In an effort to make Indonesia’s investment climate secure and attractive, the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) launches further insights on the licensing process. Following the suggestion of an extension on foreign property rights to 80 year, BKPM now recommends that the Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL) is to be deleted from the building permit (izin mendirikan bangunan – IMB) application.
AMDAL has been mandatory for every IMB application, as stipulated under Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 24 of 2007 on Technical Guideline of Building Construction Permit. At the same time, AMDAL is also a prerequisite to secure an Environmental License (Izin Lingkungan).
Head of BKPM Franky Sibarani views that this situation is problematic, as it will lead to interlocking licensing process. Therefore, Mr. Sibarani said that it is better to have AMDAL for Environmental License, and delete it from the IMB application.
“We recommend that AMDAL remains as an Environmental License requirement, but not in the IMB,” says Mr. Sibarani during a press conference at BKPM Office last Tuesday.
Mr. Sibarani emphasizes that the effort to delete AMDAL from IMB application aims to simplify the licensing process. Furthermore, accord coordination has also been suggested to achieve a transparent, integrated, and faster process.
BKPM is also currently reviewing the chances to simplify IMB application with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing due to Indonesia’s low rank on IMBs. Indonesia’s overall performance is way behind from any other South East Asian countries as it currently ranks 114 out of 118 countries.
BKPM’s continuous effort to boost the investment is by implementing the Single Door Integrated Service (Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu – PTSP), which was officially inaugurated PTSP at BKPM Headquarter by President Joko Widodo.
President Joko Widodo Said that PTSP’s will speed up the investment and boost the economic growth. He further praised the ministries and institutions that have handed over the licensing process to BKPM for a progressive and concise investment licensing process.
For the preparation process, PTSP has arranged 77 liaison officers from 22 ministries and institutions, to be placed in the front and back office to serve investors.
