Ibu Titik Anas, Executive Director of Svara Institute, had the opportunity to serve as a discussant at the 2025 Hadi Soesastro Policy Forum with the theme “Why Institutions Matter: How Cooperation is Key to Productivity, National Security, Social Stability, and Economic Sustainability” on 13 August 2025 at the CSIS Auditorium. On this occasion, Ibu Titik delivered a presentation highlighting that Indonesia’s weak governance and institutional quality—characterized by high informality, burdensome regulations, and limited market competition—continues to hinder productivity, innovation, and growth. She emphasized that strengthening institutions and fostering fair competition are key to improving economic performance, stability, and development.

We thank CSIS | Center for Strategic & International Studies for the invitation, and congratulations ANU Indonesia Project for the 60th anniversary

Svara Institute had been involved in several research projects for the Katalis initiatives.

In 2024, Svara with Heuris Australia were involved in Activity Manager for Moving Up the Cocoa Value Chain and Expanding Premium Cocoa Exports to Australia. Katalis, Heuris, and Svara Institute organized a market visit to Melbourne, Australia, for a delegation of Indonesian premium bean-to-bar chocolate makers and cocoa producers.

In 2023, Svara Institute served as a consultant to Katalis for the Economic Cooperation Program, conducting an assessment of bilateral opportunities in the Indonesia–Australia creative economy sector.

Svara Institute is proud of being part of Katalis' achievements towards stronger bilateral relations and sustainability of Indonesia and Australia.

Svara Institute is honored to have collaborated with Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on the launch of the APEC Economic Policy Report (AEPR) 2024. As co-author, we recognize the transformative potential of advancing financial inclusion to foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth across the Asia-Pacific region.

The report, titled “APEC Economic Policy Report 2024: Structural Reform and Financial Inclusion”, underscores the critical role of structural reforms in advancing financial inclusion. Supported by empirical evidence, the AEPR 2024 demonstrated a strong correlation between financial inclusion and enhanced macroeconomic performance. It also highlights the significant challenges faced by marginalized groups—such as women, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), Indigenous Peoples and individuals with disabilities—in accessing affordable financial services, emphasizing that financial inclusion is not merely a social priority but a fundamental driver of entrepreneurship and economic stability.

The AEPR 2024 presents a range of strategies and policies implemented by APEC economies, e.g., credit guarantee schemes, digital payment initiatives, and financial literacy programs to equip individuals with the tools to make informed financial decisions. These initiatives form a comprehensive roadmap for unlocking untapped potential, reducing poverty, and catalyzing inclusive growth. This pivotal release serves as a reminder for stakeholders, policymakers, and society that enabling individuals and businesses to participate in the financial system is essential for equitable and sustainable development. Together, we can build an inclusive financial ecosystem that supports equitable growth and economic resilience across the region.
