Newly Regulated for Integration to Government Regulation Central Statistics Bureau of Indonesia has released the
REGULATION OF THE STATISTICS INDONESIA NUMBER 7 OF 2025 CONCERNING THE STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS FIELDS IN INDONESIA on December 17, 2025.
Though it is not yet integrated with the OSS system, the Investment Activities in the country will be affected pursuant to this newly regulated KBLI classification Code, its direction and potential impact are already clear and relevant for business planning.
This regulation in regards to KBLI 2025 includes harmonization across ministries/agencies, public consultations, and strengthening the substance of business classification.
This revision is intended to align Indonesia’s business classification system with evolving economic activities, digital business models, and international standards (ISIC Revision 5).
Why KBLI 2025 Matters
KBLI is the foundation for:
- Business licensing through OSS Risk-Based Approach (OSS RBA)
- Determination of risk levels and licensing requirements
- Investment reporting (LKPM)
- Statistical and regulatory oversight
KBLI 2025 aims to address gaps in KBLI 2020, particularly for new and fast-growing sectors such as digital services, technology, and sustainability-related businesses.
The Changes
1. Structure Remains, Content Changes
The 5-digit KBLI structure remains unchanged, but many business codes will be:
- merged,
- split,
- renamed, or
- reassigned to different sectors.
These changes may affect how business activities are classified in OSS.
2. New Business Categories
KBLI 2025 introduces clearer classifications for emerging activities, including:
- digital platforms and intermediaries
- artificial intelligence (AI) services
- content creators and digital media activities
- crypto and digital asset-related services
- carbon capture and environmental services
- factoryless goods producers (FGP)
This provides greater legal clarity for businesses that previously relied on broad or less accurate KBLI codes.
3. Refinement of Existing KBLIs
Many existing codes will be improved through:
- clearer activity descriptions
- reduced overlap between sectors
- updated examples reflecting current business practices
This helps regulators assign more accurate risk levels and compliance standards.
Two Main Patterns of Change
Many-to-One
Several detailed KBLIs are combined into a single code.
Impact: simpler licensing, fewer LKPM entries, more efficient administration.
One-to-Many
A single broad KBLI is divided into multiple more specific codes.
Impact: possible need for additional licenses, more detailed LKPM reporting, and adjusted compliance requirements.
Impact on Businesses
Once KBLI 2025 is implemented and integrated into OSS:
- some businesses may need to adjust their KBLI selection,
- licensing requirements may change due to revised risk levels, and
- LKPM reporting obligations may increase or decrease depending on the new classification.
No immediate action is required at this stage. Businesses are not required to amend their NIB, licenses, or LKPM until KBLI 2025 is officially enacted and applied in OSS.
Recommended Preparatory Steps
As a corporate service provider, we recommend businesses:
- reviewing current KBLI codes used in their NIB and licenses,
- identifying activities that may be affected by mergers or splits,
- assessing licenses linked to risk-based requirements, and
- preparing internal documentation for a smooth transition.
Early preparation will minimize disruption once KBLI 2025 takes effect.
