Global Acknowledgment: OECD Praises Indonesian SOE Reforms Under Erick Thohir

The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of SOEs, remains committed to adopting best practices recommended by the OECD. These steps are designed to ensure fair competition between SOEs and private companies. In government procurement, SOEs no longer receive preferential treatment, ensuring a level playing field for all companies.

Furthermore, the government’s involvement in the commercial operations of SOEs has significantly decreased, granting them more freedom and flexibility in managing their operations.

Currently, Indonesia is in the process of becoming a full member of the OECD, a move aimed at strengthening global competitiveness, including that of SOEs. This achievement marks significant progress towards Indonesia’s goal of full OECD membership. (Uki Ruknuddin)
