The Government of Indonesia has issued Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 on the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing (“GR 28/2025”), which replaces Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021 (“GR 5/2021”). This new regulation underscores the government’s continued commitment to promoting ease of doing business while strengthening legal certainty for business actors. Through enhancements to the Online Single Submission – Risk-Based Approach (“OSS-RBA”) system, GR 28/2025 clarifies risk classifications, strictly limits licensing authority in line with the regulatory framework, and improves service integration and supervision mechanisms.
This regulation, which came into effect on 5 June 2025 with a transition period until 5 October 2025, is expected to provide a more streamlined, transparent, and predictable licensing process, ultimately contributing to a more competitive investment climate in Indonesia.
