Bali Investment Policy Outlook 2025

 

From Regulation to Readiness – A Public Forum on Bali’s Investment Future

Indonesia’s investment landscape is entering a defining phase — one built on readiness, transparency, and coordination.

After years of fragmented rules and shifting interpretations, the government is now opening the dialogue to the public — investors, professionals, and community stakeholders — to move from regulation to real readiness.

➡️ Thursday, 13 November 2025

➡️ The Trans Resort Bali at 14.00 (doors open at 13.00)

Arranged by the Bali Tourism & Investment Chamber (BTIC) in cooperation with the Central Government and the Provincial Government of Bali.

This important public forum brings together the key institutions shaping Indonesia’s investment future:

  • Ir. Rizki Handayani Mustafa, Deputy for Industry and Investment, Ministry of Tourism & Creative Economy
  • Bagus Hariadi, Senior Investment Management Specialist for the Ministry of Investment/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM)
  • I Ketut Sukra Negara, Head of Bali’s One-Stop Investment Service (DPMPTSP)

They will unpack the implications of Government Regulation No. 28/2025 and Ministerial Regulation No. 6/2025 — the twin foundations of Indonesia’s new risk-based licensing and supervision system.

This is not just another policy talk — it’s a milestone for Bali.

After a focused coordination session last week among government officials, this public forum marks a broader opening — a collaboration between policymakers, investors, and the private sector, made possible through BTIC’s initiative to create transparent bridges between local and national governance.

The conversation is shifting from regulation to readiness and implementation, emphasizing measurable standards, ESG alignment, and data-driven decision-making. For Bali, this means more clarity, stronger compliance, and a healthier balance between investment growth and sustainability.

As someone who has witnessed Bali’s investment evolution for decades, this new tone feels different — constructive, inclusive, and forward-looking. The dialogue is no longer about control but about coordination; not about bureaucracy but about building trust.

So on November 13th, we invite investors, business leaders, consultants, and community representatives to join this dialogue — and to be part of shaping a new era of responsible, transparent investment for Bali and beyond.

🌐 Join the conversation at The Trans Resort Bali.
