Minister Yasonna on Job Creation Perppu: Govt Can't Satisfy All Parties

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly said public criticism against the government regulation in lieu of law or Perppu on job creation was normal. He asserted that a policy cannot fulfill 100 percent of people's aspirations.

However, he claimed the government exercised efforts to listen to the people right after the Constitutional Court declared the Job Creation Law unconstitutional.

“So we have input, there have been changes, especially in the workforce,” said Yasonna on Wednesday, January 4, 2022.

Yasonna also said the ratification of the Perppu was based on an analysis of global economic conditions. For this reason, he said the Perppu was aimed at tackling future global uncertainties.

“Economists [predict that the economic] conditions in 2023 will not be good. The prognosis could be a global recession and others,” he said when met at the ministry’s building, South Jakarta.

The government hoped that the Perppu would be an effort to recover from the global recession. With this regulation, he said MSMEs would be more resilient to global economic uncertainties.

“This is our effort to facilitate the ease of doing business, supporting MSMEs so that in 2023, the economic conditions will be better,” said the PDI-P politician.

Therefore, Yasonna said this Perppu had been discussed for a long time since the Constitutional Court's verdict was issued. The law determination, however, was in accordance with the applicable regulations, including the court's ruling.
