The Ministry of Finance has issued new Regulation No. 152/PMK 010/2012 on Good Corporate Governance dated 3 October 2012 (“Regulation No. 152”) as an implementation of Government Regulation No. 7 of 1992 on Insurance Business

On 30 September 2011, Bank Indonesia promulgated new Bank Indonesia regulations1 requiring export and offshore loan proceeds to be received and drawn down (as applicable) through foreign exchange banks in Indonesia (including branches of foreign banks in Indonesia) (“FX Banks”) which willcome into effect as of 2 January 2012 (“Bank Indonesia Regulations”).

On 28 June 2011, the Indonesian Government enacted Law No 7 of 2011 regarding Currency which came into force on the date of its enactment.

On 29 December 2010 Bank Indonesia issued a new regulation related to Offshore Loan Reporting to Bank Indonesia. This was followed by the issuance of its implementing regulation on 20 January 2011.

Law No. 24/2009 is having an unsettling effect on business in Indonesia. Despite the fact that no implementing regulations have been issued and there is a general consensus the failure to conclude an Indonesian version of an agreement should not invalidate it, risk averse parties and parties who in a position to push translation costs onto a counter-party are requiring the production of Indonesian translations of a wide range of legal documents.
