The latest study on Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) issued by the World Bank Group shows Indonesia’s ranking declining from 72 to 73 last year. This situation requires special attention for improvement in the future in order to achieve the targeted ranking of 40 announced by President Joko Widodo. In order to achieve the target, the Government needs strategical thinking to identify the exact problem, what factors need to be considered, as well as factual solutions.

Providing insights on the issue, Dentons HPRP held a limited media discussion on the Investment and Business Climate from the Legal Perspective with journalists from leading national publications.  Speaking on behalf of Dentons HPRP at the discussion were Managing Partner, Constant M. Ponggawa, and Partners Andre Rahadian, Sartono, and Maurice Situmorang. 

Speakers presented how Dentons HPRP’s global network attracts investment and receives comments from investors. Further, the discussion continued on national issues on investment, among others from the fintech, mining, aviation sectors, as well as issues on labor employment.  Those topics led the attendees to get actively involved in the discussion.

The discussion was covered in 11 news media: Bisnis Indonesia (July 25th, 2019), Investor Daily (July 25th, 2019), Kompas.com (July 24th, 2019), Detik Finance (July 24th, 2019), Berita Satu (July 24th, 2019), Jakarta Globe (July 24th, 2019), Media Indonesia (July 24th, 2019), Kontan.co.id (July 26th, 2019), Republika.co.id (July 25th, 2019), Bisnis.com (July 28th, 2019), Hukumonline.com(July 26th, 2019).
