General Overview

On 2 November 2020, the Indonesian Government had officially enacted Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (the “Omnibus Law”), the first Indonesian law drawn up with an omnibus concept.

Omnibus laws are drafted to cover multiple matters combined into one. In this case, several existing laws have been simultaneously revised/amended/revoked in the one legislative instrument.

The main objectives of the Omnibus Law are to carry out structural reform, accelerate economic transformation and reform the Indonesian workforce in order to meet the challenges of increasing competition, the demands of economic globalization and the need to create investment friendly commercial conditions.

The Omnibus Law targets 11 (eleven) reform “clusters”. These are simplification of licensing, investment requirements, manpower, land procurement, ease of doing business, research and innovation support, government administration, imposition of sanctions, ease, empowerment and protection of micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), governments’ investments and projects, and economic zones.

To understand the general regulatory framework of the Omnibus Law and which regulations are revised/amended/revoked, please see below for a table of the contents, list of laws amended and revoked and a more in-depth summary of the law’s framework. We apologize in advance for the length. It would be an understatement to say that the Omnibus Law was merely ambitious in scope – there is barely a sector of the Indonesian economy that it does not touch. It is not possible here to go into close detail about the significant new regulations/amendments, however, we will discuss these further in the future articles.
