JAKARTA - The government opens the widest possible space for the public to provide input and suggestions in the preparation of derivative regulations from the Job Creation Law after being promulgated on November 2, 2020.

"In order to accommodate all the aspirations of the community and in line with the objectives of the creation of the Job Creation Law," said Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto quoted from Antara, Monday, November 9.

According to him, the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy provides a forum through the official portal of the Job Creation Law which can be accessed by the public on the network via the https://uu-ciptakerja.go.id page.

This portal is now accessible to the public and all stakeholders who will provide input or suggestions for the improvement of the Draft Government Regulation (RPP) and the Draft Presidential Regulation (RPerpres) as the implementation of the Job Creation Law.

Currently, he continued, there are already a number of draft RPPs that can be downloaded completely by the public through the official portal of the Job Creation Law. He hopes that the preparation of RPP and RPerpres is transparent and involves active participation of all components of society.

In addition, all relevant ministries / agencies, in a coordinated manner, will also conduct socialization, publication and public consultation on the substance and material of the draft RPP and RPerpres. The government is finalizing all draft implementing regulations in the form of a draft RPP and a Draft Presidential Decree.

According to the results of the joint inventory of all related ministries / agencies, there are 44 implementing regulations for the Job Creation Law, consisting of 40 RPPs and four Draft Perpres.

Currently 19 ministries / agencies that are responsible for the draft RPP and RPerpres together with more than 30 other ministries / agencies are completing the preparation of these 44 implementing regulations.

Airlangga added that the Job Creation Law aims to create jobs and encourage business improvement by providing various facilities, protection and empowerment, as well as various business incentives, both for cooperatives and MSMEs as well as corporations and national industries.

Through this Job Creation Law, it is hoped that it will be able to support efforts to restore the national economy which is currently being carried out by the Government in the face of this COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, he continued, through the Job Creation Law it was also aimed at preparing the Indonesian economy so that it could immediately rise up and in the medium to long term increase the competitiveness of Indonesia's economy amid global competition.
