several weeks later the movement was quashed by
Republican forces under Soekarno-Hatta (Indonesias first president and vice
president) with its leaders executed.
To this day, the area retains a strong military presence with Madiun home to
major air force base.

Malang - East Java
In spite of my best attempts to avoid traveling during the 3Q13 earnings
season (or subconsciously perhaps intentionally?), fate had it that I was in
Malang for two days at the end of October, a city in East Java. Malang
happened to be a great escape from the horrible Jakarta traffic. Green and
lush with great traffic, Malang is the second-largest city with a population of
about one million in eastern Java and long known for its good schools,
tobacco, sugar and textile industries.
Figure 134 Figure 135
Beautiful Malang New road to Malang airport
Source: CLSA
During the Dutch colonisation, Malang was a popular destination for Europeans
who wanted to enjoy the famous cool air and the surrounding scenic country
regions of Tumpang, Batu, Singosari, and Turen. In those days, the locals
sometimes gave Malang the nickname the Paris of East Java.
A long time has passed since then but the origins of the name Malang
remains uncertain. Malang in todays Bahasa Indonesia means
poor/unlucky but popular belief has it that the Malang name originated
from the words Malangkucecwara which means God has destroyed the
false and enforced the right.
Malang has been busy. At least six new hotel chains have sprung up in the
city. And after years of sharing the airport with the military, Malang got its
own Abdul Rachman airport in December 2011.

routes to and from Malang will be launched next year.

Malang has clearly benefited from a combination rising local tourism and its
traditional strength of good schools drawing many students throughout
Indonesia, the tobacco industry and the textile segment.
One interesting meeting I had in Malang was with management of cigarette
producer Trisakti - known for brands such as Win Mild, Master Mild, Pensil Mas
and Kacang Bayi. In 2011, South Korean KT&G acquired a majority 60%
stake in Trisakti and for the last two years, KT&G and Trisakti have been
working together to consolidate and streamline their operations.
In contrast to the general weaker earnings result and slower economy, KT&G
Indonesia struck a more bullish note and is now ready to make a big push in
Indonesia next year, especially with its super slim brand Esse (already made
inroads in Russia and Eastern Europe). While the cigarette industry is
generally considered a sunset industry, the growth in Indonesia has been
stronger, around 6% Cagr.

Trisakti management believes that the general trend in the tobacco
industry will increasingly favour the big players. Big brands will have
stronger marketing power as the big players will concentrate their
marketing campaigns on national brands (as opposed to focusing on many
regional brands).
There is also a perception that the government is favouring consolidation in
the sector by cracking down on satellite cigarette companies - all affiliated
satellite companies of a cigarette producer will be counted as one as opposed
as separate ones - as there are higher taxes for more sticks produced.
Whatever maybe, clearly competition is heating up and listed cigarette
makers like Gudang Garam and Wismilak have to battle up.
In spite of the growing pains Indonesia is going through right now, the fast
formation of the middle class proves to be too good to ignore for multinationals
who experience slower growth at home. No wonder the Japanese, Chinese and
South Koreans have been establishing footprints in Indonesia.
Few other interesting points:
KT&G Indonesia ready for big push in 2014. After two years of
streamlining operations with Trisakti, the company is ready to make an
aggressive entry with KT&Gs strong name recognition and super slim
brand Esse. Overall capacity of the factory in Purwosari is about 5-6bn
sticks. Interestingly, the KT&G factory is located close to Apache, part of
the Gudang Garam family (not listed Gudang Garam).
Warning pictures on cigarette packaging. The governments
regulation on warning pictures is likely to take place in 2014.
Satellite companies clampdown in process. In the past, cigarette
companies have used multiple affiliated satellite companies to lower their
tax bracket (tax is based on a number of sticks produced).
The final details of this regulation were issued in 4Q13.
The government clampdown is already happening and now in the site
inspection/verification process. We believe that the excise tax hike
cancellation is behind this issue of clamping satellite companies
enforcement - so that the government can still reach its excise tax
revenue target.

As the saying goes, some things just dont change. Todays Malang is also
benefiting from a boom in tourism. The difference these days is that it is local
domestic tourists (and the ever-ubiquitous Chinese tourist) that are coming to
Malang. Its satellite city, Batu has seen remarkable development and smartly
positioned itself as the theme park paradise for Indonesia and is attracting
many visitors throughout the country.
Figure 145 Figure 146
Batu Secret Zoo Popular East Java theme park (Jatim park)

The theme parks were started in the early 2000s but the Jatim group already
boast six theme parks and plans to add a new park every year. (still a way to
go to US Orlandos 15 theme parks).The parks are modern and run well - one
could have easily thought they are in Singapore or Florida! - this has been a
good cushion for the general economic slowdown the country is experiencing.
We believe cities like Malang and other Javanese cities will weather the
economic slowdown better than resource-rich regions of Sumatra and
Kalimantan. But even Malang is starting to see glimpses of economic slowdown.
A textile businessman interestingly commented that trucking services from
Malang to Jakarta remains strong. But on the way back from Jakarta to the
regions have started to see weakness. There are some trucks now offering
discounted fares from Jakarta back to the region in East Java.

Surabaya - East Java
The first time I (Amie) visited Surabaya was in 1990, I recalled that it was
quite humid and dull. I recalled a visit to the printing facility owned by Dahlan
Iskan, entrepreneur-turned-SOE minister and the Wonokromo zoo. I was very
excited to see the process of printing newspaper, the big machines but to be
honest, the city itself didnt leave any memorable memories back then. I only
visited the city again after more than a decade.
Unlike my colleague, Amie, I (Wuddy) was born in Surabaya, grew up and
completed my basic and college education in this lovely city. My first post-
college job was with the Citibank branch there and I thought I would live in
Surabaya for the rest of my life.
I pursued post-graduate education in the UK a few years later (mainly to
improve my English, after my excruciating experience of having to produce
reports in English during my Citi days), only to see myself graduate during
the peak of the Asian crisis. Confronted by a very bleak job market at home, I
found myself working in finance in London and Singapore in the years that
followed. That turned out to be blessings in disguise as the experiences
opened up my eyes.
In early 2005, I joined CLSA Indonesias sales desk and moved back to
Jakarta after reading Marc Fabers book Tomorrows Gold, and Jim Rogers
Adventure Capitalist. Coming from completely different angles, both books
made convincing arguments that we were at the early stage of the
commodity super cycle. Indonesia is blessed with plush natural resources and
for the first time had directly elected its president through a democratic
process. Time to return home.
I still travel back and forth to my hometown Surabaya to visit my friends and
family on a regular basis. Something that I notice is that every time I visit
Surabaya, the city is becoming greener and cleaner.
Greener and better Surabaya
It is fascinating to see that Surabaya, despite the fact that it has only
US$545m/year or 10% of Jakartas budget, still could make so many changes
and improve conditions. Thanks to Tri Rismaharini, Surabayas mayor
(affectionately known as Ibu Risma) the city has embarked on e-
procurement, an equal opportunity talent programme and a pro-business
attitude with simpler steps to start a business.
Our recent visit to Surabaya witnessed Ibu Rismas efforts to balance the
development between environment, social and cultural aspects. Illegal road
vendors have largely been relocated successfully to new buildings without
causing unrest. Until today, the city has built around 40 shopping centres to
accommodate these street vendors.
To make the city even greener, the administration has already allocated more
than 20% of the areas as green zone. Some Pole (Astonia Scholaris) trees
are seen in front of the mayor's office and along the main street. The best
quality trees could cost up to Rp100m/tree - US$10k. It has allocated more
than 20 hectares of land for forest in West Surabaya. In the east, the
government has dedicated some land for a mangrove forest.

Surabaya prefers to have more high-tech and non-pollutant companies
investing in Surabaya (IT or offices). Any manufacturing companies that want
to set up plants are directed to open up in the Greater Surabaya area (Gresik,
Sidoarjo, etc). It is understandable because prices of land in the city have
already gone up so much in the past two years and the availability of land is
also very tight.

All of those dont come for free, however; the government has imposed
higher tax including those imposed in the property sector to fund all their
programmes. Take the non-tax-receipts for example, it has more than tripled
from Rp2.5m (US$250) previously to Rp8m and the cost to secure the license
to build (IMB) is now at Rp30k/m
2
or 5x more expensive than before.
We also notice that trendy restaurants are springing up throughout the city,
such as Platinum Grill. The latest addition to be opened early this year is the
hip and suave restaurant named 1914. Local business people are converting
the splendid French Cultural Center building in Surabaya into a multi-concept
destination. The name 1914 represents the year the building was constructed
by Spanish architect Fritz Joseph Pinedo. It is an awesome artistic building
that has a high artistic value of architecture.

Obviously, not everything is rosy in Surabaya. Our meetings with business
people and major property agents in Surabaya suggest business is getting
tougher, in line with the general slowdown in the country. Apparently, panic
buying which took place in recent years has now stopped.
Rupiah depreciation coupled with rising financing costs and tightening
measures imposed by the government (higher LTV for second ownership of
property and beyond) put the brakes on the property price movement. In
spite of the slowdown, it feels like Surabaya is on its way to be one of the
nice places to live in this part of the world. Young creative talents will want to
live there.
To attract young talent, Ibu Risma doesnt revise down their infrastructure
spending despite the economy slowdown. Hopefully, this will create a nice
buffer for the economy. Monorail will be built to connect the western and
eastern part of the city. A planned Light Rail Transit (LRT) will connect
north and south Surabaya. Both the monorail and the LRT will start
construction in 2014.

Medan - North Sumatra
Medan is the capital city of North Sumatra and located in the heart of the
palm oil plantation region in Indonesia. We visited the city to get a feel for the
economy most exposed to the tough palm oil price in the past few years.
Much to our surprise, the third-largest city in Indonesia is currently
experiencing rolling power blackouts three times per week on average with
each blackouts happening two to three hours each. PLN Medan manager said
that the blackouts were due to power deficit and they needed to install a
diesel generator with 150MW capacity to increase power.
We also spoke with the glasses factories and currently the biggest challenge for
manufacturing is the rising minimum wage in Medan. Our discussions point out
that a 30% hike in 2014 will make industries in North Sumatra uncompetitive
against peers. The possibility of high minimum wage increase may trigger
demonstrations led by factory workers, similar to the protests in Jakarta.
Medans economy is driven mostly by trade and plantations, which represents
19% and 23% of the North Sumatra economy respectively. We observe that
the local people have been adjusting slowly to the new normality of lower
CPO prices but we are still seeing resilience of the economy in our visit.

We have observed that the new airport is half done and access to the main
city is still very poor but they have a train terminal attached to the airport
that connects to the city. The train will cost Rp80k per person to ride and will
take the passengers directly to the middle of the city with a lot of
development in the area.

When we were heading from the new airport to the city, we took a Bluebird
taxi and had chat with the driver. The driver claimed that Bluebird is currently
aggressively expanding in Medan. At the moment, the company only had one
taxi pool but will be opening up a second pool.
The driver claimed that they were no significant changes in the last year as to
the gross daily income of the driver. Medan also has sufficient subsidised fuel
and only ran out typically only three days out of the week.

We also visit a BNI bank branch in Medan. Competition has been very tense in
the capital city of North Sumatra, mainly from smaller banks and regional player
Bank Sumut. The banks claimed that they will slow down loan disbursement in
the area due to bad macro conditions as well as bad harvest season.
The Medan branch office also supervises the Aceh area. We also saw slower
loan growth for credit with YTD loan growth only at 9% for the banking sector.

Vertical development and Ciputra impact
When we visited the city, we observed abundant vertical development in the
city with Agung Podomoro launching its apartments and condominiums.
Agung Podomoro is currently launching studios, one-bed and two-bed units.
The selling price for the units also keeps increasing from Rp21.8m per square
meter to Rp23.9m per square meter for the one-room 70 square metre
apartments. Already, 500 people have signed up to buy units even before the
construction of the project.

The development also includes the construction of Centre Point, Siloam
Hospital and Pelita Harapan International School. For the landed housing
development, Ciputra is currently still launching its CitraLand Bagya City.
When we visited the construction site of CitraLand Bagya City, we spoke with
the general manager and find out that most of the payments were using the
companys monthly instalment plan. The CitraLand Bagya City price has
increased by 30% since its initial launch.

We also meet with a property agent to discuss if the property market is
impacted by the weaker palm oil. The impact is estimated to be manageable
as 70% of transactions are still using cash. Property prices across Medan
have risen following the launch of CitraBagya City but on the other hand,
there are less transactions in the secondary home market.

Balikpapan and Samarinda - East Kalimantan
Following the continued weakness of the coal market, we went On-the-
ground in Balikpapan and Samarinda to check the impact of the low coal
prices. Heading to Balikapapan, we took a 5:50am flight which was
surprisingly full. In Balikpapan, we visited the Ranch Market located in
Plaza Balikpapan. Business has been brisk despite Plaza Balikpapan being
renovated. Ranchs clientele are made up of expats, oil & gas communities
and government officials that are more sheltered from the mining fallout.
Plaza Balikpapan was taken over by Agung Podomoro Land which is upgrading
the real estate to grade A from grade C. They are constructing Borneo Bay
apartments with 4 towers. The first tower was successfully launched recently.
We also visited Auto2000 in the city. Sales of new units has averaged lower
but more sales from maintenance of cars have exceeded target. Sales from
the showroom previously averaged around 230 units per month but this year
it averaged only 210 units per month.

In our visit to Samarinda, we find that for most of the mine workers, the
increase in the price of beef, onion and other staple items are more of a
concern than the low price of coal. While some mines that were still in
exploration or early development shut down, workers tend to land jobs
elsewhere quite easily. We talked to local graduates and they mentioned
that miners are still hiring. Two of the miners we talked to purchased houses
in the past two years and are planning to buy new motorcycles in the next
12 months.

more of a concern; Miners

Hotel occupancy was also higher than 80% on average. In the lounge, we
could hear Mandarin, Korean and English being spoken. The high occupancy is
in-line with the full flight that we saw earlier in the day. The government has
continued to pour investment into the area. The roads from Balikpapan to
Samarinda are being widened while new airports are being built.
However, while life has been moving along, there has been a downgrade for
entertainment. Newer bar concepts that are cheaper than karaoke bars are
popping up. Different to karaoke bars with private singing rooms, the newer
bars also have a stage for dancers and performers.
The tab for four people was around 50% lower than the typical tab in karaoke
bars in Samarinda. We asked the floor manager for the bar that was poached
from one of the top karaoke bars in Samarinda. While her initial response was
measured since she thought we were copa, she later shared that business has
been good.
We are led to believe that while thermal coal prices are low, coal operations
remained strong. 2012 was much tougher since most were caught unaware.
But in 2013, the miners have adjusted to the new normal and have continued
mining. Some mine owners who have failed to pay their contractors have
restructured with the contractors. Foreign traders gave financing to
contractors to continue operating in return for coal off take.
Therefore, we are led to believe that coal production will remain high,
pressuring thermal coal prices to be low. Consumption remains high for now.
While this may change in the future but for now, life goes on in Balikpapan
and Samarinda.

Stocks to own
Our medium-term strategy is based on the view that Java ex-Jakarta growth
will outstrip the other islands given powerful demographics; strong bank loan
and investment growth with massive infrastructure development; and the
commodities price volatility.
Companies with a great strategy and a strong foothold in Java ex-Jakarta
should benefit. We also consider their penetration of provinces and the
sustainability of their strategy. We like BCA, BTN, Perusahaan Gas,
Indocement, Pakuwon, Kalbe Farma, Ace Hardware, Telkom, Wijaya Karya
and Sritex.

Ace Hardware (ACES IJ - Outperform)
As more than three-quarters of Aces retail stores are located in Java, the
company should be a key beneficiary of rising wealth and booming property
in the region, on top of benign competition in the home improvement
segment. Half of its store expansion has been channelled to Java ex-Jakarta
regions in the past two years. Aside from location focus, early data suggests
that the Java ex-Jakarta area delivered the highest same-store-sales growth
in 2013.
Bank Central Asia (BBCA IJ - Outperform)
Bank Central Asia is most leveraged to Java with 80% of its branches on the
island (vs 54-65% for top peers) and 88% of loans in Java-Bali. The banks
lending expansion is leveraged to affluent consumers with larger cities in Java
providing the most attractive market. BCA has historically traded at a
premium to peers, on 3x PB as it remains the only bank able to fund all loans
from low-cost deposits (80% of funding) and has the best asset quality
among Indonesian banks under coverage.
Bank Tabungan Negara (BBTN IJ - BUY)
Bank Tabungan Negara is Indonesias No.1 mortgage lender with 32% market
share. Its niche is smaller housing (<70m
2
) on the urban fringe, which
develops in tandem with manufacturing capacity. As development moves from
West to East across Java, the banks network is ready with 55% of branches
in Java ex-Jakarta. BTN is our best small-cap banks idea and our Rp1,350/sh
target price suggests 50% upside.

Section 4: Stocks to own Back to Java
70 merlissa.trisno@clsa.com 5 February 2014
Indocement (INTP IJ - BUY)
Amid multiple headwinds, we expect domestic cement demand to be soft.
However, Java demand will be more resilient compared to other regions
hence Java-centric players like Indocement should benefit. A new
government in 2014 may re-energize the investment cycle. Indocement is
our key pick for the Back to Java theme, given its strong pricing power
(superior margin and ROIC), dominance in Java, strong balance sheet, and
attractive valuation.
Kalbe Farma (KLBF IJ - BUY)
Kalbe derives 60% of sales from Java, with the company maintaining its
dominance across the pharmaceutical and nutritional segments. Rising wealth
and a growing middle class should bode well for Kalbe given its
premiumisation strategy. Meanwhile, more affordable brands like Zee or
Lovamil allows it to penetrate further in second-tier cities. Its strong brand
equity and vast distribution network are key competitive advantages to
deliver sustainable growth.
Pakuwon (PWON IJ - BUY)
Pakuwon is a main beneficiary of the growth in Java ex-Jakarta with 60% of
NAV from Surabaya. The company is the largest mall operator in East Java
and is poised to expand further. As a dominant retail player, Pakuwon has
bargaining power judging from its strong margin. It also benefits from the
property boom in Surabaya hence is developing a township in the east side.
Perusahaan Gas (PGAS IJ - Outperform)
Perusahaan Gas is the dominant gas supplier in Indonesia and should benefit
as Java develops and demand for gas increases. To overcome stagnant
distribution volumes, it is building a second LNG receiving terminal and
purchased interests in upstream fields in Indonesia. Disputes over pipeline
access with fellow SOE Pertamina is depressing valuation and creating an
attractive entry point.
Sritex (SRIL IJ - BUY)
Sritex is a beneficiary of rising economic activities in Java ex-Jakarta in the
form of improving infrastructure facilities and labour productivity. The textiles
and garment manufacturer has deep roots in Java. Established in 1966 in
Central Java, it now employs about 16k workers, creating a local economy for
the surrounding areas. Sritex is expanding to meet increasing demand. Risk
is rising faster than expected labour costs.
Telkom (TLKM IJ - BUY)
Telkom has 65k base transceiver stations (BTS) across Indonesia and
leverages off its parents extensive fibre-transmission network to ensure
superior network quality, especially in Java. With this, it can charge premium
pricing. Weak and distracted competitors will provide a golden opportunity for
Telkom to gain revenue market share. Telkom has high ROIC that will rise to
27.1% by 15CL. It has one of the highest ROIC in Asean, whilst EV/Ebitda
and PE multiples are the lowest.
Wijaya Karya (WIKA IJ - BUY)
Wijaya Karya will benefit from more construction activity in Java. The
company will profit from several channels: civil and EPC projects and orders
for its pre-cast concrete products (its factories are mostly located in Java). Of
the construction contracts won in 9M13, about 34% came from Java. Wijaya
Karya is our top pick in construction due to its better execution track record
among peers. The stock is trading at 11x, versus peers at 10x. Our Rp2,350
target is based on 13.5x 15CL PE.

Retailing in Java
As more than three-quarters of Aces retail stores are located in Java, the
company should be a key beneficiary of rising wealth and booming
property in the region, on top of benign competition in the home-
improvement segment. Half of its store expansion has been channelled to
Java ex-Jakarta regions in the past two years. Aside from location focus,
early data suggest that these areas delivered the highest same-store-
sales growth in 2013. We rate it an Outperform.
Three-quarters of stores are in Java
Of its 90+ stores, more than three-quarters are located in Java. The
company should be the key beneficiary of rising wealth and booming
property in the region, on top of benign competition in the home-
improvement segment. While Ikea will open its first store toward the end of
2014, we believe the impact will not be significant as Ikea tends to be the
weekend store for consumers given its location in the Serpong area (1.5hrs
travel from the city).
Expanding in Java ex-Jakarta
In the past two years, half of the companys store expansion (on area basis)
has been channelled to Java ex-Jakarta regions. Finding a location in Jakarta
is increasingly difficult and pricey given space competition. We like Aces
flexibility in term of location as it can also open its stores in independent shop
houses. In 2013, Ace has opened about 16k
m
2
in Java ex-Jakarta areas,
representing close to 50% of its total store expansion.
Early data indicator
Same-store-sales growth (as an early data indicator) also suggests that
Java ex-Jakarta delivered the strongest numbers. As of 2013, Java ex-
Jakarta recorded 6.3% SSSg, while Jakarta and outside Java booked 3.1%
and 4.3% respectively. Not only for Ace, but this trend is also the same for
mass-market retail like minimarkets (Alfamart). We have noticed more
consumer companies claiming weaker purchasing power in outer Java,
particularly in Sumatra.
Java-centric retailer
We continue to like Aces business model given its great pricing power and strong
cashflow generation, on top of benign competition in the home-improvement
retail segment. We set our target price at Rp830/sh based on a 22x 15CL PE
target or slightly above its historical five-year mean. We expect the companys
SSSg and margin improvement to serve as key rerating catalysts.

Key to CLSA/CAST investment rankings: BUY: Total stock return (including dividends) expected to exceed 20%; O-PF: Total expected return
below 20% but exceeding market return; U-PF: Total expected return positive but below market return; SELL: Total expected return to be negative.
For relative performance, we benchmark the 12-month total forecast return (including dividends) for the stock against the 12-month forecast return
(including dividends) for the market on which the stock trades. We define as Double Baggers stocks we expect to yield 100% or more (including
dividends) within three years. 01/01/2014
