Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has called on the ministers, heads of agencies, and officials of echelon I to simplify the regulations to bring about swift improvements in the governments performance.

"The regulations and permissions are just conditions, and therefore, they must be simplified," President Jokowi remarked while issuing directives to the ministers, heads of agencies, and echelon-I officials at the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing office here on Tuesday.

Besides this, Jokowi has also urged to simplify the already existing regulations, which cannot be removed.

He remarked that the Trading Business License (SIUP) and Company Registration (TDP) can be incorporated to simplify the process as the two licenses exist in the law.

The head of state has also called on the state officials to not add new regulations and to avoid signing regulations that can hinder development.(*)
