Podcast: Indonesia’s e-commerce sector – latest regulatory insights

With more and more Indonesians buying goods and services online and with increased investment flowing in, the e-commerce sector is said to have great potential for growth and development. Factors driving this growth include a growing middle class, greater access to mobile technology, a greater number of fintech and alternative finance options and increased foreign investment.
