The letter is considered constructive input that is highly valuable to the government in mapping various investment challenges in the field. Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, Todotua Pasaribu, stressed that the aspirations conveyed by investors from the Bamboo Curtain country represent a common dynamic in the global business ecosystem. The notes provided actually serve as an important instrument for the government to conduct evaluations aimed at creating a better business climate. “We consider it a positive thing that provides input to the government. They even see the conditions with notes that become challenges in this country,” Todotua stated at the BKPM office in Jakarta on Wednesday, 13 May 2026.
