On 19 May 2020, the Ministry of Trade issued Regulation No. 50 of 2020 on the Requirements regarding Business Licensing, Advertising, Development, and Supervision of Businesses in Commerce through the Electronic Systems. This regulation is an implementing regulation of the E-Commerce Regulation (Government Regulation No. 80 of 2019 on Commerce through Electronic Systems), which clarifies most of the unresolved issues in the E-Commerce Regulation.
