Jakarta (ANTARA) - Support national banks to the national contractors are still low making it difficult for them to compete with foreign players who began to invade Indonesia in line with regional and global economic liberalization.
"There is still minimal, especially for those who are struggling to get tenders in foreign markets," said National construction observer, Agus G Kartasasmita when contacted in Jakarta, Sunday.
The assertion was delivered a statement responding to the General Chairman of the Central Executive Board (CPP) of the National Construction Contractors Association of Indonesia (Gapensi) Soeharsojo when mengadiri National Coordination Meeting of Education and Training Institute for Construction (LP2K) Gamana Krida Bhakti in Bogor on Saturday (20/11) that a national contractor eroded by foreign players.
"We are not able to withstand them. Now there are about 150 foreign contractors who have entered into Indonesia, while the national contractors overseas, not until the 10 fingers, it was dominated by state-owned and two private," said Soeharsojo.
Data Ministry of Public Works says, of the total national construction market in 2009 amounted to Rp170 trillion, about 60 percent, construction services are still controlled by a foreign national, although in total only about 10 percent foreign. Construction Market 2010 is expected to reach Rp184 trillion and Rp200 trillion next year.
Agus, who is also former Chairman of BPP Gapensi this continues, the lack of government partisanship on national contractors have often complained and openly communicated to the parties, particularly national builder construction sector, particularly the Ministry of Public Works.
In fact, the contractors of other countries, will participate in bidding whenever abroad, always get the optimal support of the country, ranging from interest rate loans from national banks, to the opportunity to participate in the tender that ensured there was no contractor from the same country.
"Korea was the first if there is a tender in other countries, certainly no two Korean companies on the same tender," he said.
In addition, banking support to the national contractor who fought in other countries are very cheap. "It could be 3-4 percent or less. The contractor Indonesia, is still 14-15 percent. So, before you compete, in terms of cost is lost first," he said.

Advantages current national contractor, in addition to skilled workers extraordinary, Human Resources salaries also are cheaper than foreign. "It has been recognized by foreign contractors, the Indonesian skilled workers ahead of any country, while his salary is relatively cheaper. Indeed, mastery of high technology, energy, Indonesia is still far away from them," he said.
