Purbaya Introduces Debottlenecking Task Force to Global Investors, Claims It Will Accelerate Investments...
Jakarta, Aktual.com — Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa introduced the Task Force for Accelerating Strategic Government Programmes (Satgas P2SP) to global investors as an effort to speed up investment realisation and address various business obstacles in Indonesia.
In his statement following the “International Seminar on Debottlenecking Channel” at the Ministry of Finance office on Tuesday, Purbaya acknowledged that many foreign investors are still unaware of the existence of this complaint channel. However, the task force has been operational since December 2025 to assist domestic businesses in overcoming permitting and business process challenges.
“One investor from Switzerland asked where to lodge a complaint. We thought it was already known, but it turns out it’s not. We will provide information about the complaint website later,” Purbaya said.
He explained that the Satgas P2SP is designed to handle business obstacles quickly and in a coordinated manner, involving various ministries and agencies. Through this mechanism, investment issues can be resolved across sectors without being hindered by bureaucracy.
Purbaya also stressed that involved government agencies will be encouraged to work more responsively. Even the central government has sanction instruments in the form of budget cuts for ministries/agencies that do not work efficiently in supporting the resolution of business obstacles. The same applies to regional governments.
According to him, the effectiveness of the task force will be a key factor in increasing global investors’ confidence in Indonesia’s investment climate. “If they experience the benefits, they will promote themselves that investing in Indonesia is becoming easier,” he said.
To expand the reach of information to international investors, the Ministry of Finance is collaborating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Through the network of embassies in various countries, the government will socialise the debottlenecking channel so that investors know the complaint route when facing business challenges.
In addition to introducing the task force, Purbaya revealed that the debottlenecking channel has the potential to accelerate investment realisation by more than $30 billion. This value comes from several projects that were previously stalled due to permitting and administrative issues.
He also highlighted a major project in the Sumatra region worth around $40 billion that has been delayed for a long time. The government is committed to accelerating the realisation of that project after it enters the task force’s handling.
The Satgas P2SP is known to hold sessions periodically to discuss business obstacle reports. Each week, the task force handles one to four cases, with an approach that prioritises efficiency and transparency.
Purbaya added that most sessions are conducted openly to ensure accountability and build public trust. However, in certain cases, the mechanism can be adjusted to the needs of businesses.
“Transparency is important so that society and the business world can see that the government is serious about resolving investment issues,” he said.
Looking ahead, the government hopes that the presence of the Satgas debottlenecking can change global investors’ perceptions while accelerating the inflow of investments into Indonesia.
