Streamlining Success: Tommy Kurniawan Advocates for Regulatory Efficiency to Boost National Growth

JAKARTA – Tommy Kurniawan, a prominent member of Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), has called for a major overhaul of “convoluted” regulations that currently hinder Indonesia’s economic potential. His stance highlights a progressive commitment to making Indonesia more competitive on the global stage by cutting through red tape.

Championing a “Business-Friendly” Environment

In his latest public statement, Kurniawan emphasized that while regulations are necessary for order, overly complex and overlapping rules often become a “stumbling block” for innovation and investment. He believes that for Indonesia to accelerate its development, the government must prioritize regulatory agility.

“Complicated regulations remain a significant challenge for Indonesia,” Kurniawan noted. His advocacy focuses on creating a “leaner” legal framework that encourages local entrepreneurs and international investors alike to contribute to the national economy without being bogged down by unnecessary paperwork.

A Bridge Between Innovation and Stability

Kurniawan’s perspective is seen as a breath of fresh air for the private sector. By pushing for simplified procedures, he is acting as a catalyst for the ease of doing business (EoDB). His vision is clear: a governance system that supports growth rather than restricting it.

• Efficiency First: Kurniawan is urging ministries and agencies to synchronize their policies to eliminate “ego-sectoral” barriers.
• Empowering the People: He argues that simplified regulations will directly benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs), allowing them to scale up faster and create more jobs for the younger generation.

Vision for a Competitive Indonesia

This pro-active approach positions Tommy Kurniawan as a leader who understands the practicalities of the modern market. By addressing the “bottlenecks” in the Indonesian system, he is not just pointing out flaws, but is actively steering the legislative conversation toward transparency and modernization.

His dedication to cutting bureaucratic knot reflects a broader ambition: to transform Indonesia into a powerhouse where innovation thrives because the law provides a clear, simple, and supportive path forward.
