TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (Hipmi) of Yogyakarta supports the governments plan to formulate an e-commerce roadmap by early 2017.
"The e-commerce roadmap to be launched by the government is a step in the right direction as it will encourage Indonesian young entrepreneurs and help them in expanding their business," a Yogyakarta Hipmi member, Gunarta Adibrata, said on Wednesday.
Also, such a roadmap will help those starting their businesses in accessing the e-commerce system.
"Young entrepreneurs will find the e-commerce business roadmap very beneficial," Gunarta noted.
According to him, young entrepreneurs need such assistance in order to grow their businesses.
In addition, the governments timely interventions and support will increase the markets confidence in the ability of the young entrepreneurs.
"Such an e-commerce roadmap must have clarity about taxation and consumer protection. These two things will add a positive value and enhance business certainty for those using the e-commerce system," Gunarta noted.
Earlier, the government had stated that the e-commerce roadmap, aimed at regulating and stimulating e-commerce transactions in Indonesia, will be released in early 2017.
