Alcoholic beverages came under scrutiny after President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) signed Presidential Regulation Number 10 of 2021 concerning Investment Business. This regulation eased investment permits in the ethyl alcohol-containing beverage (MMEA) sector. This regulation applies to Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, North Sulawesi, and Papua.
