Streamlining Regulations

The law agenda has become critical for the government of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla. Criticism has appeared because after more than two years in power, the government is only focusing on politics and the economy.

Responding to the various criticisms, as it entered its third year in power in the last months of 2016, the government began to show interest for the legal field. President Jokowi  started by revamping regulations. For Jokowi, regulatory improvements are needed to accelerate development, especially in economics, that are frequently hindered by unharmonized, unsynchronized and overlapping regulations that foster uncertainty.
