Aligning KBLI, Government Eases Business Licensing
The government has issued a Joint Circular (SEB) regarding the implementation of the 2025 adjustment to the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) in the administration of Risk-Based Business Licensing (PBBR). This is an effort to strengthen the ease of business licensing. The SEB was signed by the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, Minister of Law Supratman Andi Atgas, and Head of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti.
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, Rosan Roeslani, stated that this policy is a strategic step to strengthen legal certainty, increase the accuracy of business classification, and encourage the integration of the national licensing system. According to him, the regulation is addressed to all ministries/institutions, regional governments, the Nusantara Capital Authority, area management bodies, notaries, and business actors throughout Indonesia.
“The 2025 KBLI adjustment serves as an important foundation in ensuring that the risk-based business licensing system operates more accurately, integrated, and responsive to developments in the business sector. With a more up-to-date classification, business actors will gain certainty and ease in the licensing process,” said Rosan, as reported by Antara, on Sunday, 29 March 2026.
Through this policy, the government ensures that Basic Requirements (PD), Business Licences (PB), and Business Licences to Support Business Activities (PB UMKU) that have already been issued, verified, or approved before the implementation of KBLI 2025, remain valid.
In addition, business actors are requested to adjust their data in the General Legal Administration (AHU) system if there are changes in business activities, while adjustments to numeric codes without substantive changes will be carried out automatically by the system.
The government also mandates all ministries, institutions, and regional governments to adjust their systems and services to support the integrated implementation of KBLI 2025. This implementation aims to ensure alignment of business data across agencies, thereby supporting the preparation of more accurate and data-based policies.
