Indonesia Business Legal Guidelines
2023 Edition 

With the aim to push the economic growth of Indonesia, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has made efforts to simplify regulations and licensing matters. Notwithstanding with the purpose, the path is still mazy and the challenges are there to be solved, among others, the hurdles include misinterpreted provisions specified under the prevailing laws, complex bureaucracy issues, and other hindrances during operation in practice.

To support the intention of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, and as a part of our objective to be actively involved in ensuring legal certainty in doing business in Indonesia, we have prepared the guidelines to highlight the laws and regulations that are generally required to be complied with in conducting business in Indonesia. 

In providing this publication, we also refer to the rules that apply following the enactment of Government Regulation in lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 on Job Creation whose provisions render substantial changes in the regulation of many sectors in Indonesia. 

This publication is an update of our previous version of IBLG and will continue to be updated in parallel with the change in laws and regulations from time to time. 

We hope that this publication can be useful for parties who intend to carry out business activities in Indonesia.
