Sarmuji, stressed\nthat delays in business licensing must not persist. He urged the\ngovernment to evaluate regulations that unnecessarily complicate the\ninvestment process. \u201cWe must review all regulations that hinder\ninvestment permits. Back then, there was a term called deregulation,\u201d\nSarmuji said in Jakarta on Friday, May 16, 2026, as quoted by\nAntara.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that simplifying business permits must be accompanied\nby regulatory synchronization across agencies to ensure efficiency and\nprovide legal certainty for investors. Overlapping regulations between\nthe central government and local administrations remain a major\nobstacle, often leading to disputes over authority. \u201cThere are\nweaknesses in coordination, both vertically and horizontally,\u201d he\nnoted.<\/p>\n<p>Sarmuji added that the complex licensing issue has persisted for\nyears without resolution. He welcomed President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\ninitiative to prioritize national regulatory reform.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, President Prabowo urged ministries and agencies to\naccelerate bureaucratic reform in business licensing. \u201cBusinesspeople\nare also complaining. They want to work, and they want to invest, but\nsometimes they have to wait for a permit for one year, two years,\u201d the\nPresident said during an event at the Attorney General\u2019s Office on\nWednesday, May 13.<\/p>\n<p>The President also instructed the Minister of State Secretary,\nPrasetyo Hadi, to establish a deregulation task force to eliminate\noverlapping rules. \u201cWe will crack down on violators, but those who are\ngood, who truly want to work, yes, they must be helped,\u201d he said.\n***<\/p>\n<p>News Recomendation<\/p>\n<p>Loading latest news\u2026..<\/p>",
