KPPU Grants Flexibility for Respondents in Partnership Cases

The Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha – “KPPU”) has established a new framework that governs procedures for the supervision and handling of cases related to alleged violations that occur during the implementation of partnerships through the issuance of Regulation of the KPPU No. 2 of 2024 on Procedures for the Supervision and Handling of Partnership Cases (“Regulation 2/2024”), which has been in force since 5 April 2024.[1] Consequent to the enforcement of Regulation 2/2024, the previous framework to address the supervision and handling of partnership cases, specifically Regulation of the KPPU No. 4 of 2019, which bore a similar title to Regulation 2/2024 (“Regulation 4/2019”), has now been simultaneously repealed and replaced.[2]
