he Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, on Wednesday (4/12) stated that the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) policy has received much criticism from groups of countries that see Indonesia as a market. However, the TKDN policy is an effort to develop industries that are still underdeveloped in Indonesia. The minister added, this policy also protects the investors, who invest capital in Indonesia. He said that as long as investors meet all TKDN requirements, they will benefit from that policy. Separately, Deputy Minister of Industry Faisol Reza said that the government decides to review the long-standing regulations on TKDN and his ministry will soon issue new policies related to TKDN. According to him, the reassessment of this policy aims to strengthen the domestic industry, and the plan to revise the TKDN regulation is a follow-up on the ban on the sale of Apple's iPhone 16 in Indonesia. Several suggestions have been submitted to the Ministry of Industry to enhance the requirements for using local components from within the country.Source: https://en.tempo.co/read/1948967/minister-of-industry-says-domestic-component-policy-criticized-by-various-countries (ICE GIACARTA)
