Confess and Pay Less: New Leniency Program for Businesses Suspected of Violating Anti-Trust Law Set for Introduction

In 1999, Indonesia’s House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – “DPR”) enacted Law No. 5 of 1999 on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair  Business Competition, which was subsequently amended several times, most recently by Law No. 1 of 2026 on Penal Adjustment (collectively referred to as “Law 5/1999”). As its title suggests, Law 5/1999 addresses a wide array of types of agreements and activities that have been prohibited in order to prevent monopolistic practices or unfair business competition emerging among business actors.[1]
