Between 2014 and 2017, Indonesia together with Japan served as the inaugural co-chairs of the OECD’s Southeast Asia Regional Programme.
The OECD Council took the decision to open accession discussions with Indonesia on 20 February 2024, following careful deliberation by OECD members, including on the basis of its evidence-based Framework for Consideration of Prospective Members.
The Accession Roadmaps set out the terms, conditions and process for accession and reflect priority areas identified by OECD members for accession to the organisation. The ensuing accession process will include a rigorous and in-depth evaluation by 26 technical committees of Indonesia’s alignment with OECD standards, policies and practices.
The technical reviews will cover almost every area of public policy, including open trade and investment, public governance, integrity and anti-corruption efforts, as well as the effective protection of the environment and action on climate.
As a result of these technical reviews, committees may recommend changes to Indonesia’s legislation, policy and practices to bring them further into line with OECD standards and best practices, thus serving as a powerful catalyst for reform and contributing to Indonesia’s own domestic reform agenda.
