26 January 2011

Imagine if you have the money to Rp 1,000,000. Assume that big money can buy a new mobile phone. Then, the government made redenominasi rupiah from Rp 1,000,000 to Rp 1,000. After redenominasi, new money amounting to Rp 1,000 can be used to buy a mobile phone similar. Theoretically that’s only going to happen after redenominasi, which means the use of a new currency with the aim of replacing the old currency. The difference is, the nominal figures indicated on the new currency will be smaller, typically by reducing the number of zeros.

Based on empirical evidence, if the conditions are met, then redenominasi will not reduce the value of real income. Redenominasi also will not reduce the purchasing power of the old currency, which will be replaced with new money. One of the countries that are relatively successful doing redenominasi is Turkey, as written in the paper “The National Currency Re-Denomination Experience in Several Countries-A Comparative Analysis” by Duca Ioana, professor of Titu Maiorescu University of Bucharest, Romania.

The main fear pascaimplementasi Free Trade Agreement between ASEAN and China or ACFTA is flood of Chinese goods to Indonesia. Almost all eyes to the real world, even without electricity ACFTA, Chinese products spread to rural and remote areas. One country after another is connected to wires, such as China-ASEAN. It is unthinkable, if Indonesia refused ACFTA, Indonesia will lose the links with ASEAN.
Think again, the failure of Indonesia, who had “surrendered” without fighting is certainly an opportunity for other countries to invade China as a potential market. Ahead of the ASEAN countries, China’s population reached 1.3 billion people is a lucrative market.

Not only China, Indonesia will produce that goes for ASEAN to become less competitive because of import duties to products in Indonesia will apply normal rates are much higher in the category of Most Favoured Nation (MFN).

In the context of diplomatic relations with over 60 years of Indonesia’s trade balance, China in 10 years is really a big concern.

While imports from China to Indonesia is firmly, even tended to increase.

Trade show exhibits is similar like the table top display, but in this type of advertising tool, the products will not only be advertised on the table top but will also be promoted using the background display behind the table top. Another way to promote an item or product that often used during trade shows and other special events is the table covers. Table covers work great to change ordinary table into an eye-catching center of attention.

Another great thing is the director chairs, however when other promotional item such as the table top and the trade show exhibits can only be used on special events, the director chairs can also be used at home, since this chair also works just like any other ordinary chair.
