Recent data highlights growth in specific Indonesian economic sectors. As of July 2026, the number of cryptocurrency investors in the country reached 22.93 million, according to the Financial Services Authority (OJK). In response to this trend, educational initiatives such as the “How Gen-Z Can Stay Financially Wise” program were launched to promote digital financial literacy and risk management among students.

Separately, the creative economy sector has expanded to include 27.4 million workers, with 63 percent of the workforce being under the age of 40. Minister of Creative Economy Teuku Riefky Harsya noted that the workforce is primarily composed of women and younger generations. While activity is concentrated on Java, the government is working to expand local institutional support to emerging hubs in rural areas.

To support this sector, the Ministry of Creative Economy is expanding the application of zero-rupiah registration fees for copyright services. This policy, proposed by the Ministry of Law and approved in principle by the Ministry of Finance, aims to assist creators in protecting works such as fine arts, books, photography, films, and computer programs without the previous 200,000 rupiah fee per application. Minister Harsya stated this move is vital for strengthening the national creative economy ecosystem by providing broader access to creators with limited financial resources.

Furthering these efforts, the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) is advancing discussions on a new Copyright Bill initiated by the House of Representatives (DPR RI). Director General Hermansyah Siregar stated that regulatory updates are essential to ensure protection remains relevant amidst rapid technological advancements. Focus Group Discussions are being used to refine the bill, addressing challenges in governance and the protection of journalistic works to strengthen both the moral and economic rights of creators.
