Foreign investment rules

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.

Status · Open with carve-outs

Open to foreign investment, with carve-outs

KBLI 43902 is open as a class — a 100% foreign-owned PT PMA can be incorporated under this code — but Pres.

The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.
