Manila - Bank Pembangunan Asia (ADB) memberikan tambahan pinjaman senilai US$ 280 juta atau sekitar Rp 3,4 triliun untuk proyek infrastruktur di Indonesia.
Pinjaman ini akan digunakan untuk membiayai 3 subprogram dalam program Infrastructure Reform Sector Development Program yang disetujui pada 2006.
Seperti dilansir siaran pers dari ADB, Kamis (27/11/2008), bantuan ADB ini berasal dari sumber pendanaan internal ADB dan memiliki jangka waktu selama 15 tahun termasuk 3 tahun masa tenggang.
Dengan proyek ini diharapkan bisa merayu partisipasi sektor swasta untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam pembiayaan infrastruktur.
Dengan adanya partisipasi swasta diharapkan bisa meningkatkan iklim investasi dan meningkatkan akses terhadap pelayanan.
"Permintaan domestik dan investasi swasta telah menjadi pemicu utama dari pertumbuhan ekonomi saat ini. Kemajuan negara Indonesia lebih signifikan meski banyak bencana termasuk tsunami di tahun 2004," ujar Rehan Kausar, Infrastructure Specialist dari Departemen Asia Selatan ADB.
ADB memprediksi pemerintah Indonesia masih membutuhkan sekitar US$ 65 miliar untuk membangun infrastruktur baru pada tahun 2005-2009. Sekitar US$ 25 miliar akan dibiayai dari anggaran pemerintah, US$ 14 miliar dari perbankan domestik, dana pensiun dan asuransi, US$ 10 miliar dari mitra bilateral dan multilateral dan sisanya harus diambil dari sektor swasta.
ADB mencatat pertumbuhan investasi di bidang infrastruktur di Indonesia sudah meningkat menjadi 3,3 persen PDB pada tahun 2006 dibanding 2,9 persen pada 2005.

UPDATE 4-UBS says finds some US tax fraud cases
By Lisa Jucca and Albert Schmieder
LUCERNE, Switzerland, Nov 27 (Reuters) - UBS said on Thursday it has discovered a few cases of tax fraud as part of a U.S. inquiry into whether it helped wealthy Americans dodge taxes through accounts in Switzerland.
'Our investigations have uncovered a limited number of cases of tax fraud under both U.S. and Swiss law,' Chairman Peter Kurer told 2,400 shareholders gathered to vote on the bank raising 6 billion Swiss francs ($5 billion) with a convertible bond issue to the Swiss state.
Kurer, who took over in April, also said current and former top executives would give up 70 million francs in bonuses they received after coming under fire for accepting fat salaries despite steering Switzerland's flagship bank into heavy losses.
He reiterated that UBS, one of the hardest-hit banks in the subprime turmoil, still aimed to make a profit in 2009, but stressed market conditions remained difficult. UBS made a small third-quarter profit, mainly thanks to tax gains and accounting factors, but analysts expect it to take a new hit this quarter.
UBS is also under pressure from the U.S. tax investigation launched earlier this year, which led to the indictment of the bank's head of global wealth management this month and threatens to weaken Switzerland's precious banking secrecy laws.
But bank-client confidentiality, a pillar of Swiss banking, 'is not there to protect cases of tax fraud,' Kurer said, suggesting UBS could be ready to hand over some client details to U.S. authorities as part of a possible settlement.
The U.S. authorities are seeking the names of about 17,000 U.S. clients of UBS who have Swiss-based bank accounts. Swiss lawyers representing U.S. clients of UBS have said Switzerland is considering disclosing information on only a few hundred.
HUMBLE APPROACH
Kurer, who is trying to rebuild the bank's reputation after it was forced to write down about $49 billion on risky subprime assets, said UBS had taken broad measures to address its shortcomings, including aggressively reducing its balance sheet and overhauling its pay structure.
The chairman said he was personally replying to the many angry shareholders who had written to express their discontent with UBS, formerly an icon of Swiss banking whose stock used to be popular among Swiss retail investors.
Under the new pay system, the chairman will not get bonuses. Ex-Chairman Marcel Ospel, whose drive into investment banking many analysts blame for UBS's present woes, has also returned some of his pay, along with other executives.
'UBS is a leader in this regard,' Kurer said, adding he was working on getting more bonuses waived or returned.
'Those who are responsible must be brought to court,' said a 68-year-old UBS investor who lost much of his pension savings.
'I have lost nearly all what I and my wife had saved up for later years. What am I going to do now.?'
Kurer gave no details on to what extent UBS was stemming client money withdrawals, which totalled a record $49 billion in the third quarter in its core wealth management business.
UBS said earlier this month the pace of client outflows had started to ease after the Swiss government announced its rescue package. The deal also allows UBS to hive off up to $60 billion of illiquid assets in a special central bank-controlled fund.
He said the Swiss government intervention -- including the 6 billion francs of new capital the shareholders approved on Thursday, 'has helped bolster confidence in UBS and the Swiss banking and financial services industry as a whole.'
UBS shares, which have lost more than two thirds of their market value this year, rallied 4 percent earlier on Thursday, but later trimmed gains. They were up 2.4 percent at 15.16 Swiss francs at 1307 GMT, when the DJ Stoxx European banking sector index was up 2.5 percent.
'Kurer's forecast that 2009 will be profitable may help. But he has also warned that the situation could get worse,' said a trader.
