What Changed

No KBLI-2020 predecessor is recorded for this code. Indonesia has a vibrant post-Reformasi (1998) journalistic tradition.

What You Need

**PMA:** Fully open to PMA — 100% foreign ownership allowed. **Risk tier under review.** No KBLI-2025 risk scope for this code could be retrieved from the OSS API when this dataset was built, so we cannot currently verify the tier this page's assessment was derived from. Where this page states a risk tier or a scale-based requirement, treat it as provisional pending re-derivation, and verify the current classification at oss.go.id before acting on it.

Risk & licensing
No OSS-RBA rows retrievable — special / sectoral regimeDeclared gap—

No KBLI-2025 risk scope was retrievable from the OSS API for this code (ruang-lingkup 404), and no licensing rows are served on this page. Activities in this group are typically licensed under a special or sectoral regime — on the crosswalk watchlist: if OSS publishes a scope, the code is re-adjudicated.

Foreign ownership (PMA)
Perpres 10/2021, 49/2021Declared gap—

Our sources record no KBLI-2020 predecessor for this code, so we cannot trace how the investment-list verdict shown here was assigned to it. The value is served as-is, not as a verified determination — confirm it at oss.go.id before relying on it.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a independent journalism business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 90113 (Aktivitas Jurnalis Berita Independen) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 90113?
KBLI 90113 sits outside the ordinary OSS-RBA risk-based licensing flow: no business-scale licensing rows for it are retrievable from OSS. Activities in this group are typically licensed under a special or sectoral regime (e.g. government affairs, financial services under OJK/BI, education or health authorities) — verify the applicable regulator case-by-case before relying on an NIB alone.
What is KBLI 90113?
KBLI 90113 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Aktivitas Jurnalis Berita Independen" (Independent Journalism). It falls under Section R of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
