KBLI 2025

In December 2025, the Central Bureau of Statistics (Badan Pusat Statistik – “BPS”) issued BPS Regulation No. 7 of 2025 regarding Indonesian Standard Business Field Classification (Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia – “KBLI”) (hereinafter referred to as “KBLI 2025”), which came into effect on 18 December 2025. By the enactment of KBLI 2025, the previous regulation, i.e., BPS Regulation No. 2 of 2020 regarding KBLI 2020 (hereinafter referred to as “KBLI 2020”), has been revoked and is no longer valid.

KBLI 2025 was issued to update Indonesia’s business activity classification framework through the adoption of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Revision 5, and to align such framework with prevailing economic developments in Indonesia. The following are several key provisions of KBLI 2025:

1.      Forms of Changes under KBLI 2025

a.  Update of KBLI Categories, among others, previously under KBLI 2020, KBLI category G covered wholesale and retail trade activities, including the repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and motorcycles. Under KBLI 2025, category G now only covers wholesale and retail trade activities, while repair and maintenance activities have been reclassified under category T (other service activities).

 b.  Subdivision of KBLI Codes, among others, previously under KBLI 2020, carbon capture and storage activities were included under KBLI No. 39000, which relates to remediation activities and other waste and refuse management. Under KBLI 2025, such KBLI code has been split into 3 (three) new separate KBLI codes, i.e., KBLI No. 39001 for carbon capture activities, KBLI No. 39002 for carbon storage activities, and KBLI No. 39009 for remediation activities and other waste or refuse management.

c. Introduction of New KBLI Codes, among others, previously under KBLI 2020, certain financial service activities, such as crypto assets and carbon units, were not specifically accommodated. Under KBLI 2025, new classifications have been introduced to accommodate such activities, i.e., KBLI No. 64994 for proprietary trading of crypto assets, KBLI No. 64995 for trading of carbon units, and KBLI No. 64999 for issuance of crypto assets with liabilities.

2.       Obligation to Adjust to KBLI 2025 

KBLI serves as the classification system for economic activities in Indonesia that generate products or outputs, whether in the form of goods or services. In practice, KBLI is used for various purposes, including company registration and amendments to corporate data, the processing of business licenses (e.g., risk-based business licensing such as the Business Identification Number – (Nomor Induk Berusaha – “NIB”)), and the

fulfilment of reporting obligations by business actors, including the Investment Activity Report.

KBLI 2025 requires that all KBLI codes that have been previously applied be adjusted to comply with the provisions of KBLI 2025 within a period of 6 (six) months as of 18 December 2025.

Going Forward

We still need to see further measures taken by the relevant government authorities, including the Ministry of Law of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board, in relation to the implementation of KBLI 2025.

Nonetheless, in light of the changes in business classifications under KBLI 2025 and the adjustment deadline as mentioned above, companies are advised to identify the alignment between their current business activities (as stated in their articles of association and NIB) and the relevant KBLI classifications under KBLI 2025. Such identification is required to determine whether any amendments to the company’s corporate documents are necessary for compliance purposes and to ensure a smooth process in obtaining the permits and/or licenses (if relevant).
