Indonesia Accelerates Revision of E-commerce Regulations to Promote Platform Fee Transparency and Support Local SMEs

On May 27, it was reported that Indonesian Trade Minister Budi Santoso stated that inter-departmental coordination work on Indonesia's e-commerce regulations is expected to be completed this week, with the government accelerating the revision of Trade Regulation No. 31 of 2023. Subsequently, relevant departments also plan to convene consultations with e-commerce platforms and seller representatives to further refine industry governance rules. Key focuses of this revision include mandating that e-commerce platforms publicly disclose and be transparent about various fee structures, while also encouraging platforms to increase support for local small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, the government plans to establish a complaint service system with clear standards and efficient responses. The Indonesian government hopes that through these measures, it can systematically balance the rights and interests of platforms, sellers, and consumers, promote the formation of a fairer and healthier e-commerce ecosystem, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all parties.
