In late 2025, Statistics Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik or BPS) released an important new regulation called Peraturan BPS Number 7 of 2025. This rule introduces the updated Indonesian Standard Classification of Business Fields — commonly known as KBLI 2025 — which replaces the previous KBLI 2020 system.

What Exactly Is KBLI 2025?

KBLI stands for Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia, a national standard used to classify all economic activities in Indonesia. Every business activity — from traditional manufacturing to cutting-edge digital platforms — is categorized using this system.

The 2025 update was developed to reflect today’s rapidly changing economy, including new types of businesses such as digital services, creative content platforms, carbon trading, renewable energy, and more. KBLI 2025 also aligns with international statistical standards (ISIC Revision 5) so that Indonesia’s data becomes more comparable globally.

Why This Matters to Companies

This regulation is more than a technical update — it affects how Indonesian companies are officially recognized and registered:

Legal Classification Matters
Your company’s official activity codes (KBLI codes) determine how your business is registered in government systems like Perizinan Berusaha (Business Licensing) through OSS. If your activities change under the new classification, your business might need to update its legal documents.

Statistical Reporting and Compliance
Many government reports, economic statistics, and even planning decisions use KBLI codes. Ensuring your company’s activities are accurately classified improves data quality and helps the government design better policies — and it keeps your business compliant with national reporting standards.

What Companies Need to Do Now

To stay compliant with Peraturan BPS No. 7 of 2025, here are the most important steps companies should take:

Check Your Current KBLI Codes
Review your existing KBLI codes against the new KBLI 2025 list. Some codes may remain the same, while others will have new numbers or definitions. BPS provides a concordance table to help match old KBLI 2020 codes with the new 2025 codes.

Update Business Licenses if Needed
If the nature of your business activities has changed, you may need to revise your articles of association (Anggaran Dasar) and update your KBLI codes in the OSS system.

For example:

• Expanding into digital services?
• Adopting new technology-based operations?

These changes can require administrative updates with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights and OSS.

Prepare for Better Reporting
With updated classifications, BPS will use KBLI 2025 in important government surveys, economic statistics, and planning tools. Businesses should ensure their internal data systems align with the new KBLI structure to make future reporting and compliance reporting smoother.

Benefits for Businesses and the Economy

While it might seem like a bureaucratic update, KBLI 2025 actually brings practical advantages:

More Accurate Business Identity:
Your company will be classified under a system that better reflects modern economic activities, including emerging sectors.

Improved Data for Decision-Making:
Since government planning and economic policy depend on reliable statistics, your business benefits from better market insights and policymaker decisions.

Global Alignment:
By following international classification standards, Indonesian businesses become more visible and understandable in global data comparisons.

Final Thoughts

Peraturan BPS No. 7 of 2025 and the newly adopted KBLI 2025 represent an important modernization of how businesses are categorized in Indonesia. While the update brings extra administrative steps, proactive companies will gain clarity, better compliance with government systems, and alignment with global economic frameworks.

👉 Action Tip: Start reviewing your business’s KBLI codes today and consult your legal or compliance team to plan any necessary updates in your OSS filings and company documents.
