This study compares the economic resilience of Indonesia and Thailand in agricultural commodities such as rice, sugar, mangosteen, and mango. Both countries are agricultural countries in Southeast Asia and each makes a major contribution to the production and export of these commodities. Secondary data from government reports, international organizations, and previous research were used in a qualitative descriptive study. The results of the analysis show that Thailand excels in rice and mango production due to the use of advanced agricultural technology and efficient export strategies. However, Indonesia has great potential in the sugar and mangosteen industries, but faces challenges in production efficiency and competition in the international market. Through diversification policies and technological innovation, Thailand can adapt to the challenges of climate change and market price fluctuations. In contrast, Indonesia needs to improve agricultural infrastructure, increase supply chain efficiency, and create policies that help smallholder farmers. To improve economic resilience in these sectors, the study suggests increased regional cooperation and investment in technology.

Inflation is a complex economic phenomenon and has a broad impact, including on a country's import policy. When inflation occurs, domestic prices of goods and services increase, thereby increasing production and consumption costs. As a result, producers must increase product prices to maintain profit margins, which can reduce domestic demand and increase demand for imports because local prices become more expensive than imported goods. In addition, inflation also weakens the value of a country's currency, increases the demand for foreign exchange to pay for imports, and worsens the exchange rate. Countries with high inflation rates often experience trade deficits due to a surge in imports and a decline in exports, which in turn depletes foreign exchange reserves because they are needed to pay foreign debt and import goods that are needed but can no longer be exported. To overcome inflation, countries can adjust their strategies. import with more effective measures. Several steps that can be taken include: (1) Optimizing the Import List, namely prioritizing essential goods that are difficult to re-export; (2) Negotiation of Import Tariffs, with the aim of reducing import costs and increasing trade flexibility; and (3) Investment in the Local Manufacturing Sector, in order to reduce dependence on imports and increase domestic competitiveness. With this strategy, import policies can be anticipated and prepared proactively to be more effective in dealing with inflationary conditions. This abstract discusses the impact of inflation on import policies and strategies to deal with it, such as optimizing import lists, negotiating import tariffs, and investing in the local manufacturing sector.

This research aims to determine the implementation of Minister of Trade Regulation No. 51/m-dag/per/7/2015 concerning the prohibition on imports of used clothing in Indonesia and the legal implications for consumer protection based on legal certainty in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a type of normative legal research with two types of approaches, namely the Statutory Approach and the Conceptual Approach. Based on research results, the implementation of Minister of Trade Regulation Number 51/M-DAG/7/2015 of 2015 concerning the prohibition on the import of used clothing is only limited to providing guidance and supervision and does not make recommendations to stop the business activities of trading imported used clothing to law enforcement authorities. The facts that occur in Indonesia state that there is still a lot of imported used clothing being bought and sold in markets and thrift shops, meaning that the implementation of the trade minister's regulations has not been implemented optimally. Legal Implications of the Implementation of Regulation of the Minister of Trade Number 51/M-DAG/PER/7/2015 concerning the Prohibition of Importing Used Clothes for consumer protection based on legal certainty gives rise to vague norms and conflict of norms which results in the absence of legal certainty. This is because the trade minister's regulations cause multiple interpretations and conflict with the finance minister's regulation number 6/PMK.010/2022, so that the rights and obligations to protect consumers are not guaranteed through these regulations.

Using a quantitative approach, this study investigates the effect of port export and import volumes on economic growth in North Sumatra and West Sumatra Provinces. Time series data from the World Bank and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) from 2006 to 2023 are used as secondary data. The analysis uses the ARDL Panel model, which allows for analysis of data dynamics across time and regions. The results show that the three main indicators that affect economic growth (GRDP) in both provinces, both in the short and long term, are export volume, inflation, and exchange rates. In North Sumatra, export volume has a positive impact on GRDP, while import volume has a negative impact, indicating a risk of dependence on imports. Controlled inflation also has a positive impact, while the exchange rate shows a diversion. Policy recommendations are expected to improve global competitiveness and exchange rate stability through coordination of fiscal and monetary policies, support for the Export Capacity Building Program and MSMEs through the Regional Comprehensive Economic Framework (RCEP), and export diversification to reduce dependence on certain commodities. This study emphasizes that policies that are responsive to changes in trade at the national to international levels are an important foundation for stabilizing sustainable economic growth.

Wheat is one of the food commodities consumed by the Indonesian people. The need for wheat in Indonesia from year to year tends to increase but is almost entirely met through imports and makes Indonesia one of the world's largest wheat importers. Dependence on food commodities from the import side has a huge risk for national food security because in addition to the increasingly limited foreign exchange owned, there is also uncertainty in terms of quantity and price. The purpose of this study is to find out the factors that affect wheat imports in Indonesia. The variables in this study are foreign exchange reserves, international wheat prices, domestic rice prices, and the US dollar exchange rate. This study uses secondary data with a quantitative approach using 34 data. Data analysis techniques using descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study show 1) Foreign Exchange Reserves, International Wheat Prices, Domestic Rice Prices, and the US Dollar Exchange Rate simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the Volume of Wheat Imports in Indonesia, 2) Foreign Exchange Reserves partially have a positive and significant effect on the Volume of Wheat Imports in Indonesia, 3) International Wheat Prices partially have a negative and significant effect on the Volume of Wheat Imports in Indonesia, 4) Domestic Rice Prices and the US Dollar Exchange Rate have no significant effect on the Volume of Wheat Imports in Indonesia.

Rice imports have been demonstrated to influence the Farmer's Exchange Rate (NTP) significantly. A reduction in rice imports by 356,286.2 tons in 2020 corresponded with a decline in NTP to 101.65. In contrast, per capita, weekly rice consumption did not exhibit a statistically significant impact on NTP, as evidenced by the lowest consumption in 2019 (1.504 kg), while the NTP remained at 104.46. On the other hand, rice productivity was found to have a notable influence on NTP, with trends in productivity closely mirroring those of the NTP. The harvest area, however, did not present a significant correlation with NTP, as demonstrated in 2019 when an increase in harvest area did not prevent the NTP from remaining at a lower level of 104.46. Lastly, rice production had a significant effect on NTP, with increases in production during 2021 and 2022 leading to subsequent increases in the NTP.                  

Rice prices in Indonesia have experienced significant fluctuations from 2019 to 2023, influenced by factors such as production, consumption, imports, international prices, and crop damage. The highest rice production was recorded in 2022 at 31,540,522 tons, while the lowest production occurred in 2023 at 31,101,285 tons. The highest rice consumption was in 2023 at 30,616,081 tons, and the lowest was in 2019 at 28,930,000 tons. The highest rice imports were in 2023 at 2,715,854 tons, and the lowest was in 2019 at 6,197 tons. Global rice prices also fluctuated, ranging from Rp. 6,674/kg in 2019 to Rp. 8,667/kg in 2023. Crop damage was lowest in 2022 at 470,131 hectares and highest in 2019 at 819,444 hectares. It's important to note that the fluctuations in rice prices are intensely influenced by several factors that highlight the need for effective price stabilization policies to guarantee the accessibility and affordability of rice for the public.

The strength of a country can be measured through two elements, namely the military and the economy by looking at the aspect of the country's economic growth. National defense is not only useful for military needs, but also helps economic growth. Keynes stated that national defense is part of a public good so that if the country is defended, then someone will enjoy the benefits it gets. The purpose of this study is to compare and examine the effect of military and economic indicators on the country's economic growth rate. The study was conducted in five ASEAN countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand using secondary data obtained by the World Bank from 2009 to 2020. This research method uses panel regression with fixed effect model testing. The results show that the defense budget and the exchange rate have a significant positive effect on economic growth, whereas imports of defense equipment have a significant negative effect on economic growth.

This research discusses the impact of EU energy protectionism in the face of global challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the energy crisis due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Those two major events reveal the risks of over-dependence on foreign suppliers and the lack of diversification in the EU supply chain. As a solution, the EU has implemented various policies, including RePowerE, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), to reduce dependence on energy imports and increase domestic renewable energy production. Through the analysis of neoliberalism and Game Theory approaches, particularly the Prisoner's Dilemma concept, this article explores the implications of protectionist policies on international trade stability. The analysis shows that while protectionist policies can strengthen the EU's energy independence and domestic security, they also have the potential to trigger international trade tensions and protectionist retaliation from other countries.

International trade is something that often occurs in customs areas. Customs areas often witness international trade. Law on 17 of 2006 and Law on Excise No 11 of 1995 stipulate regulations regarding customs. However, in the case of exports and imports, it is difficult to differentiate between customs violations and customs crimes. The Customs and Excise Agency, an institution under the Ministry of Finance, is needed to handle customs cases. Based on the questions we discussed, the role and efforts of the DJBC in minimizing the increasing number of customs crimes must be discussed. The increase in customs crimes and obstacles. In their efforts to reduce the increase in customs crime, Customs and Excise is facing challenges. It is important to note that the national principles that drive the duties and efforts of the DJBC to reduce the increasing level of customs crimes can be linked to the principles and principles reflected the 1945 Constitution. Attributes of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) including nationalism and patriotism, sovereignty and territorial integrity, law and order, shared prosperity, and security.

This study aims to analyze the impact of globalization on corporate financial risk, focusing on exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and country risk. The research employs a quantitative method, utilizing data from the annual financial reports of multinational companies listed on stock exchanges from 2010 to 2020. Data analysis is conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including multiple regression to evaluate the relationship between independent variables (globalization factors such as exports, imports, and foreign direct investment) and dependent variables (levels of financial risk faced by companies). The findings indicate that globalization significantly influences these three types of financial risk. Companies involved in international trade tend to face greater exchange rate fluctuations, dynamic interest rate changes, and higher country risk compared to companies operating in domestic markets. To manage these risks, companies need to develop comprehensive risk management strategies, including the use of derivative instruments, thorough political and economic risk analysis, and investment in advanced technologies. Continuous training and fostering a strong risk culture within the organization are also critical factors in effective risk management. This study provides in-depth insights into how globalization affects corporate financial risk and offers strategic recommendations to enhance financial resilience in a global context.
