The facility, which will be available upon request, will include an additional $5 million grant for technical assistance. "The government appreciates the attention and support from the international community in our time of need, including from the World Bank Group. Restoring the lives and livelihoods of the people affected by natural disasters is the government's utmost priority," Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said in a statement on Sunday. The government plans to use the funds for a reconstruction program to rebuild infrastructure and public facilities, including hospitals, schools, bridges, roads, highways and a water supply system. Some of the funds will also be used to rebuild houses and to improve the tsunami early warning system. The World Bank has looked at several indicators, including geospatial distribution of damage to infrastructure and residential and non-residential property, to estimate the loss from the earthquake and tsunami that struck Palu and Donggala in Central Sulawesi on Sept. 28. "By working with the government on resilience, disaster recovery and preparedness, we aim to help ensure that Indonesia continues its upward economic path," World Bank chief executive Kristalina Georgieva said in the statement. Indonesia is located on a tectonic faultline, known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, which makes it prone to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. But it lacks funds to mitigate such disasters. The country has only been able to set aside Rp 4 trillion ($263 million) annually over the past three years for this purpose. The World Bank estimates that the Central Sulawesi disaster has resulted in damage of more than Rp 8 trillion. This includes Rp 2.75 trillion to residential housing, Rp 2.82 trillion to non-residential buildings and Rp 2.5 trillion to infrastructure. +++++. https://jakartaglobe.id/business/adb-grants-1b-loan-to-assist-govt-in-central-sulawesi-disaster-recovery-efforts/ *ADB Grants $1b Loan to Assist Gov't in Central Sulawesi Disaster Recovery Efforts * The Asian Development Bank has committed to provide an additional loan of $1 billion to Indonesia to support emergency response and reconstruction efforts following last month's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Central Sulawesi.

Vice President Jusuf Kalla told reporters on Saturday that the government will request assistance, including long-term loans, in accordance with the country's needs. "We are still estimating the costs, including damage to housing and infrastructure. We will have further discussions with the ADB and the World Bank," Kalla said. ADB president Takehiko Nakao announced the loan commitment after a meeting with President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, Coordinating Economic Affairs Minister Darmin Nasution, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati and Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo on the sidelines of the 2018 International Monetary Fund and World Bank Annual Meetings in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Friday. The ADB's $1 billion emergency assistance is offered in addition to the lender's $2 billion regular annual sovereign lending to Indonesia. Half of the additional funding will go towards emergency recovery, while the rest will go towards rebuilding of infrastructure, including water supply, sanitation, schools, electricity, roads and bridges. The emergency assistance loan, which will be arranged in close coordination with disaster-affected communities, stakeholders and the government and have a 32-year maturity and an eight-year grace period. The ADB will also provide technical assistance for a government-led assessment, and for recovery planning and reconstruction efforts. Bambang Susantono, ADB vice president for knowledge management and sustainable development, said the short-term priority now was the provision of emergency assistance, such as electricity, education and health care facilities for people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Palu and Donggala. "The next part involves assisting people to rebuild infrastructure," Bambang told reporters on Saturday. The ADB previously approved a $3 million emergency grant, funded from the lender's Asia-Pacific Disaster Response Fund, to support immediate relief efforts in Central Sulawesi. The ADB president also praised Indonesia for its solid macroeconomic management, emphasizing the stability of the country's fundamentals. Southeast Asia's largest economy expanded 5.28 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2018 – its fastest pace in five years. "The ADB continues to support Indonesia through project loans for various areas, including energy, skills development, irrigation and border-area development, as well as through policy-based lending with a policy matrix to support public-sector management and the investment climate," the lender said in a statement on Friday.
