JAKARTA, KOMPAS -- A House Plenary Session on Monday (5/10/2020), at the legislative complex, approved the job creation bill to be passed into law. The session, which also saw the closing of the first 2019-2020 sitting period, was held sooner than earlier planned on 8 October 2020, considering the increasingly massive threat of Covid-19.

Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) deputy chairperson Shinta Widjaja Kamdani welcomed the passing of the bill. The job creation bill is expected to improve the economy and investment through the creation and expansion of employment opportunities.
