New Merger Control Rules Which Will Apply in Indonesia

The Indonesian Business Competition Supervisory Board (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha/”KPPU”) has been pushing for the proposed changes to the Competition Law, including among others, those regarding merger control, to be issued as soon as possible. In theory, the new merger control provisions should come into force upon the issuance of the relevant implementing regulation.
