Yusril Pushes Integration of Data on 3.9 Million Firms in Indonesia
The business-entity data would be used across services, from taxes and permits to financial transaction oversight and anti-corruption efforts.
Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra urged stronger integration of the national corporate database to bolster legal certainty and public services. At the Forum Nasional Sinergi dan Penguatan Data Korporasi Terintegrasi in Jakarta on Tuesday, Yusril said the Directorate General of General Legal Administration at the Ministry of Law now manages more than 3.9 million corporate entities. He said digital registration of businesses alone is no longer enough; the government also needs accurate data on a company's legal status, its representatives, and its controllers. He said a reliable database is needed for tax administration, business licensing, procurement of goods and services, oversight of financial transactions, and anti-corruption efforts.
