Cold storageForeigners will be able own 100% of cold storage businesses across the country. Ownership is currently capped at either 33% or 67%, depending on the region.
E-commerceReversing course from a 2014 decision, the government is planning to open up the industry 100% to foreign investment provided the investment is worth more than 10bn rupiah.
PowerForeigners will be allowed 100% ownership of geothermal power plants of more than 10 megawatts, and ownership for smaller plants will be capped at 67%. Foreign investors currently are not allowed own a stake in smaller plants.
