JAKARTA - Google Indonesia responded to the YouTube platform which is known to spread its wings by expanding into the e-commerce business in Indonesia.
However, it turns out that the plan is still at the assessment stage.
Google Indonesia Managing Director Randy Jusuf said that until now there is no YouTube plan to penetrate the e-commerce business, even though the e-commerce function on YouTube is already available in various countries.
"For now, YouTube has no plans to add shopping features. From the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) side, because of this (rules), right, it's only the end of October," Randy told reporters at the Google Indonesia Office, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 7.
Randy said that his party is still analyzing the Regulation of the Minister of Trade (Permendag) Number 31 of 2023 concerning Business Licensing, Advertising, Guidance, and Supervision of Business Actors in Trade Through Electronic Systems.
"So, it's quite new, to be honest, we are still analyzing the details as to what. Currently, we are still in the phase of analyzing it," he said.
Even so, Google Indonesia does not deny that the YouTube commerce feature already exists in various parts of the world.
"Globally it is available, but in the future there are still no more plans because the regulations are still being analyzed. The important thing is that the shopping feature is all kinds of things, right. So, for now there are still no plans to add certain features from shopping," he added.
