On 27 September 2012 the Regulatory Reform Review of Indonesia and the 2012 OECD Economic Survey of Indonesia were formally launched in Jakarta by Angel Gurria the Secretary-General of the OECD. In addition the Government of Indonesia and the OECD signed a framework agreement for future cooperation.

The event was jointly organised by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development (OECD). It included a presentation of the main recommendations of the Regulatory Reform Review of Indonesia 2012 concerning:

1. Creating a more effective and co-ordinated whole-of-government approach to regulatory policy,
2. Improving mechanisms for assessing the impact of regulation and,
3. Creating a more uniform approach to support public consultation and tranparency in regulatory decision making.

The event follows from the participation of Indonesian agencies in the peer discussions in Paris and involved the participation of officials from a number of agencies within the Government of Indonesia discussing strategies for implementing the findings of the OECD report.

Achieving successful regulatory reform now constitutes one of the most critical issues facing the Indonesian government and it will become more so in the context of the recently adopted Economic Master Plan (MP3EI) which aims to foster economic development along six economic corridors. High quality regulation is needed to support the achievement of the government’s economic, social and environmental goals. To assure better quality regulation, the country needs to adopt a ”whole-of-government” approach to regulatory reform, to assess the impact of new regulatory proposals and existing regulations, and to implement the principles of transparency and public consultation in regulatory decision making.
