Indonesia's One Data Law Passes Parliament; President Receives Drafting Team at the Palace
The One Data Indonesia law was passed by the DPR on October 6, and on October 29 President Prabowo received the joint drafting team, framing data sovereignty as the foundation for more accurate public services and cyber resilience.
Indonesia's One Data Indonesia law (UU Satu Data) was passed by the House of Representatives on October 6, 2026, and on October 29 President Prabowo Subianto received the joint drafting team — comprising DPR members, IPB academics, the Presidential Staff Office and the national development planning agency — at the Merdeka Palace, as reported by ANTARA and confirmed by Kompas.com. The president emphasized data sovereignty as the foundation for more accurate public services and stronger cybersecurity posture.
The law now provides a statutory umbrella for national data governance, and the heavier practical work follows in derived regulations: government regulations, ministerial rules and interoperability standards that will oblige ministries, agencies and regional governments to standardize, clean and integrate their data — including digitizing the analog documents that remain the source of much of it. Government institutions hold vast archives of permits, service records and registries in paper or scanned form, and consolidation under a single-data standard typically begins with digitization and metadata standardization at the agency level.
