00:21Apple Inc., a US-based tech giant, has increased its investment offer to almost tenfold.
00:34This is done to persuade the Indonesian government to lift the ban on the sale of the iPhone 16.
00:42Apple is now offering an investment of almost US$100 million,
00:47equivalent to about IDR 1.5 trillion for two years in Indonesia.
00:52Previously, Apple only offered an investment of about US$10 million
00:57for the construction of a component factory and accessories in Bandung.
01:00However, after a new proposal was proposed,
01:03the Indonesian Ministry of Industry demanded a change in Apple's investment direction.
01:08The government now asks Apple to focus more on research and technology development
01:12for smartphone products in the country.
01:14So far, a final decision on the new proposal has not yet been made.
01:19The ban on the sale of the iPhone 16 that was made last month
01:22was caused by the incompleteness of the condition of the domestic content level or TKDN
01:26as high as 40% for smartphones and tablets.
01:30So far, Apple has been reported to only invest Rp 1.5 trillion
01:35through an academic development academy,
01:38slightly below the commitment of Rp 1.7 trillion requested by the government.
01:43This case is not the only one.
01:45Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, also faces a similar ban
01:49on Google Pixel products due to the lack of investment that meets the TKDN requirements.
01:54The government's firm stance reflects the new economic strategy
01:57under President Prabowo Subianto,
01:59which aims to improve the local manufacturing industry.
02:02Through foreign companies, the government hopes to create more jobs
02:06and strengthen the domestic economy.
