        "summary": "The Democratic Party (PD) has endorsed President Prabowo Subianto's initiative to establish a special task force aimed at streamlining investment permitting processes in Indonesia, arguing that all approvals should ideally be handled under a single roof at the Ministry of Investment. This move seeks to address longstanding complaints from investors about lengthy and bureaucratic procedures that deter business and foster corruption, contrasting Indonesia's slow pace with the rapid two-week timelines in neighbouring countries. By harmonising regulations and shifting authorities, the task force is expected to enhance efficiency and boost economic growth through easier investments.",
        "content": "<p>Investment is a crucial instrument for economic growth, and ideally,\nall permitting should be easier and less complicated. I agree with what\nPresident Prabowo stated,\u201d said Herman to reporters on Friday\n(15\/5\/2026). \u201cIn fact, going forward, if permitting has indeed become a\npresidential directive, it should be under one roof at the Ministry of\nInvestment,\u201d he added. According to him, the permitting process has so\nfar often gone through various sectoral institutions and levels of\ngovernment. Therefore, simplifying permitting requires the transfer of\nauthority and harmonisation of regulations. \u201cUsually, permitting must be\npursued through several related sectoral institutions, even according to\ngovernment levels, both at provincial and regency\/city levels, so if it\nis to be simplified, there must be a transfer of authority,\u201d he\nexplained. He assessed that harmonisation of related laws is necessary.\nHerman hopes that with this task force, the permitting process will be\nmore efficient. \u201cHarmonisation of laws and regulations is needed; the\ntask force mentioned by the president could be to inventory the laws and\nregulations and unify them under one roof, making it easier and less\ncomplicated,\u201d he said. Previously, Prabowo Subianto asked the Minister\nfor State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi to form a special task\nforce to accelerate deregulation and simplify permitting in Indonesia.\nPrabowo believes that convoluted regulations hinder investment and open\nopportunities for corrupt practices. Prabowo emphasised that Indonesia\nmust learn from neighbouring countries that are considered faster in\nissuing business permits. According to him, the lengthy permitting\nprocess causes investors, including those from abroad, to complain about\nthe business climate in Indonesia. \u201cEase permitting, don\u2019t make it\ndifficult. Businesspeople also complain. They want to work and invest,\nbut sometimes they wait for permits for one year, two years. Whereas in\nother countries, it\u2019s two weeks. We must refer to neighbouring\ncountries. If they can issue permits in two weeks, why do we take two\nyears?\u201d said Prabowo. Therefore, Prabowo asked Mensesneg Prasetyo Hadi\nto gather experts to form a special deregulation task force. That task\nforce is tasked with simplifying rules and accelerating permitting.\n\u201cYes, colleagues, I ask the State Secretary to gather experts to form a\nspecial task force to accelerate deregulation. Simplify, don\u2019t\ncomplicate,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
