| Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) play a crucial role in the integrated global economy, helping companies to expand their reach and enhance competitive advantage. This thesis, titled "Mergers and Acquisitions in Indonesia: Legal Regulation and Comparative Analysis with Singapore," addresses two primary research problems: first, the legal frameworks governing M&As in Indonesia, and second, a comparison of these frameworks with Singapore’s, known for its efficient and investor-friendly regulatory environment. The research methodology involves normative legal research, integrating an examination of regulations and legal literature with a descriptive analysis of the legal frameworks and practices in both countries. The author conducts an in-depth review of legal documents, case studies, and expert opinions to elucidate how M&A regulations are implemented in Indonesia and how these compare to those in Singapore. While Indonesia has regulations for M&As, there are significant differences in efficiency and accessibility when compared to Singapore. The research concludes that Singapore provides a more investor-friendly and efficient regulatory environment, whereas Indonesia faces challenges in regulatory harmonization and the implementation of more transparent policies. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and legal professionals in understanding and navigating the complexities of M&A transactions in Southeast Asian markets. |
