Kita harap bersama ketika IUAE-CEPA ini diimplementasikan, peningkatan kinerja sektor perdagangan, dan investasi yang didorong melaluiI UAE-CEPA dapat semakin mengakselerasi upaya pemulihan ekonomi pascapandemi Covid-19 serta meningkatkan daya saing Indonesia,” imbuh Mendag, Zulkifli Hasan.

Isu ekonomi Islam dalam IUAE-CEPA ini juga menjadi satu catatan sejarah bagi Indonesia. Untuk kali pertama, isu ekonomi Islam/syariah dimasukkan sebagai salah satu cakupan persetujuan kemitraan ekonomi komprehensif dengan negara mitra dagang Indonesia.
“Pengaturan pada bab terkait ekonomi Islam dalam IUAE-CEPA, yang merupakan terobosan unik bagi Indonesia dalam upaya pengembangan kerja sama terkait ekonomi Islam, antara lain melibatkan saling diakuinya sertifikasi halal masing-masing negara, usaha kecil dan menengah, serta ekonomi digital. Masih dalam bab yang sama, turut diatur kerja sama pengembangan sektor ekonomi Islam yang mencakup bahan mentah, makanan dan minuman, obat-obatan dan kosmetik, modest fashion, pariwisata, media dan rekreasi, serta pembiayaan Islami (Islamic finance),” ungkap Djatmiko.

Minister of Trade: Indonesia-UAE CEPA Agreement Efforts to Increase Exports to the Gulf Region and Middle East | OBROLANBISNIS.com — The Indonesia-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IUAE-CEPA) was finally signed only nine months after it was launched by the trade ministers of the two countries.
This achievement is in line with the target given by the two heads of state, namely the completion of negotiations in less than one year.
The signing of the IUAE–CEPA was carried out by the Indonesian Minister of Trade (Minister of Trade), Zulkifli Hasan and the Minister of Economy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri. The signing coincided with the working visit of Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
The signing of the IUAE-CEPA is a historic moment because this is the first time Indonesia has a trade agreement with a country in the Gulf region.
“The President of the Republic of Indonesia positively welcomes the completion of the IUAE-CEPA agreement. This agreement is Indonesia’s entry point to the UAE, which is a hub for increasing exports to non-traditional destination countries such as the Gulf, Middle East, Africa and South Asia,” said the Minister of Trade, Zulkifli Hasan.
The completion of the IUAE-CEPA is at the same time the right momentum for economic recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Covid-19 has caused almost all countries in the world to experience a slowdown in economic growth. We hope that when the IUAE-CEPA is implemented, the increased performance of the trade and investment sectors driven through the UAE-CEPA can further accelerate efforts to recover the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic and improve Indonesia’s competitiveness,” added the Minister of Trade, Zulkifli Hasan.
Meanwhile, the Director General of International Trade Negotiations at the Ministry of Trade, Djatmiko Bris Witjaksono, stated that the IUAE-CEPA negotiations were very beneficial for Indonesia.
One of the reasons is the opening of market access to the UAE through the reduction and elimination of import duty rates of around 94 percent of the total tariff posts with a direct or gradual reduction mechanism when the agreement takes effect (entry into force).
The IUAE-CEPA agreement covers arrangements in the fields of trade in goods, trade in services, investment, intellectual property rights, Islamic economics, provisions on origin of goods, customs procedures and trade facilitation, economic cooperation, government procurement of goods and services, small and medium enterprises, digital trade, and legal provisions and institutional issues.
The issue of Islamic economics in the IUAE-CEPA has also become a historical record for Indonesia. For the first time, the issue of Islamic/Sharia economics is included as one of the scopes of the comprehensive economic partnership agreement with Indonesia’s trading partner countries.
“The arrangements for the chapter related to Islamic economics in the IUAE-CEPA, which are a unique breakthrough for Indonesia in efforts to develop cooperation related to the Islamic economy, include, among others, involving the mutual recognition of each country’s halal certification, small and medium enterprises, and the digital economy. Still in progress In the same chapter, cooperation in the development of the Islamic economic sector includes raw materials, food and beverages, medicines and cosmetics, modest fashion, tourism, media and recreation, as well as Islamic finance,” said Djatmiko.
Based on the UAE-CEPA Cost Benefit and Prognosis analysis, in the ten years since the entry into force (EIF), Indonesia’s exports to the UAE are projected to increase by USD 844.4 million or an increase of 53.90 percent. In addition, Indonesia’s imports from the UAE are also projected to increase by 307.3 million or around 18.26 percent. This can be used to reduce the trade deficit with the UAE.
After it is signed, the next process is the ratification or ratification of the IUAE-CEPA which will be carried out jointly by the government and the DPR RI before finally being able to take effect and can be utilized by business actors of the two countries.
