The Government would soon
issue a Perpres as amendment to Presidential Regulation No. 71 year 2012 as
complementary instrument to Law No 2/2012 on land procurement for
infrastructure building.

Bambang Silsto expected that with the issuance of the Perpres all hindrances to
business activities due to land clearing problem could be overcome.
Beside land procurement, KADIN also touched on some
regulations to be issued by the Government, such as taxation. According to
Suryo, communication with the President Jokowi could correct misperceptions
among businesspeople. “Very frequently there was misunderstanding and the
Government was regarded as not supportive, such as tax policy. President Jokowi
had explained, now there will be no more misperception,” Suryo said.
In that same opportunity Vice chairman
of KADIN Indonesia, James Riady stated that the Government had high optimism
for economic growth. Therefore, amidst global uncertainty, Indonesia was
optimistic to step up growth target from 5.02% to 5.8%. “It underscore that
investment climate in Indonesia is good,” James said. (SS)
