New Rules Requiring Foreign Direct Investment Companies to Have at least IDR 10 Billion in Issued and Paid-up Capital

On April 1, 2021, the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal / “BKPM”) issued Regulation No. 4 of 2021 on Guidelines and Procedures for Risk-Based Licensing and Investment Facilities (“BKPM Regulation No. 4”).

BKPM Regulation No.4 requires a foreign direct investment company (an Indonesian company owns by foreign party), to have at least IDR 10 billion (approximately JPY 76,694,910) in issued and paid-up capital, unless otherwise stated in other specific regulations. This is higher from the previous requirement, IDR 2.5 billion (approximately JPY 19,173,727). BKPM Regulation No.4 will be effective on June 2, 2021.  

Will give you further updates once it becomes clearer whether this requirement applies to existing PMAs and if certain specific exemptions apply.
