Abdurrahman said the rules will be included in a ministerial regulation on MSME protection and competitiveness, which has completed the legal harmonization process.
“We are now waiting for promulgation at the State Secretariat Ministry,” he told reporters after a parliamentary meeting in Jakarta.
He said the regulation aims to simplify marketplace fee structures, which many MSME operators currently view as inconsistent and confusing across digital platforms.
The government plans to standardize charges into three categories: registration fees, service fees, and promotional fees.
“Marketplace A uses different terms from marketplace B. People think there are many charges, even though there are only three main components,” Abdurrahman said.
The government is also encouraging service-fee discounts of up to 50 percent for micro and small businesses, particularly those selling domestic products.
Abdurrahman said the policy is intended to protect smaller businesses from unequal competition with medium and large enterprises on digital platforms.
“The government cannot allow micro and small enterprises to compete freely without policies that support them,” he said.
The regulation will also govern contractual relations between marketplaces and sellers, including a minimum one-year contract period to provide business certainty.
E-commerce platforms will also be required to notify sellers at least three months before implementing any service-fee changes.
