Purbaya Targets LNSW To Be The Center For Export-Import Trading Intelligence

JAKARTA - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadive expressed his desire to make the National Single Window Institute (LNSW) an information technology-based monitoring center to monitor the movement of export-import goods in real time.

In addition, he also imagined that the LNSW system functions like a digital intelligence center capable of detecting high-accuracy flow of goods.

"I thought it was like in those films. I saw the end, I immediately knew the end. I immediately appealed, everything was caught," he told the media crew at the Head Office of the Ministry of Finance, Tuesday, October 21.

However, he added that reality on the ground is still far from expectations and assesses that the LNSW system has not been fully connected to real data, so the flow of information from various points has not been well integrated.

"It turns out that it's not too complete. At the end of here it's the same end there, in real it hasn't been linked to LNSW yet," he explained.

Purbaya also emphasized its commitment to fix digital infrastructure in the institution and targets LNSW to become a technology-based control center that allows the government to accurately monitor entry and exit goods in an integrated system.

"I want LNSW to be kind of IT intelligence. I know what goods come in, what goods come out, and I can appeal the basis in that one place," he said.

According to him, the basic infrastructure for this system is actually available, but the main challenge now is to unite various cross-institutional systems, including Customs and other institutions involved in the trade chain.

"There is a system, it just needs to be entered in. It's just an integration. There are Customs and Excise, there are others. We'll integrate it with LNSW later," he explained.

According to him, this effort is important to strengthen transparency, accelerate the international trade process, and suppress fraudulent practices such as under-invoiting which causes leakage of state revenue.

"What is clear is that I will monitor the export-import IT system so that we can handle leaks such as under-invoiting quickly," he concluded.
