Bagus Enrico & Partners is pleased to present the Thirteenth Edition of The Bagus Enrico Bulletin for October 2026, our monthly briefing on Indonesia's evolving legal and regulatory landscape.

 

This edition looks at Indonesia's draft AI regulations, which await the President's signature and would classify AI systems into low, high, and unacceptable risk tiers. We also examine OJK Regulation No. 12 of 2026, which replaces the earlier framework for asset-backed securities in the form of participation certificates (EBA-SP) and aims to deepen Indonesia's secondary housing finance market.

 

Further, we unpack Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 365.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026, which prohibits the use of affiliated mining services contractors without Ministerial approval. Finally, we review the updated government procurement rules for construction, including the higher direct procurement ceiling and the reserved packages for micro and small enterprises and cooperatives.

 

In our Legal Lens segment, we also highlight Indonesia's new import prohibition on goods produced with forced labour and the streamlined trademark registration framework.

 

Our commitment remains consistent, to translate complex legal changes into actionable guidance for business leaders and investors.
