Indonesia PFII law enacted, launch preparations continue

Entities: Mohamad Hekal · Josua Pardede · Bank Permata · DPR RI · Pusat Finansial Internasional Indonesia (PFII)

Overview

Indonesia’s parliament passed the International Financial Center Indonesia (PFII) law on 21 July 2026, meeting the three‑month deadline set by the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Act. The 73‑article act defines the centre’s purpose, governance, tax incentives, a dedicated arbitration institute, and a financial‑stability committee aligned with FATF standards.

The government is evaluating Jakarta and Bali as possible sites, with a transitional operation likely to start in Jakarta for two to three years before a permanent location is chosen. PFII chief executive Rosan Roeslani said the centre could become operational within the next two to three years, expecting family‑office participation from China and Hong Kong.

Vice‑chair of DPR Commission XI, Mohamad Hekal, highlighted that global geopolitical tensions are creating a window for Indonesia to capture capital flows from family‑wealth assets seeking new domiciles. The PFII will feature a competitive legal framework, dedicated dispute‑resolution mechanisms, ad‑hoc commercial judges, English‑language contracts, and strict AML/CFT compliance. Bank Permata’s chief economist Josua Pardede noted the hub could deepen the domestic financial market and provide long‑term financing for national development.

Officials stress the need for competitive fiscal incentives, robust regulatory oversight, and coordination with the Financial Action Task Force to attract investors while preserving fiscal balance.
