Abstract

This study intends to assess the shock from national foreign exchange's primary variables, such as exports, imports, and exchange rates, for the period 2000-2019. The data utilized in this study came from the Indonesian Statistics Bureau (BPS), the Bank of Indonesia (BI), and the World Bank 2021. For this analysis, we utilize an autoregressive framework to capture the shock and explain its long-term influence on a country’s foreign exchange reserves. The results of the VECM study indicate that exports have a large, long- and short-term positive influence on foreign exchange reserves, whereas imports have no effect on foreign exchange reserves and the exchange rate has a considerable effect on Indonesia's foreign currency reserves. On national foreign exchange reserves, exports have a positive impact, imports a negative impact, and the exchange rate has a substantial impact.

Abstract

This study examines the utilization of renewable energy in Maluku Province, emphasizing an integrative approach based on local potential. Maluku, as an archipelagic region, has diverse energy potential, including solar, geothermal, microhydro, wind, and biomass. However, the utilization rate of new and renewable energy (EBT) remains low due to infrastructure, regulatory, social capacity, and economic constraints. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method supported by data from interviews and secondary quantitative data from BPS, PLN, and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The analysis was conducted through spatial-sectoral mapping, evaluation of actual obstacles, and formulation of SWOT-based strategies. The results show that almost all regencies/cities in Maluku have significant EBT potential, with suitable utilization in the household, fisheries, agriculture, and public service sectors. The main obstacles include limited interconnection networks, unsupportive investment regulations, low community technical capacity, and small market scale. The proposed strategy emphasizes community-based renewable energy development, integration with natural resource conservation, local community empowerment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. This study emphasizes the importance of a just energy transition that is contextual to the characteristics of the archipelago.
