Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government is implementing regulatory governance reform through the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) to maintain the momentum of economic growth.
This policy is part of Good Regulatory Practices (GRP) to ensure that every regulation is designed efficiently and based on evidence, according to the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs’ Expert Staff for Productivity and Economic Competitiveness Development, Evita Manthovani, at The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) Forum 2025.
“The implementation of RIA is not only a domestic agenda but also has strong international relevance. In Indonesia’s accession process toward OECD membership, the application of GRP, including RIA, serves as one of the indicators of our readiness to align with countries that have the best governance standards,” she said in a statement here on Thursday.
According to her, the implementation of RIA not only strengthens national policy but also paves the way for Indonesia’s integration into a more transparent and competitive global economic order.
The RIA Forum 2025 is a collaboration between the Indonesian Government and the UK Government, as part of an ongoing partnership to support the strengthening of policy analysis capacity and the implementation of GRP in Indonesia.
The forum serves as a platform to deepen understanding of the concept and implementation of RIA, particularly in defining the thresholds that determine the extent to which a policy is considered to have a significant impact on the economy.
The forum also serves as a momentum to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and the UK in expanding evidence-based policymaking practices and exchanging experiences in implementing GRP.
This collaboration is expected to enhance the institutional capacity of the government in evaluating policy impacts and promote the creation of a more transparent, participatory, and accountable regulatory process.
