KKP: Government Regulation No. 28 a 'Ninja Path' to Ease Foreign Investment into Indonesia
Jakarta: The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has stated that Government Regulation (PP) Number 28 of 2025 will facilitate opportunities for foreign investment to enter Indonesia.
"With the enactment of this regulation, KKP wishes to ease opportunities for foreign investment to enter Indonesia. The government also wants to create a conducive investment climate," said KKP Director of Facilities and Infrastructure Ujang Komarudin Asdani during a press conference on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.
Ujang explained that the regulation addresses the implementation of risk-based licensing. He also responded to concerns regarding foreign intervention in Indonesia's fisheries sector.
"When it comes to investors, their licensing will indeed be simplified, but it must still exist. This is so that the government can provide a conducive investment climate," Ujang explained.
Simplification of fine sanctions
On the other hand, the regulation will also simplify a number of requirements for imposing fine sanctions on violations in the fisheries business sector.
The regulation governs the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing (PBBR). The scope of PBBR implementation covers:
- Basic requirements
- Business Licensing (PB)
- Business Licensing to Support Business Activities (PB UMKU)
- Norms, standards, procedures and criteria
- OSS system services
- Supervision
- Policy evaluation and reform
- Funding
- Resolution of problems and obstacles
- Sanctions
PBBR is business licensing that uses a risk-based approach derived from the results of risk analysis for each business activity, whilst PB is the legality granted to business operators to commence and carry out their business and/or activities. To conduct business activities, business operators are required to hold a PB.
