Indonesia’s Minister of Health has issued Decree No. HK.01.07/MENKES/301/2026 on the Affixation of Nutritional Labels and Health Information to Ready-to-Eat Processed Food Products. The decree came into force on April 14, 2026, and was issued to implement the Health Law and Minister of Health Regulation No. 3 of 2026 on Disease Control. The decree requires the inclusion of Nutri-Level labeling on the front-of-pack nutrition labeling (FOPNL) to indicate the product’s nutritional level based on the content of sugar, salt, and fat (“gula, garam dan lemak (GGL)”). Changes from 2024 Draft Regulation The Nutri-Level labeling was previously proposed in 2024 by the Indonesian FDA (BPOM) through a draft regulation concerning nutrition information. While the categories of Nutri-Level labeling remain the same in the issued decree, the content requirements of sugar, salt and fat in the decree are different from the earlier proposal introduced in the 2024 draft BPOM regulation. In addition, the decree has further specified that the content of fat in the Nutri-Level labeling is the content of saturated fat, not total fat as previously proposed in the 2024 draft. The decree requires Nutri-Level labeling to be implemented in beverage products, which is the same as previously proposed in the 2024 draft BPOM regulation. Other food products may gradually become subject to mandatory Nutri-Level labeling under future implementing regulations. Nutri-Level Labeling Food levels as shown by the Nutri-Level labeling are classified into four color-coded categories from A to D: Level A (lowest amount) in dark green Level B in light green Level C in yellow Level D (highest amount) in red The Nutri-Level labeling is represented by the following image. The requirements for each level for sugar, salt, and fat content, based on amounts per 100 milliliters of product in beverage form, are as follows. Nutri-Level information must be

Indonesia’s Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) has issued Regulation No. 7 of 2026 on Drug Promotion and Advertising, establishing an updated framework for promotional activities involving medicinal products in Indonesia. The regulation took effect on April 16, 2026, and supersedes BPOM Regulation No. 2 of 2021 on Drug Advertising Supervision. The new regulation maintains general principles for advertising content, including requirements that advertisements be objective, complete, and not misleading, as further detailed in its annex. It also confirms that advertisements for nonprescription drugs directed to the public must obtain prior approval from BPOM before publication and must be in Bahasa Indonesia. The regulation provides a more comprehensive framework governing how drug promotion is conducted, introducing several notable additions and changes, as described below. Procedure and Requirements for Drug Advertisement Approval To apply for a drug advertisement approval, applicants must create an online account through the dedicated portal SIAPIK. Advertisement approval is available only for registered drugs; unregistered drugs are not eligible for advertisement approval with BPOM. The application must include the advertisement design, along with a translation if the design contains any wording in a foreign language. The submission format varies by media type, requiring, for example, copies in the form of print advertisements for visual media, scripts for audio media, and storyboards for audiovisual media. For online media—including social media—submissions should include any captions, descriptions, and hashtags that form an integral part of the advertising material. The approval timeline takes approximately 3–4 months, as BPOM will generally request additional information or revisions during the verification and evaluation process. Applicants have 20 days to submit any such requested documents. BPOM may also conduct a reevaluation of advertisements that have already received approval, based on monitoring results or new information regarding the safety and quality of the advertised drug.

After several years of policy discussion and continued efforts led by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) to relax the list of reserved businesses under the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (1999) (FBA), the reform process has now reached a significant milestone. On May 12, 2026, the Thai cabinet approved in principle two draft subordinate legislative instruments aimed at delisting certain reserved business activities under the FBA and reducing licensing requirements for foreign business operators. These developments signal a renewed and concrete effort by the government to modernize Thailand’s business regulatory framework in order to attract foreign investment and boost Thailand’s competitiveness in the global market. Nine Businesses Set for FBA Delisting Below is a list of the nine businesses that are being targeted for delisting from the FBA’s restrictions. A draft ministerial regulation would delist the first eight reserved businesses, while a royal decree has been drafted to delist the ninth business: Telecommunications services (Type 1 license only, covering operators without their own telecommunications infrastructure), under the supervision of the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission. Treasury center services subject to the Foreign Exchange Control Act B.E. 2485 and under the supervision of the Bank of Thailand. Securities-collateralized lending, pursuant to the laws governing securities and exchange and derivatives regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Agency, dealer, advisory, or fund management services relating to derivatives where the underlying assets fall outside the scope of the Derivatives Act B.E. 2546 (2003) Intra-group shared services, including administrative, human resources, and IT functions Intra-group domestic debt guarantee services Leasing of partial space for installation of financial service machines and automatic vending machines for employee use Petroleum drilling services Trading of agricultural product derivatives through a futures exchange, with physical delivery or receipt of agricultural products at a futures exchange–designated

Thailand published new rules on May 1, 2026, establishing clear procedures for how the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) handles digital assets seized during criminal and money laundering investigations. Taking effect the following day, the Regulation of the Anti-Money Laundering Board on the Custody and Management of Seized or Frozen Assets (No. 3) B.E. 2569 applies to digital asset businesses, cryptocurrency holders, and anyone subject to asset seizure under Thailand’s anti-money laundering laws. For the first time, authorities now have a detailed roadmap for transferring seized digital property from private or foreign control into secure state custody. Digital asset businesses holding customer assets under investigation must be prepared to comply with these rules compelling repatriation of such assets in enforcement actions. Expanded Definition of Digital Assets The regulation defines digital assets to include not only those covered by Thailand’s existing digital asset business law but also any other property that can be stored using the same methods as digital assets. This broad formulation means the custody rules will apply to emerging blockchain-based assets and tokenized property that may not yet fall within the statutory definition of a digital asset business, giving authorities flexibility as the technology evolves. Mandatory Transfer to Domestic Custody When digital assets are held with service providers outside Thailand, AMLO will first attempt to transfer them to an account the office maintains with a licensed domestic digital asset business operator. If the domestic operator does not support that particular asset, the office will instead move the assets to its own cold wallet (offline, internet-isolated storage system). If neither option is feasible, the seizing official will report the situation to the Anti-Money Laundering Committee for alternative instructions. A similar hierarchy governs assets held in an accused party’s private wallet or by any third party that is not a
