The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (Minister) has issued an Implementing Regulation to Regulation No. 39 of 2025 on the Second Amendment to Regulation No. 96 of 2021. This new Implementing Regulation states that parties entitled to secure Mining Business Licenses (Izin Usaha Pertambangan - IUP) and Special IUP (IUP Khusus/IUPK) and their respective areas based on priority schemes are required to employ certified mining or geology experts and submit detailed exploration work and funding plans. Specifically, religious social organization-owned businesses are required to maintain at least 67% ownership and are prohibited from transferring or pledging their licenses or associated commodities. Additionally, state-owned enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Negara/BUMN) and private entities that receive priority status for downstreaming or value-added development must submit comprehensive development plans to the Minister.

The available public offering categories have now been expanded from four to five. This, in turn, has led to revised minimum allocation percentages and value equivalents for centralized allotments (penjatahan terpusat) across all categories, including the introduction of a new category. The allocation ratio between centralized retail and non-retail portions has also been revised from 1:2 to 1:1, resulting in equal distribution across both segments. This new framework also affirms that the tiered adjustment mechanism will continue to be applied when centralized allotment orders exceed predefined limits. When this occurs, allocation percentages will be progressively increased based on overorder levels, with higher overorders triggering higher allocation percentages.

In addition to redefining and expanding the list of criteria associated with Indonesian Sustainable Palm-Oil (ISPO) certification, this new framework has also revised various procedures and mechanisms for the organization of said ISPO certification, including the introduction of various new requirements relating to the employment of auditors and Internal Control System (ICS) personnel, as well as periods and phases for audits and surveillance (penilikan). As such, Palm-Oil Plantation Businesses are required to bring their operations into line with the updated ISPO criteria before a deadline of 26 November 2026.

The new Technical Guidelines for Investment Sector Partnerships now serve as a reference for large-scale enterprises operating under the following partnership schemes: 1) Partnerships undertaken by businesses that are required to engage in partnerships with cooperatives and micro-, small- and medium-scale enterprises; 2) Partnerships undertaken by businesses operating within priority business fields (Priority Business Partnerships); and 3) Partnerships that do not fall into either of the above-outlined partnership categories (Voluntary Partnerships). In addition to outlining a series of implementing procedures for these various types of partnerships, the new technical guidelines also address specific requirements for large-scale enterprises operating under the Priority Business Partnerships scheme.

This Regulation establishes a standardized framework for the management of giro and savings accounts by commercial banks (Banks) in order to enhance customer protection and prevent any misuse. Under this new framework, accounts are classified by their status based on customer-initiated activities. Said statuses break down into active status, inactive status (no activity for over 360 days) and dormant status (no activity for over 1,800 days). This new framework also requires Banks to implement a new set of uniform policies and procedures by 10 May 2026 and enforces tiered administrative sanctions for noncompliance, from written reprimands to restrictions on business activities and governance assessments.

In order to bring Risk-Based Business Licensing (Perizinan Berusaha Berbasis Risiko PBBR) within the manpower sector further into line with Regulation of the Government No. 28 of 2025, this Regulation establishes an extensive set of general provisions that address Business Licenses (Perizinan Berusaha/PB) and Business Licenses to Support Business Activities (Perizinan Berusaha untuk Menunjang Kegiatan Usaha/PB UMKU) that apply within the manpower sector. Moreover, in addition to clarifying the various forms of administrative sanctions that can be imposed in response to non-compliance with manpower sector PBBR, this Regulation also introduces several new specific obligations that certain manpower-sector businesses must comply with (e.g. obligations relating to the outsourcing of business associated with low levels of risk, as well as several business types that relate to occupational health and safety).

This new Regulation strengthens the management of State-Owned Assets (Barang Milik Negara BMN) that originate from Coal Mining Cooperation/Work Agreements (Perjanjian Kerja Sama Karya Pengusahaan Pertambangan Batubara PKP2B) by updating the responsibilities that have to be met by contractors, as well as holders of Special Mining Business Permits (Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus IUPK). These responsibilities now require additional follow-up actions to be completed in relation to asset utilization and destruction approvals, while clearer obligations now apply in situations where assets are lost due to negligence, misuse or violations. This new framework also clarifies that assets may only become state property if they continue to have economic value and has also expanded the asset categories that qualify as BMN PKP2B, which now include inventories, constructions in progress, intangible assets and other types of fixed assets.

Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 13 of 2025 (Regulation 13/2025) on Occupational Health and Safety Supervisory Committees (Panitia Pembina Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja P2K3) enhances Indonesias overall P2K3 framework by expanding the criteria for high-risk workplaces. The new framework also details the required composition and functions of P2K3, while formalizing the appointment process, which involves submissions being made to the Minister of Manpower, as well as relevant Provincial Regional Offices. The new Regulation also updates the applicable reporting obligations, which have now been revised from quarterly to semi-annual submissions, as well as requiring a structured reporting format that will ultimately be processed through a new electronic system after completion of a one-year transition period.

The Minister of Environment/Head of the Environmental Control Agency has issued a new framework that specifically addresses the implementation of Indonesias climate policy in line with its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. This framework establishes two main targets: a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during the 2025 - 2030 period (Mitigation) and the overall strengthening of national climate resilience (Adaptation). Indonesias Mitigation targets have been aligned with two pathways: an unconditional target of 31.89%, which is to be achieved through domestic efforts alone, and a conditional target of 43.20%, which the country will attempt to meet through international support. Meanwhile, the countrys Adaptation target is focused on enhanced resilience across the food, water, energy, health and ecosystem sectors.

The government urges businesses to voluntarily complete self-assessments via the official application for the assessment of business and human rights risks (Penilaian Risiko Bisnis dan Hak Asasi Manusia/PRISMA). Said assessments should be completed annually during two separate periods and broadly comprise 12 categories that relate to the application of human rights principles during business activities (e.g. human rights policies, work conditions, privacy, discrimination and so forth). Businesses that achieve a Compliant rating will be issued a certificate of appreciation by the Minister of Human Rights.
