Overview

In an effort to ensure the economic welfare of the general population and a decent living for all citizens, the Indonesian Government has issued Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (“Job Creation Law”) which revises various existing laws in order to simplify the prevailing licensing regime, making it easier to invest in Indonesia and in turn hopefully increasing job opportunities across the country. One of the laws that have now been revised is Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management (“Law 32/2009”).[1]
