In an aggressive effort to boost national economic competitiveness, the government has continued to push bureaucratic reform throughout the first half of 2026. The main focus of this policy is the simplification of administrative governance, which has long been seen as hindering efficiency for both the general public and the corporate sector.
As of mid-June 2026, strategic steps through various government resolutions have successfully eliminated 697 administrative procedures and simplified another 673. In addition, 1,754 business requirements deemed irrelevant or burdensome have officially been cut. This step is projected to reduce administrative processing time by up to 53 percent and lower compliance costs by 54.6 percent compared to 2024 data.
The government targets ministries and agencies to handle a maximum of 30 percent of the total administrative procedures under their authority. Currently, this decentralization policy has yielded results with the delegation of hundreds of authorities to local governments to speed up services without being hindered by rigid administrative boundaries.
In addition to bureaucratic efficiency, the government is also restructuring the conditional investment sector. A total of 95 out of 237 conditional business sectors (40 percent) have been abolished compared to 2020 regulations. This transformation is part of the government's grand plan to achieve double-digit economic growth targets in the 2026-2030 period.
As a sustainable measure, the government requires all ministerial institutions to immediately complete revisions to 312 supporting legal documents, ranging from laws to circular letters, by March 2027 at the latest. The synergy between database digitalization and regulatory simplification is expected to serve as a strong foundation for building a more transparent and investment-friendly business ecosystem in the future.
