Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa Resolves 45 Investment Barriers Through Debottlenecking
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa reported the success of the debottlenecking channel in resolving 45 investment barriers in Indonesia as of Tuesday (12/5/2026). This achievement was conveyed to global investors and foreign ambassadors at the International Seminar on Debottlenecking Channel held at the Ministry of Finance office in Jakarta.
According to Suara, this debottlenecking channel forms part of the Task Force for Accelerating Government Programmes to Support Economic Growth Enhancement (Satgas P3-MPPE). The task force was officially established by the government in December 2025 to improve the national business climate.
Ministry data indicates that a total of 142 complaints were received through the channel by mid-May 2026. Of these, 83 complaints have been processed through an open hearing mechanism by the task force team.
“With this, I assure that there is an effective and efficient mechanism to facilitate investor concerns regarding permits and the smooth process of their investment and business operations in Indonesia,” stated Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, the Finance Minister.
The government views private sector involvement as crucial, as it contributes up to 90% to the economy. This step to improve the investment climate is taken to pursue an economic growth target of 8% by 2029.
“So, we, the Indonesian government, understand that we need to increase private sector engagement in our economy. Therefore, having a better business climate, credible investment policies, a strong legal framework, and consistent law enforcement are key to enhancing private sector involvement in our economy,” explained Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, the Finance Minister.
In its operations, the debottlenecking channel holds review hearings regularly every week. This process is based on reports submitted by entrepreneurs facing obstacles in running their businesses.
“We will ensure that we remove those barriers as soon as possible, perhaps in one or a few processes, but we will certainly eliminate them,” concluded Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, the Finance Minister.
