How Does Perpres 200/2024 Establish the Creative Economy Agency?

Executive Summary

Perpres 200/2024, enacted on November 8, 2024, establishes Badan Ekonomi Kreatif (Bekraf) as an independent non-ministerial government agency under direct presidential authority, marking a critical institutional reconfiguration in Indonesia's creative economy governance structure. This regulation operationalizes Article 11 of Law 39/2008 (as amended by Law 61/2024) by separating creative economy functions from the previous integrated tourism-creative economy body (Perpres 97/2019) and creating a dedicated agency led by a Minister with deputy minister support. The regulation establishes a four-pillar functional mandate spanning strategic development, cultural-design creativity, digital-technology creativity, and media creativity, supported by a hierarchical organizational structure comprising five deputies, secretariat general, inspectorate, and support centers. This analysis examines the legal framework establishing Bekraf, its institutional positioning within presidential authority, organizational architecture, functional scope across creative sectors, and the revocation impact on previous regulations.

Section 1: The Agency Mandate - Creative Economy Development and Promotion

Legal Foundation and Constitutional Basis

Perpres 200/2024 derives its legal authority from three primary sources as articulated in the "Mengingat" (Considering) section. The constitutional foundation rests on Article 4(1) and Article 17 of the 1945 Constitution, which grant the President authority over government administration and ministerial organization. The statutory basis emerges from Law 39/2008 concerning State Ministries, as amended by Law 61/2024, which provides the framework for non-ministerial government agencies. The immediate regulatory context derives from Perpres 140/2024 concerning State Ministry Organization, establishing the administrative framework for Bekraf's creation.

The regulation's preamble establishes the necessity rationale: "bahwa untuk melaksanakan ketentuan Pasal 11 Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 2008 tentang Kementerian Negara sebagaimana telah diubah dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 61 Tahun 2024 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 39 Tahun 2008 tentang Kementerian Negara, perlu menetapkan Peraturan Presiden tentang Badan Ekonomi Kreatif" (that to implement the provisions of Article 11 of Law 39/2008 concerning State Ministries as amended by Law 61/2024 concerning Amendment to Law 39/2008 concerning State Ministries, it is necessary to establish a Presidential Regulation concerning the Creative Economy Agency).

Core Government Task Definition

Pasal 3 establishes the fundamental mandate with precision: "Bekraf melaksanakan tugas pemerintahan di bidang ekonomi kreatif berdasarkan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan" (Bekraf carries out government tasks in the field of creative economy based on statutory provisions). This formulation differs significantly from ministerial task definitions by specifying "government tasks" (tugas pemerintahan) rather than "government affairs" (urusan pemerintahan), reflecting Bekraf's status as a non-ministerial agency with technical-operational rather than policy-formulation primacy.

The definition of Bekraf in Pasal 1(1) provides institutional clarity: "Badan Ekonomi Kreatif yang selanjutnya disingkat Bekraf adalah Lembaga Pemerintah Non Kementerian yang menyelenggarakan tugas pemerintahan di bidang ekonomi kreatif" (The Creative Economy Agency hereinafter abbreviated as Bekraf is a Non-Ministerial Government Agency that carries out government tasks in the field of creative economy). The LPNK (Lembaga Pemerintah Non Kementerian) designation situates Bekraf within Indonesia's administrative hierarchy as an agency with specialized technical functions operating outside the standard ministerial structure.

Functional Architecture - Four Technical Domains

Pasal 4 establishes nine distinct functions organized around four substantive technical domains. The four primary creative domains are: (1) pengembangan strategis ekonomi kreatif (strategic creative economy development), (2) kreativitas budaya dan desain (cultural and design creativity), (3) kreativitas digital dan teknologi (digital and technology creativity), and (4) kreativitas media (media creativity).

The functional matrix structure is presented below:

This nine-function architecture distributes responsibilities across policy cycle phases (formulation, implementation, coordination), standard-setting activities, capacity-building functions (guidance, supervision), and internal management operations. The repetition of "across four creative domains" in functions (a) through (e) creates a 4x5 functional matrix spanning 20 substantive operational areas.

Reporting and Accountability Structure

Pasal 38 establishes dual-mode reporting requirements: "Menteri/Kepala menyampaikan laporan kepada Presiden mengenai hasil pelaksanaan tugas pemerintahan di bidang ekonomi kreatif secara berkala dan sewaktu-waktu sesuai kebutuhan" (The Minister/Head submits reports to the President regarding the results of government task implementation in the field of creative economy on a regular basis and from time to time as needed). This creates both periodic (berkala) and ad hoc (sewaktu-waktu) reporting obligations, reflecting presidential oversight expectations for this direct-subordinate agency.

Section 2: The Institutional Position - Non-Ministerial Agency Under Presidential Authority

Direct Presidential Subordination

Pasal 2 establishes Bekraf's unique institutional positioning: "(1) Bekraf berada di bawah dan bertanggung jawab kepada Presiden. (2) Bekraf dipimpin oleh Kepala" (Bekraf is under and responsible to the President. Bekraf is led by a Head). This "berada di bawah dan bertanggung jawab" formulation creates direct hierarchical subordination without intermediate ministerial coordination, distinguishing Bekraf from agencies subordinate to coordinating ministries or sectoral ministries.

The institutional positioning matrix is as follows:

Ministerial Leadership of Non-Ministerial Agency

Pasal 7 creates an unusual structural feature: "Kepala dijabat oleh Menteri Ekonomi Kreatif" (The Head is held by the Minister of Creative Economy). This provision establishes that the LPNK head simultaneously holds ministerial status, creating a hybrid institutional form where a non-ministerial agency receives ministerial-level leadership. This differs from standard LPNK structures where heads typically hold positions equivalent to deputy minister or below.

Pasal 8 reinforces this by establishing a deputy minister position: "(2) Wakil Kepala dijabat oleh Wakil Menteri Ekonomi Kreatif. (3) Wakil Menteri/Wakil Kepala mempunyai tugas membantu Menteri/Kepala dalam memimpin pelaksanaan tugas dan fungsi Bekraf" (The Vice Head is held by the Deputy Minister of Creative Economy. The Deputy Minister/Vice Head has the task of assisting the Minister/Head in leading the implementation of Bekraf's tasks and functions). This creates a two-tier executive leadership structure with both minister and deputy minister positions, unusual for LPNK institutions.

Autonomy and Coordination Requirements

Pasal 40 establishes inter-institutional coordination obligations: "(1) Setiap unsur di lingkungan Bekraf dalam melaksanakan tugas dan fungsi menerapkan prinsip koordinasi, integrasi, sinkronisasi, dan kolaborasi di lingkungan Bekraf, antarinstansi pemerintah, dan dengan lembaga lain yang terkait" (Every element within Bekraf in carrying out tasks and functions applies the principles of coordination, integration, synchronization, and collaboration within Bekraf, between government agencies, and with other related institutions).

This creates three coordination spheres: (1) internal Bekraf coordination (di lingkungan Bekraf), (2) inter-governmental agency coordination (antarinstansi pemerintah), and (3) external institution coordination (dengan lembaga lain yang terkait). The requirement in Pasal 40(2) for "interoperabilitas data dan informasi" (data and information interoperability) operationalizes these coordination principles through technical integration mechanisms.

Budget Autonomy and Resource Management

Pasal 45 establishes financial independence: "Pendanaan dalam pelaksanaan tugas dan fungsi Bekraf bersumber dari Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara" (Funding for the implementation of Bekraf's tasks and functions is sourced from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget). This direct APBN allocation without ministerial intermediation provides fiscal autonomy, enabling independent budget planning and execution subject only to presidential and parliamentary oversight.

Pasal 44 establishes comprehensive resource management authority: "Pembinaan dan pengelolaan sumber daya manusia, keuangan, perlengkapan, kearsipan, dokumentasi, dan persandian diselenggarakan oleh Bekraf dengan menerapkan sistem pemerintahan berbasis elektronik dalam rangka mendukung transformasi digital" (Development and management of human resources, finance, equipment, archives, documentation, and ciphers are conducted by Bekraf by applying electronic-based government systems to support digital transformation). This grants Bekraf autonomous control over six resource categories with digitalization requirements.

Section 3: The Core Functions - Policy, Industry Development, and Creative Ecosystem

Strategic Development Deputy - Master Planning and Cross-Cutting Coordination

Pasal 13 establishes the mandate for the Deputy for Strategic Creative Economy Development: "Deputi Bidang Pengembangan Strategis Ekonomi Kreatif mempunyai tugas menyelenggarakan koordinasi, perumusan, dan pelaksanaan kebijakan teknis di bidang pengembangan strategis ekonomi kreatif" (The Deputy for Strategic Creative Economy Development has the task of organizing coordination, formulation, and implementation of technical policies in the field of strategic creative economy development).

Pasal 14 articulates nine specific functions for this deputy, creating a master planning and coordination role distinct from the three sectoral deputies. The strategic deputy functions include:

The master plan function (Pasal 14(d): "koordinasi, sinkronisasi, dan penyusunan rencana induk ekonomi kreatif") creates a national creative economy framework coordinating the three sectoral deputies' activities, distinguishing this deputy's role as strategic rather than operational.

Cultural and Design Creativity Deputy - Traditional and Contemporary Creative Industries

Pasal 16 establishes the mandate: "Deputi Bidang Kreativitas Budaya dan Desain mempunyai tugas menyelenggarakan perumusan dan pelaksanaan kebijakan teknis di bidang kreativitas budaya dan desain" (The Deputy for Cultural and Design Creativity has the task of organizing the formulation and implementation of technical policies in the field of cultural and design creativity).

This deputy covers creative subsectors traditionally associated with tangible cultural products and services, encompassing crafts, fashion, culinary arts, architecture, interior design, visual arts, performing arts, and music. Pasal 17 establishes seven functions: (a) technical policy formulation, (b) technical policy implementation, (c) standard development (norms, standards, procedures, criteria), (d) technical guidance and supervision, (e) monitoring, analysis, evaluation, and reporting, (f) deputy administration, and (g) delegated functions.

Digital and Technology Creativity Deputy - Innovation and Tech-Enabled Creative Services

Pasal 19 establishes the mandate: "Deputi Bidang Kreativitas Digital dan Teknologi mempunyai tugas menyelenggarakan perumusan dan pelaksanaan kebijakan teknis di bidang kreativitas digital dan teknologi" (The Deputy for Digital and Technology Creativity has the task of organizing the formulation and implementation of technical policies in the field of digital and technology creativity).

This deputy encompasses technology-enabled creative industries including application and game development, software development, digital platforms, fintech for creative industries, and technology-enabled design services. Pasal 20 mirrors the seven-function structure of the cultural-design deputy, creating functional parallelism across sectoral deputies.

Media Creativity Deputy - Content Production and Distribution

Pasal 22 establishes the mandate: "Deputi Bidang Kreativitas Media mempunyai tugas menyelenggarakan perumusan dan pelaksanaan kebijakan teknis di bidang kreativitas media" (The Deputy for Media Creativity has the task of organizing the formulation and implementation of technical policies in the field of media creativity).

This deputy covers publishing, film, television, radio, advertising, and digital content production and distribution. Pasal 23 replicates the seven-function structure, maintaining organizational symmetry across the three sectoral deputies while allowing specialized focus within each domain.

Secretariat General - Administrative Backbone

Pasal 10 establishes the Secretariat General's coordinating role: "Sekretariat Utama mempunyai tugas menyelenggarakan koordinasi pelaksanaan tugas, pembinaan, dan pemberian dukungan administrasi kepada seluruh unsur organisasi di lingkungan Bekraf" (The Secretariat General has the task of organizing coordination of task implementation, guidance, and provision of administrative support to all organizational elements within Bekraf).

Pasal 11 enumerates eight secretariat functions: (a) coordination of Bekraf activities, (b) coordination and formulation of plans, programs, and budgets, (c) administrative support guidance covering secretarial services, human resources, finance, housekeeping, cooperation, public relations, archives, and documentation, (d) organizational structuring and work procedures, (e) coordination and formulation of legislation and legal advocacy, (f) state property management and procurement coordination, (g) data and information management, and (h) delegated functions.

This creates a comprehensive support infrastructure spanning planning, budgeting, human resources, financial management, legal services, procurement, and information systems—enabling the sectoral deputies to focus on substantive creative economy development.

Inspectorate - Internal Control and Audit

Pasal 25 establishes the oversight mandate: "Inspektorat mempunyai tugas melaksanakan pengawasan intern di lingkungan Bekraf" (The Inspectorate has the task of implementing internal oversight within Bekraf). Pasal 26 details six functions: (a) formulation of internal oversight technical policies, (b) implementation of internal oversight over performance and finance through audit, review, evaluation, monitoring, and other oversight activities, (c) implementation of oversight for specific purposes upon Minister/Head assignment, (d) formulation of oversight result reports, (e) inspectorate administration, and (f) delegated functions.

The reporting structure in Pasal 24(1) creates indirect presidential oversight: "Inspektorat berada di bawah dan bertanggung jawab kepada Menteri/Kepala melalui Sekretaris Utama" (The Inspectorate is under and responsible to the Minister/Head through the Secretary General). This triangular relationship (Inspectorate → Secretary General → Minister/Head) enables independent audit findings while maintaining hierarchical accountability.

Section 4: The Sectoral Scope - Creative Industry Coverage

Four-Pillar Creative Domain Framework

While Perpres 200/2024 does not enumerate the specific 17 creative industry subsectors established in earlier Indonesian creative economy policy frameworks, the regulation organizes creative economy governance into four substantive domains, each managed by a dedicated deputy:

1. Pengembangan Strategis Ekonomi Kreatif (Strategic Creative Economy Development) - Pasal 4(a)-(e) and Pasal 13-14
2. Kreativitas Budaya dan Desain (Cultural and Design Creativity) - Pasal 4(a)-(e) and Pasal 15-17
3. Kreativitas Digital dan Teknologi (Digital and Technology Creativity) - Pasal 4(a)-(e) and Pasal 18-20
4. Kreativitas Media (Media Creativity) - Pasal 4(a)-(e) and Pasal 21-23

These four domains function as organizational pillars structuring Bekraf's operational architecture, with the strategic development domain providing cross-cutting coordination and the three sectoral domains providing specialized technical functions.

Implied Subsector Coverage Based on Deputy Mandates

While the regulation does not explicitly list creative subsectors, the three sectoral deputy mandates imply coverage of the following subsector groupings:

Cultural and Design Creativity (Pasal 16-17):
- Crafts (kerajinan)
- Fashion (mode)
- Culinary arts (kuliner)
- Architecture (arsitektur)
- Interior design (desain interior)
- Visual arts (seni rupa)
- Performing arts (seni pertunjukan)
- Music (musik)

Digital and Technology Creativity (Pasal 19-20):
- Application and game development (aplikasi dan permainan)
- Software development and IT services
- Digital platforms
- Technology-enabled design services

Media Creativity (Pasal 22-23):
- Publishing (penerbitan)
- Film, animation, and video (film, animasi, dan video)
- Television and radio (televisi dan radio)
- Advertising (periklanan)
- Photography (fotografi)
- Digital content production

This mapping aligns with the 16 creative economy subsectors identified in Indonesia's 2009-2015 creative economy development roadmap and the 17 subsectors in subsequent planning documents, though Perpres 200/2024 adopts a functional domain approach rather than explicit subsector enumeration.

Standard-Setting and Regulatory Authority

Pasal 4(d) grants Bekraf norm-setting authority: "penyusunan norma, standar, prosedur, dan kriteria di bidang pengembangan strategis ekonomi kreatif, kreativitas budaya dan desain, kreativitas digital dan teknologi, dan kreativitas media" (formulation of norms, standards, procedures, and criteria in the fields of strategic creative economy development, cultural and design creativity, digital and technology creativity, and media creativity).

This creates quasi-regulatory authority to establish technical standards, operational procedures, and eligibility criteria across the four creative domains. Pasal 14(e), 17(c), 20(c), and 23(c) replicate this standard-setting function at the deputy level, distributing norm-development responsibilities across the organizational structure.

The standard-setting matrix is:

Technical Guidance and Supervision Mechanisms

Pasal 4(e) establishes capacity-building authority: "pelaksanaan bimbingan teknis dan supervisi di bidang pengembangan strategis ekonomi kreatif, kreativitas budaya dan desain, kreativitas digital dan teknologi, dan kreativitas media" (implementation of technical guidance and supervision in the fields of strategic creative economy development, cultural and design creativity, digital and technology creativity, and media creativity).

This dual function combines bimbingan teknis (technical guidance), focused on capacity building and skills transfer, with supervisi (supervision), focused on compliance monitoring and performance oversight. The distribution across four creative domains enables specialized technical assistance tailored to each sectoral domain's unique requirements.

Section 5: The Revocation Impact - Replacing Creative Economy Functions from Perpres 97/2019

Institutional Separation - Tourism and Creative Economy Disaggregation

Pasal 50 effects the institutional separation: "Pada saat Peraturan Presiden ini mulai berlaku, pelaksanaan tugas dan fungsi urusan pemerintahan di bidang pariwisata yang dilaksanakan oleh Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif berdasarkan: 1. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 96 Tahun 2019 tentang Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 269); dan 2. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), dialihkan menjadi tugas dan fungsi Kementerian Pariwisata" (Upon the entry into force of this Presidential Regulation, the implementation of government affairs tasks and functions in the field of tourism carried out by the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency based on: 1. Presidential Regulation 96/2019 concerning Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy; and 2. Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, are transferred to become tasks and functions of the Ministry of Tourism).

This provision disaggregates the integrated tourism-creative economy body established in 2019, transferring tourism functions to a separate Ministry of Tourism while consolidating creative economy functions within the new Bekraf. The separation reflects a policy determination that tourism and creative economy, while related, require distinct institutional structures due to differing operational characteristics, stakeholder ecosystems, and policy instruments.

Revocation Scope - Creative Economy Functions Only

Pasal 53 specifies the precise revocation scope: "Pada saat Peraturan Presiden ini mulai berlaku: 1. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 96 Tahun 2019 tentang Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 269); dan 2. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), sepanjang berkaitan dengan tugas pemerintahan di bidang ekonomi kreatif dicabut dan dinyatakan tidak berlaku" (Upon the entry into force of this Presidential Regulation: 1. Presidential Regulation 96/2019 concerning Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy; and 2. Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, insofar as related to government tasks in the field of creative economy are revoked and declared invalid).

The "sepanjang berkaitan dengan" (insofar as related to) qualifier creates partial revocation—only provisions concerning creative economy are invalidated, leaving tourism-related provisions technically operative until superseded by separate tourism ministry regulations. This surgical revocation approach maintains legal continuity for tourism functions while enabling creative economy institutional restructuring.

Personnel, Asset, and Budget Transition

Pasal 51 establishes a three-category resource transfer mechanism:

Human Resources Transfer (Pasal 51(1)): "seluruh sumber daya manusia yang menduduki jabatan sesuai dengan nomenklatur jabatannya yang berkaitan dengan tugas dan fungsi di bidang pariwisata yang dilaksanakan oleh Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), dialihkan menjadi sumber daya manusia Kementerian Pariwisata" (all human resources occupying positions according to their position nomenclature related to tasks and functions in the field of tourism implemented by the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency based on Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, are transferred to become human resources of the Ministry of Tourism).

This creates automatic personnel transfer based on functional alignment—employees performing tourism-related functions transfer to the Ministry of Tourism, while those performing creative economy functions remain with Bekraf. The "sesuai dengan nomenklatur jabatannya" criterion creates an objective transfer mechanism based on position titles rather than subjective assignment decisions.

Asset, Budget, and Document Transfer (Pasal 51(2)): "aset, anggaran, dan dokumen yang berkaitan dengan tugas dan fungsi di bidang pariwisata yang dilaksanakan oleh Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), dialihkan menjadi aset, anggaran, dan dokumen Kementerian Pariwisata" (assets, budget, and documents related to tasks and functions in the field of tourism implemented by the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency based on Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, are transferred to become assets, budget, and documents of the Ministry of Tourism).

This creates comprehensive resource transfer covering physical assets (buildings, equipment), financial resources (budget allocations), and institutional knowledge (documents, records). The functional alignment principle ensures resources follow personnel, maintaining operational continuity during the institutional transition.

Implementation According to Legislation (Pasal 51(3)): "pengalihan sumber daya manusia, aset, anggaran, dan dokumen sebagaimana dimaksud pada angka 1 dan angka 2 dilaksanakan sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan" (the transfer of human resources, assets, budget, and documents as referred to in numbers 1 and 2 is implemented in accordance with statutory provisions). This subjects the transfer process to existing civil service, state asset management, and budgetary regulations, ensuring procedural compliance and preventing arbitrary resource allocation.

Transitional Continuity Mechanisms

Pasal 48 ensures operational continuity: "Seluruh jabatan yang ada beserta pejabat yang memangku jabatan di Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), tetap melaksanakan tugas dan fungsinya sampai dengan dibentuknya jabatan baru dan diangkat pejabat baru berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden ini" (All existing positions and officials holding positions in the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency based on Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, continue to carry out their tasks and functions until the formation of new positions and the appointment of new officials based on this Presidential Regulation).

This creates a bridge period where existing officials maintain authority under the old structure until the new organizational structure becomes operational, preventing governance vacuums. The "sampai dengan dibentuknya jabatan baru dan diangkat pejabat baru" criterion establishes clear termination conditions—the old structure expires upon completion of new structure formation and official appointments.

Pasal 49 extends continuity to resources: "Pelaksanaan tugas dan fungsi Bekraf dan Kementerian Pariwisata tetap menggunakan sumber daya manusia, aset, anggaran, dan dokumen pada Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), berdasarkan tugas dan fungsi sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan" (The implementation of Bekraf and Ministry of Tourism tasks and functions continues to use human resources, assets, budget, and documents of the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency based on Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, based on tasks and functions in accordance with statutory provisions).

This enables both successor institutions (Bekraf and Ministry of Tourism) to utilize existing resources during the transition period, preventing operational disruption while permanent resource allocations are determined.

Implementing Regulation Continuity

Pasal 52 preserves subordinate regulations: "Pada saat Peraturan Presiden ini mulai berlaku, semua peraturan perundang-undangan yang merupakan peraturan pelaksanaan dari: 1. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 96 Tahun 2019 tentang Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 269); dan 2. Peraturan Presiden Nomor 97 Tahun 2019 tentang Badan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Lembaran Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 2019 Nomor 270), dinyatakan masih tetap berlaku sepanjang tidak bertentangan dengan ketentuan dalam Peraturan Presiden ini" (Upon the entry into force of this Presidential Regulation, all legislation constituting implementing regulations of: 1. Presidential Regulation 96/2019 concerning Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy; and 2. Presidential Regulation 97/2019 concerning Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, are declared to remain in force insofar as not contrary to the provisions in this Presidential Regulation).

This "remains in force unless contrary" principle creates presumptive validity for existing subordinate regulations (ministerial regulations, agency circulars, technical guidelines) issued under the old legal framework, preventing a regulatory vacuum while enabling gradual replacement as new Bekraf regulations are developed. The "sepanjang tidak bertentangan" qualifier allows immediate invalidation of provisions directly conflicting with Perpres 200/2024 while maintaining compatible provisions.

Conclusion

Perpres 200/2024 establishes a comprehensive legal and institutional framework for Indonesia's creative economy governance through the creation of Badan Ekonomi Kreatif as a non-ministerial government agency under direct presidential authority. The regulation implements a four-pillar functional architecture spanning strategic development, cultural-design creativity, digital-technology creativity, and media creativity, supported by a secretariat general providing administrative infrastructure and an inspectorate ensuring internal accountability. The ministerial leadership structure, combining minister and deputy minister positions atop an LPNK, creates an unusual hybrid institutional form granting creative economy development both ministerial-level political authority and specialized agency operational flexibility.

The institutional separation from tourism governance, effected through partial revocation of Perpres 96/2019 and 97/2019, reflects a policy determination that creative economy requires dedicated institutional structures distinct from tourism development, despite sectoral complementarities. The transitional provisions ensuring personnel, asset, budget, and document continuity, combined with implementing regulation preservation, create a managed transition minimizing operational disruption.

The regulation's organizational architecture distributes policy formulation, standard-setting, technical guidance, and implementation monitoring across four substantive deputies, enabling specialized technical expertise while maintaining strategic coordination through the Strategic Development Deputy's master planning function. The absence of explicit creative subsector enumeration, replaced by functional domain organization, provides flexibility to adapt institutional structures as creative industries evolve, particularly in rapidly changing digital and technology sectors.

As Indonesia seeks to elevate creative economy as a development priority and major employment generator, Perpres 200/2024 provides the institutional infrastructure for coordinated policy development, industry support, and ecosystem development across diverse creative sectors. The regulation's effectiveness will depend on implementing regulations defining detailed organizational structures, standard operating procedures, and inter-institutional coordination mechanisms, combined with adequate budgetary resources and ministerial leadership commitment to creative economy development as a national strategic priority.
