Increasingly we see the government's approach to mega projects delivery is to


establish program management offices. You have been involved in the Crossrail
project in London, what are your learning in program managing such a complex
project and is technology an enabler for such projects and if so how?

You saw and heard Atif's presentation which shows most mega projects are over
budget and over time and their economic value is questionable. For an emerging
market do you think over budget and over time is something that we have to learn
to live with since most of the mega projects are essential projects with high
economic value?

What innovations do you see happening in the mega project space that may help
these projects be delivered more efficiently and with less risk in emerging markets?

Recently, Indonesia achieved a 15 place jump which is the highest jump for any
countries in 2016 for the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Ranking. What are
the recent government reforms that enable this historic jump?

What are the future opportunities for infrastructure investments in Indonesia. We


have seen some recent media coverage about the government willing to invite
private sector to participate in existing and operating projects. Can you provide
some example of the type of projects that the investors can expect to see coming to
the market during 2017?

The government's lead coordinating agency for priority and strategic projects that
you personally oversee, has had some very tangible successes in unlocking the
delivery of mega projects, including Central Java Power Plant etc. Do you think the
seamless integration of full-time management team hired from the private sector
combined with experienced government officers is a key reason for this success?

What are some of the new PPP opportunities that you see coming through KPPIP
and the new PPP unit in the Ministry of Finance next year?

What is the background to "Paradikma Baru" developed by Bappenas and what is


the current status of this innovative move by the Government, particularly Bappenas

One of the shortcomings identified by the investor market on government's mega


projects is that they are all awarded to State Owned Enterprises - what is Bappenas
Plan to attract private sector investments even in projects awarded to SOEs.

We also understand that Bappenas is very supportive of monetising existing


infrastructure assets currently run by SOEs such as Jagorawi toll road, airports
etc. Do you think Ministry of Transport current plan to sell only minority stake in
Ports and Airports are the correct approach?
At last's IEF 2015, the former Minister for Planning, Pak Sofyan Jalil announced a
US$ 150 million facility to prepare projects before they are tendered to the
market. What is the current status of this program.

Dr. Danang:

Nusa Patris is a foundation you founded to bring about some level of parity in the
provision of infrastructure across the Nation. Can you tell us briefly the aim of this
foundation and about the Saatnya Mendengar or Its Time to be heard annual
surveys.

You are also on the board of some SOEs what is your take on the governments
plans to amalgamate a number of SOEs into larger SOEs. Do you see this
happening in the near future and what do see the young people being enthused by
such strategies?

Dr. Atif:

In your presentation the costs and time overruns appears universal in developed or
developing economies. But for an Emerging Market country like Indonesia, supply
will have to lead demand No? Thus whether we like it or not we have to build
projects that are sub financial but projects that are super economic value. Given that
what would you advise the government to do re Mega projects?
