Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry ( Kadin ) Suryo Bambang Sulisto Indonesia estimates , the losses caused by floods reaches trillions of dollars . " Certainly I have not been able to get it ( the amount of loss ) . , But , I estimate a minimum of Rp 1 trillion to Rp 2 trillion per day , " said Suryo told reporters after a news conference Chamber of Commerce titled ' Early Years Note : New Economic Leadership 2014 ' in Dancing Kadin Indonesia, Monday ( 27/1 ) .

Suryo expect , there is relief from the elements of the financial and banking institutions to the business community that is affected by flooding . " Maybe reschedule ( rescheduled ) loan . Such things may help , " said Suryo .

To anticipate the negative impact of floods that recur every year , Suryo asserted , the business community is ready to help . Assistance in the form of construction of flood control facilities , dredging rivers and so ready to be given . " But , if the policy course of the coming government , both central and local levels , " said Suryo .


That's the reason the central government asked to improve the quality of infrastructure in all parts of Indonesia . Due to the floods that hit many areas in Indonesia in January 2014 , estimated to cost up to Rp 50 trillion .

" We urge the government to monitor and improve the quality of infrastructure in all parts of Indonesia , " said Vice Chairman of Commission XI of the House of Representatives of the Golkar faction Harry Azhar Azis , in Jakarta , Wednesday ( 29/01/2014 ) .

According to Harry , efforts to improve the quality of the infrastructure started in the early stages of the government to tender . Because of this , when the tender process should be done at least 3 months of the new fiscal year begins a month .

He said , it must be admitted that the government continues to make improvements in terms of bidding for infrastructure projects . Even some of the ministries / agencies have also been doing it with since 2-3 months before the start of the new fiscal year .

As a result , the practice of corruption , collusion and nepotism ( KKN ) that occurred in the government bidding process , is reduced .

But in reality , Harry said , the room was still left corrupt practices . Because , it is clear a lot of government-run infrastructure , not water-resistant . Although water from only a few centimeters high , resulting fixed infrastructure , such as roads and bridges , damaged .

He explained that the tender system of government infrastructure projects has improved since using e -procurement . However , the government still had to check into the field to see the quality of the materials used by the contractor winning bidder .
 "Therefore , the government must continue to improve the quality of its infrastructure projects . So the state funds allocated for infrastructure sector , can be optimized . Moreover , during the allocation of infrastructure is large enough , then the matter must be of high quality , "said Harry .

Harry assess , due to the floods that hit many parts of Indonesia , the government suffered losses of up to Rp 50 trillion . Primarily , to finance various infrastructure improvements damaged by the flood . Including support for the development of a variety of means to prevent widespread flooding . For example , the construction of reservoirs in various locations .

Currently , Harry said , there are about hundreds of areas experiencing floods , both in Jakarta and outside Jakarta . And assumed , any area requiring improvement funds and post-flood recovery reached USD 50-100 billion .

Losses , he added , has accounted for some of the other infrastructure facilities . Among them , repair and improvement of infrastructure for irrigation and irrigation .

Harry added , assuming losses due to floods in Indonesia reached Rp 50 trillion , it also takes into account the multiplier effects of floods , such as social impact , the losses suffered by the industry and the business sector , as well as the cessation of social services for the community .

 Even further , said Harry , deaths due to flooding caused by the poor quality of infrastructure .

"Essentially , we urge the government to improve the quality of infrastructure in Indonesia , according to their distribution . The cost to remove the state already , it should be monitored seriously . So there is no room whatsoever for practices " rogue " which reduces the quality of the material . Because a result , the country will surely lose even more , "said Harry .

Because of that , he also requested that the Supreme Audit Agency ( BPK ) and the Corruption Eradication Commission ( KPK ) also began to focus on overseeing the quality of infrastructure projects is in accordance with the specifications and reasonable price or prices not dimark - up that led to the loss of state funds .

Employers claim to suffer losses up to billions of dollars as a result of the last major flood in Jakarta and surrounding areas in the last four days from Thursday ( 17/1 ) then .

Among other losses attributed to the distribution chain of goods that are blocked, stock products destroyed or damaged by water submerged , businesses were closed outlets , production stopped due to lack of power supply , the additional salary payments to workers who are forced off during floods , damage to buildings and vehicle .

"There will be no insurance , but not all . Keep a very big disadvantage and I expect even greater because this time it happened in the middle of center city office , commercial and business transactions , " said Chairman of the Indonesian Employers Association , Apindo , Sofyan Wanandi .

He said the association he leads estimate of the losses suffered as a result of this flood reached more than Rp1 trillion .

" Most major center of commerce , 60 % in Indonesia in Jakarta . Then losses due to material damage as a result of stagnant water , the production does not work because the power goes out , then the employee must be paid off when they continue to pursue the production target will have to love overtime costs , " said Sofyan .

Another count of losses come from the Food and Beverage Association of Indonesia ( Gappmi ) loss businessman who claims to 300 billion per day for food and beverage industry .

According to the Chairman Gappmi Sibarani Franky , a loss of that comes from the few small-scale to large losses .

" We also do not know what year , but it will be given its more precisely in urban areas . "

" Traders food - drink it in Jakarta about 15 % of the total number of market traders about 100 thousand people . Consider it a day 60 % of those affected by the floods and have lost R1 million as a result of this disaster . 150 billion That alone is right , not from the sector another , "said Franky .
Plus the non-traditional component Retailers and manufacturers of food and beverages , Franky can assess more precisely the loss .
.
Losses due to flooding are not new for entrepreneurs , but by Franky Sibarani , blow very pronounced for food and beverage entrepreneurs .

" Food and beverage industry that once rigid , the goods must be sent to a distribution depot then go by car or motorcycle . If it happens one - two- hour congestion , the impact can be very long. Especially if there is news to mention the flood situation worse 26th ( January) , " he complained .

More moderate estimates given by Tutum Ruhanta of Indonesian Retailers Association ( APRINDO ) who called losses due to flooding in the tens of billions alone .

APRINDO members of the class mini up hyper markets in Jakarta area , according Tutum , generally have two types of losses : due to flooded and damaged goods stores ( either owned or in the shopping center ) to be closed .
" We are still trying to gather the data , but at first glance it does not get us much . But that's just the victim of any customer , already flooded with too hard to find stuff , it is more important , " said Tutum .

However, it is difficult to check the truth of these claims because there is no comparable data are available . Government officials have so far referred to them also still counting this flood of data loss .
The most obvious count losses due to floods will probably most easily seen from the consumer submitted an insurance claim .

In the event of major flooding in Jakarta in 2002, the total flood claims for homes , vehicles , office to the factory , according to the General Insurance Association of Indonesia , reached Rp 1.5 trillion .

Five years later the great flood back pounding Jakarta and claims rose to Rp 2.1 trillion .

Astra provides motor vehicle insurance in the last four days until this afternoon already received almost 150 claims request emergency assistance due to strike , submerged or other problems . " This is roughly 10 times the normal claims , " added Iwan .
