Abstract

Local content requirement is one of the policy measures used by many countries around the globe, including Indonesia, to protect and support their strategic sectors. This paper assesses Indonesia’s local content regulations in the energy, telecommunication devices, pharmaceutical, and modern retail sectors that are deemed problematic by certain Word Trade Organization (WTO) Members in light of Indonesia’s obligations under the multilateral trade rules.
