Abstract
This document presents the Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for the World Bank Group (WBG) for Indonesia, covering the period FY2021-FY2025. The CPF builds on past successes and blends continuity of the past strategy with change. The past strategy began shifting towards supporting private sector-led growth, based on investments in human capital and underpinned by institutional reforms. This CPF proposes a further shift towards reinforcing fiscal resilience, harnessing the potential of digitalization, integrating climate change considerations, and realizing the contribution of gender to promote a resilient recovery from the pandemic and long-term economic growth. Current conditions require re-focused knowledge and advisory work, inter alia, in public finances, governance, health and social protection as well as a rise in the volume of IBRD lending and IFC financial support tilted towards these re-defined priorities. This document details the CPF program for the first three years of the CPF period in light of unusually great uncertainties, within a five-year overall framework. The first half of the CPF period will be dominated by the need to secure a sustained recovery from the COVID pandemic.

Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Central African Republic for the Period FY21-FY25(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-08-04)The Central African Republic (CAR), sparsely populated and landlocked in the heart of the continent, is one of the poorest and most fragile countries in the world despite its wealth in natural resources. The socio-economic and health impacts of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will put additional strain on an already fragile system. CAR is at a critical inflection point, following the signature of an ambitious Peace Accord – with a subsequent sharp decline in violence - and ahead of a double electoral cycle.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of North Macedonia for the Period of January 2019-June 2023(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-03-21)This Country Partnership Framework (CPF) sets out the World Bank Group’s approach to supporting the reform agenda in North Macedonia over January 2019–June 2023. The CPF builds on the results and lessons of the previous World Bank Group Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) that originally covered the period from July 2014 to June 2018 and was subsequently extended by six months to December 2018. The new CPF seeks to address the priorities identified by the recently completed Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for North Macedonia. The strategic objective of the CPF is to support North Macedonia’s ability to achieve faster, inclusive, and sustainable growth and provide its citizens with greater opportunities for a better life. The CPF aims to support the Government’s program and medium-term strategy, which present a vision of accelerated economic growth with better employment opportunities, social cohesion and inclusion, and a plan to tackle the persistent bottlenecks. The Government strategy is consistent with the SCD’s vision of a better-connected, vibrant domestic economy engaged in the region and beyond as it secures its footing in areas of strong comparative advantage.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Cabo Verde for the Period FY20-25(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-09-30)Propelled by almost 20 years of sustained growth, Cabo Verde achieved low middle-income country (MIC) status in 2007, one of the first African countries to do so. The impact of the 2008 crisis on Cabo Verde’s growth trajectory was heightened by the country’s undiversified economy. Since 2016, the resumption of growth, combined with fiscal consolidation efforts, have helped to strengthen public sector finances. In response to these challenges, the Government launched an ambitious development strategy for 2017-2021, the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development. The FY20-25 Country Partnership Framework (CPF) will support the Government’s strategy through highly selective interventions.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Period 2020-2025(World Bank, Kazakhstan, 2019-11-12)Past economic success notwithstanding, this Country Partnership Framework (CPF) comes at a time when Kazakhstan faces growing challenges. Institutional and governance reforms have been identified by the Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) as the main constraint to achieving Kazakhstan's development goals. This CPF incorporates shifts in the World Bank Group (WBG) program that are intended to directly support Kazakhstan's development objectives and assist it in IBRD graduation. The CPF will also involve a high degree of selectivity to ensure that its programming is consistent with the WBG's value proposition to upper-middle-income countries as well as the IBRD graduation policy.Publication Country Partnership Framework for the Republic of Croatia for the Period of FY19-FY24(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-04-10)Croatia is a small, open economy and the latest entrant to the European Union. After being severely affected by the global financial crisis, Croatia’s economy is recovering, with growth averaging around three percent over the last four years. The over-arching objective of the WBG Country Partnership Framework (CPF) is to play a catalytic role in supporting institutional improvements needed for a sustainable trajectory towards EU convergence and eventual IBRD graduation. This CPF would support interventions to address Croatia’s climate vulnerabilities and protect its natural environment. This would be achieved primarily through ongoing and prospective advisory services, but also through potential WBG investments, including from IFC, and potentially from MIGA guarantees. The CPF will cover a five-year period (FY19-24) with one Progress and Learning Review (PLR). This approach includes a relatively narrow results framework that builds primarily on the ongoing portfolio and the nature of RAS-financed engagements. The PLR would provide an update on key areas of institutional weakness, including to measure progress against EU peers where benchmarks are available. While the WBG may contribute only modestly to these outcomes, it expects to play a catalytic role, and monitoring outcome indicators which are comparable across the EU will be particularly important to track progress in the areas on the critical path to accelerate convergence.

Publication Indonesia Country Climate and Development Report(World Bank, Washington DC, 2023-04-28)Climate challenges in Indonesia are intertwined with the country’s growth and development trajectories. Indonesia’s Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) takes a historical look at climate and development challenges in Indonesia to: (i) present a baseline for the future low-carbon and climate-resilient journey; and (ii) develop a framework to illustrate climate-growth dynamics. The framework is centered around Indonesia’s abundant supply of carbon-intensive natural resources-land and energy-matched by high demand for those resources in parts of the economy that drive growth-agriculture, urban expansion, industry, transportation, and trade. The resulting emissions have direct and indirect costs. They erode climate resilience and increase costs from climate shocks. Rising carbon content in the economy also imposes sunk costs for the low-carbon transition. Although these challenges are known, and efforts are being made to tackle them, the framework aims to link these economy-wide issues to the ongoing and future reforms that are discussed in the CCDR.Publication Indonesia Economic Prospects, June 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-06-24)At 5.1 percent in Q1-2024, GDP growth remains resilient surpassing the middle-income countries’ average. Robust private consumption accounted for 57 percent of GDP growth. This reflects consumer confidence supported by softening inflation in nonfood products, the hike in civil servant wages, and robust performance in consumer services. Public consumption rebounded in Q1-24 driven by election related and social spending. This rebound outweighs the negative contribution to growth of net exports as weak global demand and commodities price volatility have dampened exports earnings.Publication Global Economic Prospects, January 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-16)Global growth is expected to hold steady at 2.7 percent in 2025-26. However, the global economy appears to be settling at a low growth rate that will be insufficient to foster sustained economic development—with the possibility of further headwinds from heightened policy uncertainty and adverse trade policy shifts, geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and climate-related natural disasters. Against this backdrop, emerging market and developing economies are set to enter the second quarter of the twenty-first century with per capita incomes on a trajectory that implies substantially slower catch-up toward advanced-economy living standards than they previously experienced. Without course corrections, most low-income countries are unlikely to graduate to middle-income status by the middle of the century. Policy action at both global and national levels is needed to foster a more favorable external environment, enhance macroeconomic stability, reduce structural constraints, address the effects of climate change, and thus accelerate long-term growth and development.Publication Indonesia Economic Prospects, December 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-12-19)Indonesia’s economy remains resilient, buoyed by strong domestic demand and a recovering service sector. The current account deficit widened, driven by moderating terms of trade and cyclical factors that intensified services and income outflows. After two years of consolidation, the fiscal policy stance loosened slightly. Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia (BI) has been incrementally easing its policy stance while managing currency stability. Indonesia needs to significantly increase tax revenues to investment in human and physical capital to achieve its high-income status ambitions. The country’s public capital stock lag regional and structural peers, falling far short of advanced economies. Closing these gaps could enhance productivity growth and support the sustained 6 percent growth required to reach high-income status by 2045. However, the investment needed is substantial. A significant portion of this must be financed through increased tax revenues, as a substantial rise in debt would be risky and would violate statutory caps on deficit and debt levels. Overall, increasing tax revenues will require reforms that widen the tax base, improve tax administration, and address structural constraints to compliance. Reforms to widen the tax base could lower the registration threshold for VAT to align with middle-income country norms, which also applies to the temporary final tax for MSMEs. Meanwhile, a permanent final tax regime could be introduced for MSMEs below the threshold. Special CIT treatments, such as for construction services, publicly listed firms, and non-standard VAT exemptions, may be phased out gradually. Tax incentives need to become more strategic, time-bound, and systematically reviewed. Improving compliance requires better risk management, using high-quality third-party data and integrating fragmented government systems. Simplifying and clarifying VAT regulations can reduce disputes and administrative burdens. Lastly, addressing structural constraints involves deepening financial sector depth, which is expected to have the secondary effect of facilitating compliance through improved information and formalization.Publication Business Ready 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-03)Business Ready (B-READY) is a new World Bank Group corporate flagship report that evaluates the business and investment climate worldwide. It replaces and improves upon the Doing Business project. B-READY provides a comprehensive data set and description of the factors that strengthen the private sector, not only by advancing the interests of individual firms but also by elevating the interests of workers, consumers, potential new enterprises, and the natural environment. This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.
