| Dissemination of terms and conditions under which official statistics are produced, including those relating to the confidentiality of individually identifiable information | 0.1.1 Responsibility for collecting, processing, and disseminating statistics Statistics Indonesia All statistics collected by the BPS are governed by the Statistical Law of Indonesia of 1997 (Law 16, 1997) and the Decree of the Director General of the BPS No.100, 1998. Under the terms of this Act, BPS has the independence to determine the coverage, contents, methodology and periodicity of data collection. Production index The Statistical Law of Indonesia issued in 1997 (Law 16, 1997) provides the legal foundation. It does not specifically state that BPS has responsibility for producing the Production Index. However, the Decree of the Director General of BPS No. 6 of 2000 does give BPS specific authority to publish the Production Index. It should be noted that this decree was issued under the 1997 Law and, consequently, has the same legal status. There has never been any challenge to BPS responsibility for collecting, processing, and disseminating the Production Index.0.1.2 Data sharing and coordination among data producing agencies Statistics Indonesia The state bodies, the Bank of Indonesia and the bodies keeping registers and information systems, stipulated by a law, shall submit gratuitously to BPS. There is no regular program of discussions with data supplying agencies. When individual problems have been encountered, they have been quickly resolved through bilateral discussions. Production index There is no regular program of discussions with other agencies. However, there are general problems with receiving data from manufacturing establishments on a timely basis.0.1.3 Confidentiality of individual reporters' data Statistics Indonesia
Production index The BPS cannot publish, or otherwise make available to any individual or organization, statistics that would enable the identification of data for any particular individual or institution. Article 21 of the 1997 Law states that respondents’ data must be kept confidential. This requirement is noted on all survey questionnaires. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in a jail term of up to five years and a fine of no more than Rp.100.000.000,-(around US$10,500). All questionnaires are kept in lockable facilities that can only be accessed by authorized staff. BPS has an aggregation rule that data will not be published if it relates to less than ten individual respondents. Even so, data are still reviewed before publication to ensure that there is no indirect disclosure due to the dominant position of one entity. Individual records are sometimes provided to researchers. However, identification details are removed and the researcher has to sign a commitment to keep the data confidential. When required, records are destroyed on-site by shredding.0.1.4 Ensuring statistical reporting Statistics Indonesia Article 27 of the 1997 Law states that all respondents must supply basic data on request. The penalty for not supplying data is a term of imprisonment not exceeding 18 months and a fine of up to Rp25,000,000 (around US $2,650). However, no prosecution has ever taken place, as BPS prefers to use moral persuasion to ensure response. BPS regularly reviews questionnaires to try to reduce the burden on respondents by, for example, reducing the number of questions. All questionnaires give a phone number for respondents who require assistance. BPS adopts a positive attitude to respondents’ complaints, persuading them of the need to respond. Production index All of the survey data used in the Production Index is classified as basic data.0.2.1 Staff, facilities, computing resources, and financing In total, 20 people are engaged on the Production Index program. This is considered sufficient for the size of the current workload. Staff turnover is very low and also salary levels are considered low. Not all staff had their own PC and these are connected to central fileservers using a network. Many of the PCs and printers are out of date. Compilation is undertaken using a mix of Excel Worksheets and SAS Databases, which fully meet the needs of the system. All PCs are protected by passwords. The office building is in old condition and create not too satisfactory working environment. The office furniture and equipments are still in good condition. Transportation facilities are adequate to meet the needs, although not for all of BPS staff. Funding of the statistical program is adequate for the current workload. The budgetary process gives BPS clear and timely information on funding for new requirements. 0.2.2 Ensuring efficient use of resources Statistics Indonesia There is a formal annual performance process for all staff. Work processes are regularly reviewed to identify any changes that would improve efficiencies. If necessary, BPS could recruit outside experts to review its systems. However, this would require budgetary approval. All of the work activities are financed on a regular basis, and this information is used to reallocate resources, as necessary. Production index
0.3.1 Monitoring user requirements Statistics Indonesia The 1997 Law specified the setting up of a Statistics Community Forum open to any interested person from any walk of life. It generally meets four times a year to exchange views. BPS raise issues of interest to itself and provides information on new developments. Participants can also express views on any statistical issue. The chairperson of the forum is elected by the participants. Issues that cannot wait for the next meeting of the forum are communicated to users by way of a newsletter. BPS also publicizes a contact point for users to raise issues.
