With a growth rate of 5.03% (YoY) in the first quarter of 2023, Indonesia's economic growth continues to demonstrate resilience and remains above five percent for six consecutive quarters. Export performance contributes significantly to the shine of Indonesia's Trade Balance (NPI), which has been in surplus since May 2020. In April 2023, NPI continued to maintain a surplus of USD 3.94 billion. In order to maintain Indonesia's international trade performance in terms of exports and imports, the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) has been established since 2010, managed by the National Single Window Agency (LNSW).
Simplification of export-import trade procedures, integration of the Export-Import Business Licensing process, improvement of non-tax state revenue (PNBP) supervision in the mining sector, and the implementation of the Special Economic Zone (KEK) application system are carried out through INSW. The strengthening of INSW's institutional framework, from its initial form to become LNSW, has also shown good performance. This can be seen in the dwelling time figures, which improved from 4.06 days in 2017 to 2.84 days in 2022. Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs stated that the INSW System must continuously achieve harmonization and synchronization, simplification, and standardization. For harmonization and synchronization, LNSW needs to focus on alignment to ensure smooth system and procedure operation, avoiding overlap. Simplification of business processes is carried out based on risk management through process automation, and the standardization of business processes should be to the current SOP and procedures to align them with international standards used in international trade processes.
