This could effectively cut off foreign investment for anything to do with direct sales to consumers. Cutting off foreign investment to current and future online retail companies in Indonesia will have massive repercussions with regards to the development of the industry, as Indonesia does not have a history of great technology companies producing investors who are willing to fund the next generation of technology entrepreneurs.<p><code><br/></code></p> </span>[/peekaboo_content]</td>

This was already so for offline retail (except in the case of large stores), but until now the online industry was excused from this regulation. The Grandfathering principle means that the rule shouldn’t apply to foreign investors and companies who already have done investments in Indonesia. However, within 2 years the foreign invested Indonesian company has to be 100% locally owned. A possible solution is to let a locally owned PT handle all the B2C transactions, and have a foreign company own all the assets including domain name, infrastructure, warehouses, website etc and basically wholesale to the PT who’s only role is to execute transactions with consumers.<p><code><br/></code></p> </span>[/peekaboo_content]</td>
