Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration and\nCorrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra has criticised the frequent delays in\ndrafting regulations in Indonesia, saying they could hamper\ninvestment.<\/p>\n
\u201cBusinesses are waiting to invest, but the regulations never get\nfinalised. They get tired of waiting and go elsewhere. They can invest\nmore quickly there than here,\u201d Yusril said in remarks at the National\nLegal Development Forum at the Law Ministry\u2019s office in South Jakarta on\nThursday (15 October 2026).<\/p>\n
Yusril highlighted that some ministries or agencies had yet to\ncomplete drafting regulations, despite President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\nadministration having been in office for almost two years. He questioned\nwhen policies in those areas could be implemented if the rules were not\nfinalised.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is still an agency, a ministry, that is preoccupied with\ndrafting regulations that never get finished,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost half of this administration\u2019s term has passed. If, in a\nparticular area, drafting the regulations is still going nowhere, when\nare we going to start implementing measures in those areas?\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Yusril did not identify the ministry or agency he was referring to.\nHe said the areas concerned could include mining, fisheries and\nagriculture.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t name a specific area; it could be mining, fisheries,\nagriculture and so on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said ministries and institutions should work more quickly and\nsystematically to address the problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to work faster and more systematically, and I very much\nwelcome the Law Minister\u2019s move, mentioned earlier, to simplify several\nhundred regulations,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/yusril-says-slow-rule-making-could-drive-investors-away-1792061502", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
