| Summary/Abstract |
This paper examines services sector liberalization and global production value chains in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the telecommunications sector. The study employs TiVA, Indonesia's Input Output (I-O) Tables and sectoral-level data for analysis, as firm-level data is not available for Indonesia's services sector. The value chain for the telecommunications services is also mapped to depict not just its contribution to the manufacturing sector, but also its importance for the overall growth of the economy. In addition, the paper delves into the regulatory framework governing the sector and the measures that can be taken to boost its progress.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the extent and nature of Indonesia’s SMEs’ participation in ASEAN economic integration based on a survey of 200 SMEs in the manufacturing sector. The survey shows that 79 per cent of respondents demonstrated awareness of the AEC. However, only 18 per cent of them were aware of the ASEAN Blueprint for SMEs. We found that 39 per cent of respondents think the AEC will increase domestic sales and the other 15 per cent believed it will decrease them. In terms of exports, 39 per cent of respondents expected their exports to increase in contrast to the 3 per cent who believed it they will decrease. Concerning their profits, 45 per cent of the respondents felt optimistic that their profits will increase, in contrast to the 13 per cent who felt they will decline. A large proportion of respondents were of the opinion that the AEC will affect them through: lower import duties (42 per cent of respondents); lower export tariffs (47 per cent of respondents); better custom procedures (42 per cent of respondents); better standard regulations (49.5 per cent of respondents); and improved recognition of professional qualifications (46 per cent of respondents). Our survey found a larger percentage of firms that did not utilize FTA forms (63 per cent) even though they were actively exporting, predominantly because of the lack of knowledge regarding their use. The Probit model showed a significant correlation between FTA use and export activities. There is also a significant positive relationship between FTA use and the probability of import. Furthermore, larger firms are more likely to utilize FTA forms.
