Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the political economy and fiscal implications of the Jakarta–Bandung High-Speed Rail (Whoosh) project within the framework of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Research Method: This study employs a qualitative explanatory case study approach using document analysis of government regulations, Ministry of Finance reports, KCIC publications, academic journals, and reports from international institutions. Results and Discussion: The findings show that the project’s financing structure increased fiscal exposure for Indonesian state-owned enterprises, particularly PT KAI, due to cost overruns and debt servicing pressures. The study also indicates that concerns about geopolitical dependency should be interpreted with caution, as domestic governance capacity, financing structures, and institutional risk management strongly influence the project outcomes. Implications: The study emphasizes the importance of transparent fiscal governance, stronger risk-sharing mechanisms, and comprehensive ex-ante fiscal evaluation for strategic infrastructure projects. Originality: This study integrates political economy and public financial management perspectives to explain the fiscal consequences of debt-financed infrastructure projects in developing countries.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze changes in gross profit and its components in assessing the financial performance of PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk. Research Method: This study employed a quantitative descriptive design based on a documentary review. Data were obtained from the interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, and were then analyzed using comparisons, ratios, and arithmetic decomposition. Results and Discussion: Net revenue increased by 46.33%, cost of revenue rose by 44.31%, and gross profit grew by 60.99% to Rp937,287 million. The gross profit margin increased from 12.13% to 13.34%. Of the increase in gross profit, 75.97% was attributable to revenue growth and 24.03% to improved margins. The 21.95% decrease in inventory does not demonstrate successful sales timing, while the 7.34% increase in depreciation does not demonstrate modernization without supporting investment data. Implications: Gross profit should be evaluated in conjunction with volume, selling price, unit cost, inventory, and cash flow to avoid overestimating efficiency. Originality: The study provides a breakdown of gross profit and distinguishes between accounting facts and managerial interpretations in the palm oil industry.
