Implementing robust anti-corruption compliance programs has become a critical priority for foreign investors operating in Indonesia as both local enforcement and extraterritorial application of international anti-corruption laws intensify.
The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has significantly expanded its investigation capacity and corporate enforcement actions, while multinational companies face increased scrutiny under home country legislation including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act.
Leading organizations are implementing comprehensive compliance frameworks including risk-based due diligence procedures, detailed financial controls, regular training programs, and protected whistleblower mechanisms.
“Effective compliance programs must be genuinely embedded in organizational culture rather than existing as standalone policies,” emphasizes Rahmat Sulistyo, Compliance Advisory Director at ProSpace Indonesia. “Companies that take this integrated approach find compliance becomes a competitive advantage rather than a cost center.”
ProSpace Indonesia provides specialized compliance program development services, including risk assessments, policy design, and implementation support.

Indonesia’s Manufacturing Acceleration Program (MAP) is substantially reducing the complexity and timeline for establishing production facilities across the archipelago. The initiative, launched in March 2025, introduces a centralized approval process for manufacturing investments exceeding $10 million.
Under the new framework, investors work with a dedicated case officer who coordinates approvals across all relevant ministries and regional governments. Early participants report permitting timelines reduced from 18 months to as little as 90 days for compliant applications.
The program targets priority manufacturing sectors including electronics, automotive components, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials with enhanced incentives for facilities incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies and export-oriented production.
“This represents a fundamental shift in Indonesia’s industrial development approach,” notes Hendra Wijaya, Manufacturing Sector Specialist at ProSpace Indonesia. “Rather than navigating multiple bureaucracies, investors now have a clear, predictable pathway to facility establishment.”
ProSpace Indonesia offers comprehensive support services for manufacturing investors, including site selection, permit applications, and incentive package optimization.

Indonesia’s renewable energy sector is experiencing unprecedented growth as the government intensifies efforts to reach its 23% clean energy target by 2030. Investment in solar, geothermal, hydro, and biomass projects reached a record $4.8 billion in Q1 2025, signaling strong market confidence in the country’s green transition.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources recently announced enhanced incentives for renewable projects, including guaranteed power purchase agreements, tax holidays of up to 15 years for qualifying developments, and simplified land acquisition procedures.
Particularly promising opportunities exist in Indonesia’s eastern regions, where abundant solar and geothermal resources coincide with growing industrial and residential demand.
