However, this expansion was slower than previous quarter as its index was 17.04. This slow down pattern obviously matched with the domestic business activity seasonal pattern. The business activity always lower in the fourth quarter than the third quarter on every year, even though there were two big religious days, Iedul Fitri and Christmas, on consecutive months within the quarter IV-2005. These events had been strong stimulant for domestic market to absorb business products. Most respondents mentioned the higher domestic demand as main factor of the their business expansion. Other positive factors to the better business situation were earning increased of credit interest (in finance, leasing and business services sector), a conducive weather and succeed in agricultural harvest. Indications of increasing business activities were also reflected on better performance of macro indicators such as labor utilization, company financial condition, average of utilization production capacity, access to credit, and selling price. By economic sector, almost all 9 (nine) sectors except mining and quarrying sector experienced expansion with the biggest contribution from trade, hotel and restaurant sector followed by services sector, Finance, leasing and business services sector and transportation and communication sector. Based on sub sector, all sub sectors of trade, hotel and restaurant sector and of transport and communication sector experienced expansion. Within Agriculture sector, there were several sub sectors indicated expansion i.e., farm food crops sub sector, livestock & products sub sector, fishery sub sector (of agriculture sector), fertilizer, chemicals and rubber products sub sector. The contraction in forestry was even experienced since quarter II-2003. While within manufacturing industry sector there were some sub-sectors experienced expansion or increase business activities,i.e., transport equipment, machinery & apparatus sub sector and other manufacturing products sub sector. On the next quarter I-2005, business people predicted that there would be an increase on business activities in all 9 (nine) economic sectors. The positive index (20.02) reflected this optimism. This optimism has been strengthening since early 2004, moreover since quarter III-2004 which the index always over 20. However, the increasing predicted was slightly lower than previous quarter. The increasing expectation was mainly due to the raised of demand especially domestic demand, improved of market situation, increased of earning on credit interest (finance, leasing and business services sector), conducive weather and prediction of good harvest (agriculture sector). In addition, business expectation situation within the next six months, selling price and volume of demand/order/contract expectation were also indicated improve. Sectors which accelerated the increasing business activities expectation in quarter I-2005 was manufacturing industry sector and agriculture sector. Oppositely, the transport sub sector is the only sub sector, which was expected to have contraction. Methodology The Business Survey is a quarterly survey conducted since Quarter I-1993 to seek information about business activities on current quarter and its expectation on the following quarter. Respondents are middle-upper establishments that purposively selected by its operating size, economic sector, and region. Respondents has amounted about 2,000 enterprises. Questionnaires are sent by mail to the management by either on head offices or branch offices. Data collected are processed by diffusion index or net balance method, i.e., calculating the differences between percentage of the respondents who responds increase and percentage of the respondents who responds decrease. Unchanged responses are ignored. Special for business activity, selling price and the usage of labor, calculations were done by weighted net balance. As a Weighted is each sector share to GDP (2000 prices).

Compared to the previous quarter, this increase experienced acceleration. All (9 (nine)) sectors experienced an increase of selling price with the biggest contribution from mining and quarrying sector followed by agriculture sector and trade, hotel and restaurant sector.

As information that in this reported quarter PT.Pertamina (state owned oil and gas company) increased LPG price for about 40%. A small part of respondent also said that rise of promotion cost, labor cost, interest rate and exchange fluctuation influenced the increase of selling price. In demand side, rise of price was motivated by rise of demand as an impact of seasonal factor. The selling price / tariff / interest rate in quarter I-2005 was predicted to be increase, reflected from index 23.16 higher than previous quarter index (12.06). This prediction was based on expectation of increasing material price and higher operational cost. the increasing price in the next quarter I-2005 occurred in all economic sectors and sub sectors. The Usage of Labor...just small increase in quarter IV-2004... still insignificant labor absorbtion on the next quarter I-2005 The usage of labor in quarter IV-2004 indicated a small increase as shown by index 3.52.

It was reflected from the survey result, which noted 32.25, higher compared with the condition in the previous quarter (28.89). From all respondent, 37.98% declared that financial condition was good, 56.30% respondent declared constant and only 5.73% declared that financial condition was worse. Respondents who declared that financial condition was worse than previous quarter were dominated by sea transport-transport sub sector (in transportation and communication sector), quarrying sub sector (in mining and quarrying sector) and cement and non metallic mineral product sub sector (in manufacturing industry sector). Access to Credit Difficulty level decreased... In quarter IV-2004, respondents perception on credit access to banks was unchanged. The percentage or respondents who said easier and its opposite were same (14.46%) while most of them said normal 71.08%.

However by looking at the value, there was an increase as shown by increasing index to 57.55 from 53.95. The high capital cost has been mentioned as the main barrier on investment plan (54.76%). Related to the improvement climate of investment, Government has designed new investment procedures and reformed related institutions. Government is also pursuing comprehensive improvement policy covering on labor rule, taxation procedure, and infrastructure development. Inflation Expectation 2005 inflation rate predicted around 7.89% Based on the latest price development on quarter IV-2004, respondents seemed to change perception that inflation rate in 2005 would be higher than what they said on the previous quarter survey. The expected inflation rate in 2005 would be around 7.89% (slightly increased than previous quarter survey result 7.37%). The announcement of Government plan to reduce fuel subsidy on the next first quarter of 2005, has been triggered such inflatoir behavior on public as it used to happen in Indonesia. There has been such indication of early anticipation of retail market by increasing prices. The modus of respondents inflation expectation rose from 5% to 10%. By the way, inflation rate in 2005 started by quite high rate as January 2005 recorded 1.43% (m-t-m) or much higher than inflation rate in January 2004 (0.42%). While in 2004, annual inflation rate was 6.40%.
