Special Message from the President of the Republic of Indonesia 


I am pleased to welcome the distinguished delegates to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, which 

Indonesia is hosting for the first time. 

As Patron to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, I find it rewarding to witness how, year after year, 

economic cooperation among Muslim countries has been growing from strength to strength. In fact, the 

earlier World Economic Forums succeeded in promoting partnership for development not only within the 

Muslim world but also beyond. 

I am confident that this 5th World Islamic Economic Forum will also be successful in showcasing and 

fostering economic collaboration within the Islamic world as well as between the Islamic world and the rest 

of the international community. 

Indonesia is in the best position to serve as the hub of the wide-ranging interaction that is being advocated 

and promoted by the Forum. Indonesia is a politically stable and economically dynamic nation with a vast 

market of 230 million people, abundant natural resources, a highly skilled labour force and a pro-business 

policy environment. 

It is also home to the largest Muslim population in the world, the world’s third largest democracy and 

fourth largest population. 

Moreover, we in Indonesia are strong advocates of global partnership as a way of addressing the problems 

of our time. We believe that global problems require global solutions. Thus it is timely and appropriate that 

the theme of the Forum is “Food and Energy Security & Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis.” 

It is therefore my hope that in the course of the Forum the participants will find feasible ways of addressing 

the global financial crisis and ensuring food and energy security through a global partnership involving the 

nations of the Islamic world and the rest of the international community. 

Once again, on behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Indonesia, I warmly welcome the 

participants to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum. I also commend the hard work and creativity of the 

World Islamic Economic Forum Foundation and the Organizing Committee which will ensure the success of 

this Forum.

Preface from H.E. Dr. Sofyan A Djalil 


Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh 

It is a great honor to host the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum. As the largest Muslim country in the 

world, Indonesia is the appropriate venue for this forum where the articulation of Islamic principles into 

business practices are emerging to flourish. 

The pressing issue of food and energy security and the recent global financial crisis precipitate an urgency 

for economic communities worldwide to take charge in improving on their respective sectors and fields. It 

is therefore our responsibility to maximize the potential of this Forum with the hope that it may bring upon 

wide and positive impact on Muslim ummah and the world at large. 

The 5th World Islamic Economic Forum is not only a continuation of the past forum, but more importantly 

it will address wide-ranging issues by experts from around the world. The forum consists of several 

programs, such as Young Leaders Forum with the theme “The Leadership Imperative: Towards a Good 

Succession Plan”, the Businesswomen Forum with the theme “Women Entrepreneurs: The Driving Force 

Towards a Stronger Future”, and the Main Forum with the theme “Food & Energy Security and Stemming 

the Tide of Global Financial Crisis”. The event will be concluded by a Post Forum Programme with the 

theme “Indonesia in Focus: Tourism and Investment in the Region”. 

The forum will be attended by many distinguished guests and around 80 prominent international speakers. 

The participants range from prominent heads of state/government and notable captains of business and 

industry to young entrepreneurs and businesswomen from various parts of the world with a shared view, 

and that is to strengthen business collaboration among the Muslim business community at large. 

The post forum program will provide the opportunity for our distinguished guests to be introduced to 

the immense resources that Indonesia has as well as the vast potential that has yet to be maximized. 

This forum will put emphasis on the various opportunities that Indonesia has to offer with more than 37 

potential projects that we have specifically identified. These projects cover various sectors that comprise oil 

and gas, mining, agriculture, infrastructure, tourism, finance, and many more. I hope the program will give 

you an insight about the opportunity of the potential mutual benefit with Indonesia. 

It is my hope that this year’s World Islamic Economic Forum will bring much success through the 

contribution and cooperation by all of the participants and that this forum may become the platform for 

the trajectory of new and ongoing constructive relationships within the Muslim business community. 

Thank You 

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Preface from Tanri Abeng 


On behalf of the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum Organizing Committee, we are delighted to welcome 

our delegates to this prestigious Forum whereby the sole vision is to promote the ongoing economic 

development and cooperation in the Muslim world as well as the non-Muslim world. 

With Indonesia as host for the first time, the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum has incorporated a few 

additional enhancements to the existing accomplished formats of the World Islamic Economic Forums – 

Pre-Forum and Main Forum. 

The Global CEO Panel is our first addition scheduled immediately after the existing Leadership Panel of 

past Main Forums whereby the Heads of States and top government officials impart their years of wisdom 

on the world economy from a governmental and policy point of view. To support these pearls of wisdom, 

the Global CEO Panel will then highlight from a business perspective a more detailed understanding of the 

present economic development, pressing issues and potential resolutions. Following this CEO Panel, the 

visible and concrete outcome of such collaborations in the Forum’s economic enterprises will be showcased 

through the signing of Memorandum of Agreements relating to bilateral or multilateral investments, 

specifically in this year’s Forum with the host country – Indonesia. 

A final addition to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum is the Post Forum. This Forum will allow the 

business participants to focus on specific regional investment interests and raise awareness of natural 

tourism wonders belonging to the host country, with this year being “Indonesia in Focus” as its main 

theme. 

We hope the overall Program of the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum will bring novel economic 

strategies and ventures including stronger and more robust cooperation between the business 

communities attending the Forum, especially through the ample opportunities during the Forum for 

business networking. 

This exciting Program Book publication features all of our 3 Forums events – Pre-Forum, Main Forum and 

Post Forum with detailed schedules of all our plenary session topics and speakers. 

Last but not least, as co-chairman of 5th World Islamic Economic Forum, I extend our renowned 

Indonesian hospitality in welcoming our honored guests as well as thanking all for the continued support 

of our partners in the corporate community.

Message from Hon. Tun Musa Hitam 

Chairman of The WIEF Foundation 

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 5th World Islamic Economic Forum in the capital city of Jakarta, 

Republic of Indonesia. This year’s Forum bearing the theme “Food and Energy Security & Stemming the 

Tide of the Global Financial Crisis” seeks to address some of the most important issues confronting the 

Muslim world at present. Issues such as the global financial crisis, food and energy security, the role of 

SMEs in development, the prospects of green technology and its job growth trajectory are among the 

pertinent subjects that will be discussed in the plenary sessions of this year’s Forum. 

I am sure that this year’s Forum in Jakarta will be an informative and fruitful event for the government 

and business leaders and many others present, with the hope that more business cards will be exchanged, 

more business partnerships will be forged, and a stronger collaboration in trade in the Muslim world can 

be realized. 

I wish the participants of the Forum a great networking and enlightening session. And last but certainly 

not least, I would like to thank the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, the Indonesian National 

Organizing Committee and the Indonesian people for sharing our dream and giving us support to make 

this Forum an astounding success.

10.30 11.30 Plenary 1 

The Leadership Imperative: Towards a Good Succession Plan 

With 1.5 billion people and a burgeoning youth population, succession planning is the most urgent and 

crucial agenda in the Muslim world. In the present context, there is a shortage of people in the workforce 

that can play their leadership roles effectively. This has led to a slowdown in innovation and development 

in various areas of the private sector and government. It is therefore an imperative for the Muslim world 

to address this issue accordingly. 

• What is our vision for the next generation leadership? 

• What are some of the best practices in leadership development for the public and private sector? 

• How can we create a successful succession planning mechanism?

11.30 - 12.30 Plenary 2: 

Employment in the 21st Century: Understanding the Global Workplace 

Employers all over the world, particularly the multinationals, have a certain set of standards that they 

require to employ professional workers. These standards cut across religion and culture. On the other side 

of the same spectrum, the global demand and supply chain operates on certain logic and a set of 

standards. Businesses that do not apply these standards often fail to grow beyond domestic markets. 

• What is the logic of the global workplace? 

• What is the 21st century global workplace seeking in its workforce? 

• What is the core skill required and how does one acquire them? 

• What standards do young entrepreneurs need to attain in order to penetrate international markets?

Banking on Integrity: The Prospects of Islamic Finance in a Plural Society 

The World post-financial crisis is expected to witness a trend towards regulatory economics and a 

structural shift on investments from the western markets to other parts of the world. In a country 

like Indonesia, such shifts lend greater credence to Islamic Banking as a credible alternative to the 

weakening global financial system. 

• Can Islamic Banking give a new and higher moral dimension to the current global financial setting? 

• What more is needed to accelerate its development especially in a plural society like Indonesia? 

• How do we capitalise on this development?

15.00 – 16.00 Plenary 4 

Plugging Ideas into Business: Creating Innovative Industries 

Business ideas often fall on deaf ears because of a serious lack of institutional support and 

receptivity in transforming these potentially promising ideas into reality. There is an urgent need 

to create a conducive environment where these ideas can flourish and supported to become full- 

fledged business proposals. This is crucial if the Muslim world is to transcend the conventional paths 

of industry into a new realm of creative industries, with huge potential to penetrate bigger markets 

and niche areas. 

• How can the government foster innovative thinking in education and human resource 

development? 

• How do governments go about creating public institutions that supports innovative ideas? 

• How do we encourage the youth to forward their creative business ideas and what are the 

channels in which they can make themselves heard?

Beyond Scarcity: Overcoming The Global Food Crisis 

Not too long ago, oil prices hit the ceiling due to volatile production patterns caused by instability in 

the Gulf among other factors. This greatly affected the cost of food production, and coupled with the 

rapid growth of the biofuels industry which takes away food for consumption into the energy market, 

food prices went rocket high. Lack of international cooperation in this matter also meant that 

worldwide markets are getting tighter and the pain suffered by the abject poor only lasts longer. 

This is more so the case in food import-dependent countries where slight changes in price greatly 

affects the purchasing power of the population, which means millions will go hungry. The gold rush 

towards biofuel is also taking away food from the hungry. What are the immediate steps to remedy 

the situation? How can the Muslim world collaborate to mitigate the price pressures? Are there 

investment opportunities in food for global corporations?

Paving a Greener World: Creating a Future for Alternative Energy 

The UN reported that millions of new jobs will be created worldwide over the next few decades by the 

development of alternative energy technologies. More than a million people are currently employed in 

biofuels industry but that the figure could rise to 12 million by 2030. 

Green economy has to grow at a more progressive pace in order to take advantage of manpower 

needs fuelled by the cost of rapid increase of greenhouse gases. However “green jobs” are 

dependent upon subsidy shift from oil and natural gas towards wind, solar, and geothermal power. Are 

governments ready to invest on alternative energy technologies?

Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis 

The world’s financial crisis in recent months brought about great instability not only to the US 

economy but to the world at large. With a staggering USD700bn rescue package being passed in 

the US Parliament to salvage the colossal loss incurred by such names as the Lehman Brothers, 

Merrill Lynch and US’ biggest insurance company, AIG, and tremors being felt in most part of 

Europe and Asia, one goes to wonder whether this is the end of an era of debt trading and market 

speculation. Is debt trading a major factor of the financial crisis? Will the world go into a new era 

of regulatory economics? How will the new global framework take shape after this crisis is over? Is 

the world ready to allow market to develop its own financial needs of the society? Could Islamic 

Banking provide an alternative to the current banking system?

Global SMEs: Business Beyond Boundaries 

The key to success of emerging small and medium sized companies is the ability to steer itself into a 

lucrative and promising openings in the market and banking on it with the proper skills and 

resources. In order to do so, companies need to constantly come up with innovative and cutting- 

edge ideas in order to be on top of the rest in the industry. This requires corporate strategy and 

market research, especially when one decides to traverse beyond the domestic market. Knowledge 

of local markets is crucial for survival for example. Should socio-cultural conditions be a central 

element in corporate decision-making? How best can central and local governments facilitate the 

growth of SMEs?

“Building on Strong Foundations to become a World Class Business” 

Pertamina is committed to becoming a fully fledged business entity rather than a state institution. The 

positive and entrepreneurial spirit instilled in Pertamina since will support our transformation into a 

competitive national oil company with balanced upstream and downstream activities. 

Pertamina is working actively to increase upstream investment and move away from our historic 

reliance on downstream activities. However, our downstream activities continue to be upgraded, in 

order to continue our strong tradition of customer service and support. 

Our reform program, to increase competitiveness and efficiency, is well under way. Further 

liberalization in the Indonesian upstream and downstream sectors reflects broader changes in the 

entire national economy. Pertamina’s transformation is an important element of this. Above all, 

Pertamina is aiming to become a true partner for international and national oil companies. 

Although the change in Pertamina’s mindset has been most visible to consumers in its downstream 

activities, significant changes are well underway in the upstream segment. While investing more 

resources in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, we are also striving to partner with 

leading foreign and local companies to optimize Indonesia’s vast existing reserves. Good corporate 

governance, together with responsible and sustainable management, is the focus of Pertamina’s new 

way of doing business. 

While new acreages are being pursued, we are investing in new and better technology to improve our 

overall results. Pertamina is actively seeking to form mutually beneficial partnerships, creating win-win 

solutions that optimize results and develop the capabilities and skills of Pertamina employees. 

To support Indonesia’s national development, Pertamina is committed to improving its operational 

performance and to build a corporate culture that is clean, confident, customer focused, and 

competitive. We believe that only by following this path will we become the world-class national oil 

and gas company that Indonesia deserves.
