When silence speaks: Indonesia and the future of the e-commerce moratorium

, ,
Ultimately, the issue is not simply whether Indonesia supports or opposes the proposed e-commerce tariffs moratorium. It is also about how Indonesia navigates a changing global trade landscape where rules are now increasingly shaped outside traditional multilateral forums.

Indonesian consumers are paying the price of the government’s market distortions. It needs to stop.

The government’s quick fix was to suggest that private retailers buy their fuel supplies from Pertamina, the state-owned fuel giant. On the surface, this looked like a reasonable rescue measure. But, in reality, it suggests a more sinister agenda:  bolstering the government’s monopoly over fuel.
