Since the adoption of the Accession Roadmap for Indonesia in February\n2024, Indonesia has continued to demonstrate strong commitment,Jakarta\n(ANTARA) -<\/p>\n
Indonesia aims to complete the technical review phase of its\naccession to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development\n(OECD) within the next three to four years, Coordinating Minister for\nEconomic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The target comes as Southeast Asia\u2019s largest economy advances through\nthe early stages of its bid to join the Paris-based organization, which\nincludes many of the world\u2019s advanced economies.<\/p>\n
Speaking after a meeting with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann\non the sidelines of the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting (MCM) in Paris,\nAirlangga said Indonesia had maintained strong momentum since the\nadoption of its accession roadmap in February 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the adoption of the Accession Roadmap for Indonesia in\nFebruary 2024, Indonesia has continued to demonstrate strong\ncommitment,\u201d Airlangga said in a statement released in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Initial Memorandum, which aligns national regulations with 240\nOECD legal instruments across 26 policy areas, was officially submitted\na year ago. This reflects our reform priorities in the economic, social,\nand governance sectors,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Indonesia has so far received 20 OECD questionnaires as part of the\naccession process and has undergone Fact-Finding Missions reviewing\nenvironmental policies and public governance frameworks.<\/p>\n
Airlangga highlighted positive results from Indonesia\u2019s first\naccession review presentation before the OECD Environment Policy\nCommittee in April 2026.<\/p>\n
The assessment found that about 60 percent of Indonesia\u2019s\nenvironmental policies were already aligned with OECD legal instruments,\naccording to the minister.<\/p>\n
He said Indonesia was prepared to adopt OECD recommendations,\nincluding expanding action plans covering energy, climate change,\nenvironmental information, and transboundary pollution.<\/p>\n
To support policy implementation, the government has stepped up\nengagement with non-government stakeholders, including the Indonesian\nChamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), which represents Business at\nOECD (BIAC), and the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSBSI),\nrepresenting the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC).<\/p>\n
Airlangga also thanked seven partner countries \u2014 Australia, Ireland,\nthe Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland\n\u2014 for providing technical and financial support for Indonesia\u2019s\naccession efforts.<\/p>\n
Institutional capacity-building has also been strengthened through an\ninternship program for staff from the Coordinating Ministry for Economic\nAffairs at the OECD Secretariat. The program has entered its second\nphase and is expected to continue into a third round.<\/p>\n
The two sides also discussed the global economic impact of escalating\ninternational conflicts, particularly on oil prices and inflation.<\/p>\n
Airlangga called for a stronger role for the International Energy\nAgency (IEA), an OECD-affiliated body, in coordinating strategic oil\nsupply policies to help ease volatility in global commodity markets.<\/p>\n
