Maxim Indonesia Raises Concerns Over Proposed 2025 Ojol Regulation

Potential Industry-Wide Implications

Maxim Indonesia has expressed significant concerns regarding the draft Presidential Regulation (Perpres) on online transportation services set to be implemented in 2025. According to Rafi Assagaf, Government Relations Specialist at Maxim Indonesia, several proposed changes in the regulation could have far-reaching consequences for the online transportation ecosystem.

Key Areas of Concern

The proposed regulation includes three major points that have raised concerns:

1. Reclassification of Drivers: Changing the status of drivers from partners to employees
2. Application Fee Adjustment: Reducing the application fee cut to 10%
3. Mandatory Insurance: Introducing compulsory insurance for drivers

Impact on Industry Structure

These proposed changes would significantly affect the current business model of online transportation companies. The reclassification of drivers as employees would lead to substantial changes in operational costs and management. The reduction in application fees could impact the profitability of the platforms, while mandatory insurance would add to the operational expenses of drivers.

Need for Comprehensive Analysis

Maxim Indonesia strongly advocates for a thorough examination of these proposals before they are implemented. The company believes that such significant changes require careful consideration of their potential impacts on the ecosystem. The analysis should include economic, social, and operational dimensions to ensure that the new regulations achieve their intended objectives without causing unintended harm to the industry.
