The Indonesian government has begun laying the groundwork to regulate e-commerce activities in the country amid breakneck growth in online transactions, particularly among the country’s young and affluent middle class.
Chief economics minister Sofyan Djalil called for a series of discussions between officials from the trade, finance and communications ministries, among others, to discuss a new government regulation on electronic-based commerce a week ago, according to Rudiantara, the communications minister.
He said the various ministries had their own issues to address in terms of regulating e-commerce.
