Indonesia understands that tax breaks alone aren\u2019t enough to sustain investor interest. That\u2019s why it has introduced key non-fiscal incentives aimed at lowering operational barriers and reducing business risk.<\/p>\n

Foreign investors now benefit from 100% ownership rights<\/a> in most sectors, thanks to Presidential Regulation No. 49\/2021. This significantly simplifies operations and supports long-term strategic planning. The Job Creation Law (Omnibus Law)<\/a> consolidates over 70 previous regulations, offering a cleaner and more predictable legal landscape.<\/p>\n

Streamlined licensing via the Online Single Submission (OSS) system<\/a> categorizes businesses by risk and tailors procedures accordingly. This approach reduces processing time and ensures that small and large enterprises receive services suited to their needs.<\/p>\n

Government-Backed Infrastructure and Sector Support<\/h2>\n

Indonesia\u2019s infrastructure agenda directly supports investor operations. New industrial parks like Batang Industrial Estate provide ready-to-use facilities, access to utilities, and logistics integration. Businesses can lease land at favorable rates or even qualify for free land use in strategic sectors.<\/p>\n

In the ambitious Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project, investors gain access to custom facilities, land preparation services, and public-private partnership (PPP) opportunities. This massive initiative is engineered to global standards, with ample opportunities for foreign firms to contribute and profit.<\/p>\n

Additionally, sector-specific support targets 246 prioritized industries including digital technology, renewable energy, and pharmaceuticals. These sectors receive fast-tracked environmental permits, technical assistance, and coordination with research bodies.<\/p>\n

BKPM\u2019s aftercare services ensure continued support after setup, providing a crucial safety net for foreign enterprises. Customized assistance is available depending on business size, industry, and geographic location.<\/p>\n

Investor immigration is also being optimized. Indonesia offers simplified visa and KITAS processes for foreign executives and technical staff. This accelerates operational readiness, especially in sectors reliant on specialist personnel.<\/p>\n
