Government Eases Business Licensing Through KBLI 2025 Adjustments
The government has issued a Joint Circular (SEB) regarding the implementation of the 2025 adjustments to the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) in the administration of Risk-Based Business Licensing (PBBR), as an effort to strengthen business licensing ease.
The SEB was signed by the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, the Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas, and the Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti.
Rosan stated that this policy serves as a strategic step to reinforce legal certainty, enhance business classification accuracy, and promote the integration of the national licensing system.
According to him, the regulation is addressed to all ministries/institutions, regional governments, the Nusantara Capital Authority, zone management bodies, notaries, and business actors throughout Indonesia.
“The 2025 KBLI adjustment becomes a crucial foundation in ensuring that the risk-based business licensing system operates more accurately, integrated, and responsive to developments in the business sector. With more up-to-date classifications, business actors will gain certainty and ease in the licensing process,” said Rosan, quoted from 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.
Additionally, business actors are required 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.
The implementation of KBLI 2025 aims to ensure data alignment across business agencies, thereby supporting more accurate and data-based policy formulation.
During the transition period, business actors will continue to receive licensing service certainty without disruptions to ongoing licensing processes.
“We encourage all ministries/institutions and regional governments to promptly adopt and implement KBLI 2025 consistently. This synergy is vital to maintain investor trust and enhance Indonesia’s competitiveness,” said Rosan.
Currently, the Online Single Submission (OSS) system has recorded more than 15.7 million Business Identification Numbers (NIB), reflecting the high activity of business actors in Indonesia.
Rosan hopes that the implementation of KBLI 2025 will further improve the quality of licensing services, business process efficiency, and business data transparency.
