Launched in 2011, the Indonesia-OECD Corporate Governance Policy Dialogue supports policy makers by assessing key market practices and policy trends that may be detrimental to sound corporate governance. It also supports implementation by offering recommendations and policy options based on a comparative analysis. Furthermore, the programme facilitates closer engagement in the regular work of the OECD Corporate Governance Committee and continued involvement in the Asian Roundtable on Corporate Governance. The Financial Services Authority of Indonesia, the stock exchange and other relevant non-governmental organisations are partners to this dialogue.

Disclosure of Beneficial Ownership and Control

The first phase of the Policy Dialogue concentrated on enhancing disclosure of beneficial ownership and control as part of overall efforts to improve corporate governance standards and practices in Indonesia. It facilitated a comparative analysis of how disclosure of beneficial ownership is handled by other jurisdictions; highlighted the costs, benefits and practicality of various approaches in the Indonesian context; suggested options to better identify ultimate beneficial ownership to enhance the securities regulator’s capacity to monitor related party transactions.

Board nomination and election

Indonesia is one of 4 jurisdictions who participated in an in-depth peer review published in November 2012 on Board Member Nomination and Election. The chapter on Indonesia describes the ownership structure of listed companies and then considers the board nomination and election processes, including disclosure practices and obligations.

Building on this peer review, the future work of the Policy Dialogue will focus on this issue.

OECD-Asian Corporate Governance Roundtable

Indonesia has participated in the OECD-Asian Corporate Governance Roundtable since 2004 and hosted the Roundtable's 2011 annual meeting.
