President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has given a number of religious organizations the opportunity to manage mining businesses. Religious organizations are given access to obtain Special Mining Business Permits (IUPK). This is regulated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 25 of 2024 concerning amendments to Government Regulation Number 96 of 2021. This PP regulates the Implementation of Mineral and Coal Mining Business Activities and was signed by the President on May 30 2024.[1]

"In order to improve community welfare, WIUPK can be carried out on a priority basis to Business Entities of religious community organizations," wrote Article 83A (1) PP 25/2024, quoted on Sunday (2/6/2024). "The share ownership of religious community organizations in a Business Entity must be the majority and they must be investors," states Article 83 (4) PP 25/2024.[2]

The religious organizations regulated in this article are those that carry out economic activities and aim to provide economic empowerment. Both for members and the community/people.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
