The Ministry of Commerce announced the prohibition of multi-level marketing in Notification No. 46/2018 dated 18 September 2018 (the Notification).

The Notification does not contain details on the definition of multi-level marketing or the specific activities that are prohibited under the Notification, but simply states that multi-level marketing is prohibited by the date of the Notification. It is also unclear how the prohibition will be implemented. The prohibition appears to be a broad one at this juncture to stop multi-level marketing activities across the board whilst the Ministry of Commerce decides how to proceed moving forward. There is no indication whether the prohibition will be a temporary one.
