Muhammad Iqbal Baiquni, Waspiah, Septhian Eka Adiyatma
This chapter examines Indonesia’s legal framework governing business competition, established following the Asian Financial Crisis by Law 5 of 1999. It analyses the three main categories of prohibitions anti-competitive agreements, anti-competitive business activities, and abuse of dominant market positions, as well as the structure and powers of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU). Baiquni and co-authors demonstrate how persistent corruption, vague legal terminology, and structural distortions continue to hamper Indonesia’s competitiveness, while recent amendments through the omnibus Job Creation Law have failed to deliver necessary reforms, including pre-merger notification requirements and strengthened institutional capacity. © 2027 selection and editorial matter, Simon Butt and Tim Lindsey.
