Overview

In the hope of facilitating and boosting cooperation in relation to electronic commerce (e-commerce) transactions that are undertaken across the ASEAN region, the governments of Indonesia and other ASEAN countries officially signed the ASEAN Agreement on Electronic Commerce on 22 January 2019.[1] However, as this agreement needed to be ratified in order for it to become legally enforceable within Indonesia, the House of Representatives subsequently passed the Bill on the Ratification of the ASEAN Agreement on Electronic Commerce (“Bill”) on 7 September 2021.[2]
