I would like to emphasize that the risk-based OSS system will not dampen the regional authorities.
Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has emphasized that the risk-based online single submission (OSS) system, an online service for issuing business licenses, would not dilute the powers of regional authorities.

“I would like to emphasize that the risk-based OSS system will not dampen the regional authorities,” the President said at the launch of the risk-based OSS system, streamed on the Presidential Secretariat’s Youtube channel here on Monday.

The OSS system lays down a service standard for all government levels, either central or regional, in issuing licenses so that their responsibilities can be clearer and their services can be more synergistic, Widodo explained.

“I have already listened to small and micro, and even big entrepreneurs who have the same aspirations. They need quick, easy, and simple services,” he added.

The President urged ministers, institution heads, governors, district heads, and mayors to remain disciplined in following the OSS processes, which are aimed at making licensing easier.

Widodo said that he will directly monitor the implementation of OSS in the field, adding that risk-based business licensing through the OSS system is being implemented under Law No.11 of 2020 on Job Creation.

The risk-based OSS must be utilized by business players, ministries, institutions, regional administrations, administrators of Special Economic Zones (KEK), and free trade and port area concession agency (KPBPB), he said.

According to the government’s regulation No.5 of 2021, as many as 1,702 businesses, of which 1,349 are Indonesian Standard Industrial Classifications (KBLI), have been included in the risk-based OSS system.

Meanwhile, as many as 353 KBLIs that have not been covered by regulation No.5 of 2021 will be registered in the system by the end of August this year.
