Indonesia passes carbon tax bill as part of GHG regulation effort
In this episode of G&R Airtime, we discuss the recently issued regulations relating to electronic General Meetings of Shareholders (e-GMS) in Indonesia, a matter of great interest to public companies given the current restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
To address some of the previous uncertainties relating to the process for holding an e-GMS and in light of the prevailing social distancing measures in place, the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) issued two regulations following the outbreak of Covid-19: OJK Regulation No. 15/POJK.04/2020 and OJK Regulation No. 16/POJK.04/2020. In this podcast, we discuss:
- The process for holding an e-GMS under the new regulations;
- The practicalities of holding an e-GMS and what companies need to do in order to comply with the regulations;
- The pros and cons of holding an e-GMS and some common obstacles that companies encounter; and
- The role that legal advisors can play in ensuring companies are equipped with the knowledge and understanding in order to effectively hold an e-GMS.
