On Thursday, 21 February 2019, EuroCham invited Mr. Ignatius Andy from Ignatius Andy Law Offices to present and share latest “Development of Competition Law in Indonesia”. The parliament is currently drafting a new Anti-Monopoly Law that would introduce some new changes in the stipulations. As this topic is relevant for all businesses, awareness about the upcoming main changes are important. The key changes add more authorities to the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) that can be applied to business who violates stipulations in the draft law.
