Official! Government Issues Guidelines for Implementing KBLI 2025 - Economy Business
The government has officially issued a Joint Circular (SEB) as a guide for implementing the 2025 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) in the administration of Risk-Based Business Licensing (PBBR).
This cross-sectoral agreement 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.
The SEB serves as a comprehensive guide for all ministries/institutions, regional governments, the Nusantara Capital Authority, special economic zones, notaries, and various other stakeholders.
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM Rosan Perkasa Roeslani believes that KBLI 2025 will ensure the licensing system operates more accurately, integrally, and responsively to current business sector dynamics.
“With a more up-to-date classification, business actors will gain certainty and ease in the licensing process,” said Rosan in his statement, quoted on Sunday (29/3/2026).
This system update is deemed increasingly urgent to support business activities. Currently, BKPM records that the Online Single Submission (OSS) system has issued more than 15.7 million Business Identification Numbers (NIB).
Rosan also urged all government agencies at both central and regional levels to consistently adopt KBLI 2025.
“This synergy is important to maintain investor trust and enhance Indonesia’s competitiveness,” said the man who also serves as CEO of Danantara.
Furthermore, to mitigate service disruptions during the transition period, the SEB establishes five main points as implementation guidelines.
First, the status of existing licences. All documents, whether Basic Requirements (PD), Business Licences (PB), or Business Licences to Support Business Activities (PB UMKU) that have been issued, verified, or approved before the implementation of KBLI 2025, are declared to remain valid.
Second, adjustment of data in the Directorate General of General Legal Administration (AHU) System. Business actors are required to adjust KBLI 2025 in the Articles of Association if there is a corporate action that changes the purpose, objectives, and business activities.
However, if the change is purely an adjustment of the numeric code without altering the substance of the business activities, the OSS system and the Directorate General of AHU will perform automatic synchronisation.
Third, inter-agency system adjustment. All ministries/institutions, regional governments, and zone authorities are required to align their service systems to support the integrated implementation of KBLI 2025.
Fourth, data and regulation synchronisation. This update is expected to orchestrate the alignment of business data across agencies to support more precise, data-based policy formulation.
Fifth, guarantee of certainty for business actors. During the transition period, the government guarantees that business actors will continue to receive optimal licensing services without disruptions to ongoing processes.
The implementation of KBLI 2025 is a direct derivative of BPS Regulation No. 7/2025 on the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification, which officially revokes the validity of BPS Regulation No. 2/2020 on KBLI 2020.
