Overview

While closely monitoring the ongoing rapid growth in information technology, the Indonesian Government ultimately decided to revise Regulation of the Government No. 82 of 2012 on the Organization of Electronic Systems and Transactions (“Regulation 82/2012”). This revision sets out an updated regulatory framework for the organization of electronic systems and transactions in Indonesia, thereby supporting the government’s vision of transforming Indonesia into the biggest digital-economy power in Southeast Asia.[1] After a year of preparation, the highly-anticipated regulatory framework was finally rolled out recently through the enactment of Regulation of the Government No. 71 of 2019 on the Organization of Electronic Systems and Transactions (“Regulation 71/2019”).
