| Summary: | This study analyses the development of Indonesia within the Global Value Chain (GVC) and the transformation in its
pattern of trade as a result of broader regional integration and more active participation within fragmented production
networks. By employing an Inter-Country Input-Output model covering 64 countries and 34 different sectors, this
study measures the integration of Indonesia within the Global Value Chain by breaking down its gross exports into
components of value-added, covering the period of 1995 to 2015. The involvement of Indonesia within the GVC is
analyzed through a set of indicators derived from a decomposition of the Leontief Input-Output system that completely
splits gross exports into components of value-added. The system allows for differentiating value-added exports through
intermediate inputs or final products, as well as direct exports, and indirect ones. The value-added components help
to measure multiple-cross-border trade, domestic value, and foreign value embedded in exports, as well as to track
how value-added travels across regional and global chains. The results indicate that Indonesian value-added exports
expanded by more than 300% from 1995 to 2011, suggesting a change in the pattern of growth as the trade focus was
re-directed towards Asian partners, mainly to specific sectors in East Asia: within mining (33% of the increase) and
within manufacturing (41% of growth). Indonesia shifted towards exports of intermediate inputs within the initial
section of the GVC. A substantial share of value-added goods traveled via regional partners towards international
markets, although most of the domestic value-added remained in Asia. Indonesia differs from its ASEAN partners as
it incorporates larger shares of domestic value-added in its exports than they do; it has a stronger role than they in
exports of intermediate goods; it is more oriented towards regional partners; and has a lower presence than others
within high technological exports. |
