        "summary": "Indonesia has submitted reports on 20 of the 24 chapters in its OECD accession process, with progress estimated at around 80%, but it has yet to ratify the organisation\u2019s Anti-Bribery Convention. Coordinators say ratification, particularly concerning foreign bribery, is an early accession requirement and an opportunity to strengthen governance and anti-corruption measures.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs\nAirlangga Hartarto outlined the progress of Indonesia\u2019s accession to\nmembership of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development\n(OECD).<\/p>\n<p>Airlangga said the government had yet to ratify the OECD Anti-Bribery\nConvention. It has so far ratified only the United Nations Convention\nAgainst Corruption (UNCAC).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia\u2019s Corruption Law, based on the United Nations convention,\nwas ratified 20 years ago. But there is another instrument concerning\nbribery, particularly foreign bribery. We need to ratify it because it\nis part of the initial stage of the OECD membership process,\u201d Airlangga\ntold reporters on Friday (23 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Airlangga said it was necessary to ensure that businesses did not\nengage in foreign bribery. Economic activity now takes place not only\ndomestically but also across borders, he said, so the government must\naddress corruption both within Indonesia and when it involves parties\noverseas.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the OECD accession process is continuing. Indonesia has\nsubmitted reports for 20 of the 24 chapters, and progress stands at\naround 80%. Health is one of the sectors that needs further\nimprovement.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2026, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a\nworking session to discuss a draft gap-analysis report on the OECD\nAnti-Bribery Convention. This is part of Indonesia\u2019s accession process\nto the convention, one of the OECD\u2019s key instruments for preventing and\nprosecuting bribery, particularly the bribery of foreign public\nofficials.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion of the draft gap-analysis report followed Indonesia\u2019s\nsubmission to the OECD in April 2026 of a questionnaire assessing\nregulatory and institutional gaps, as well as a fact-finding mission in\nJune 2026. Following these steps, the OECD Secretariat prepared a draft\nreport and sent it to Indonesia for confirmation, clarification and\nfeedback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis process is not only about meeting the requirements for OECD\naccession; it is also an opportunity for Indonesia to strengthen its\nnational integrity system, improve the quality of governance and\nreinforce efforts to prevent and combat corruption in line with\ninternational standards,\u201d said Eko Marjono, Deputy for Information and\nData at the KPK.<\/p>",
