Peraturan Presiden 140/2024 (Peraturan Presiden Nomor 140 Tahun 2024 tentang Organisasi Kementerian Negara) is the Indonesian presidential regulation that lists the ministries of the government and sets the common rules for their organisation. It was signed by President Prabowo Subianto and promulgated on 21 October 2024, and took effect the same day.[1][2] It is a central instrument of public administration in Indonesia, and was issued to implement Pasal 11 of Undang-Undang 39/2008 on state ministries as amended by Undang-Undang 61/2024.[3]

The regulation lists 48 ministries, seven of them co-ordinating ministries, and sorts the others into three groups according to how the 1945 Constitution refers to their affairs.[4][5] For each group it sets the organisational elements and their maximum size, and it provides for deputy ministers, expert staff, special staff, technical implementing units, working arrangements, the grading of positions and a periodic institutional evaluation.[6][7][8][9] It revoked Peraturan Presiden 68/2019 on the same subject, as amended by Peraturan Presiden 32/2021.[10]

Peraturan Presiden 90/2025 amended it in September 2025 to add a Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, bringing the number of ministries to 49.[11] CRPG's regulatory tracker published an analysis of the regulation in December 2025.[12]

Background

Undang-Undang 39/2008 leaves the tasks, functions and organisation of ministries to presidential regulation, and until October 2024 capped their total number at 34.[13] Undang-Undang 61/2024, which took effect on 15 October 2024, replaced the cap with a rule that the President sets the number according to the needs of government.[14] Perpres 140/2024 cites both the 2008 law and its amendment as its legal basis, together with Pasal 4 ayat (1) and Pasal 17 of the Constitution.[3:1]

The preamble gives as reasons the need for ministries that are agile, responsive, effective and collaborative in the face of the national development agenda, and for renewed rules on their organisation to strengthen governance, optimise co-ordination and synchronisation between government agencies, and meet the needs of digital transformation.[3:2]

Ministries and groups

Pasal 1 defines a ministry (Kementerian Negara) as the government apparatus in charge of certain affairs of government, and a co-ordinating ministry (Kementerian Koordinator) as a ministry that synchronises and co-ordinates the implementation of ministerial affairs in its field.[15] Pasal 2 lists 48 ministries, and Pasal 3 sorts them as follows.[4:1][5:1]

  • Co-ordinating ministries (items 1 to 7): political and security affairs; law, human rights, immigration and corrections; the economy; human development and culture; infrastructure and regional development; community empowerment; and food.
  • Group I (Kelompok I, items 9 to 11): ministries whose nomenclature the Constitution states expressly, namely Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs and Defence.
  • Group II (Kelompok II, items 12 to 36): ministries handling affairs whose scope the Constitution mentions, from Religious Affairs, Law and Finance to Agriculture, Forestry, Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning.
  • Group III (Kelompok III, item 8 and items 37 to 48): ministries handling affairs for the sharpening, co-ordination and synchronisation of government programmes, among them the State Secretariat, National Development Planning, State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform, State-Owned Enterprises, Environment, and Investment and Downstreaming.

Several entries are joint ministry-agency titles, such as the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency and the Ministry of Migrant Worker Protection/Migrant Worker Protection Agency.[4:2] Where a minister also heads a non-ministerial agency, a Group II ministry lends its resources and units to the agency, a Group III ministry uses those of the agency, and the deputy minister also serves as the agency's deputy head.[16]

Organisation

Group I and Group II ministries have a leader (the minister), a secretariat-general, directorates- general, an inspectorate-general and supporting agencies or centres; Group I ministries also have units in the regions or missions abroad.[6:1] The ministries of Religious Affairs, Law and Finance have regional units, and the ministries of Human Rights and of Immigration and Corrections may have them according to an analysis of organisation and workload.[6:2] A secretariat-general has at most seven bureaus, and a directorate-general a secretariat and at most five directorates, the number of directorates-general being set by an analysis of organisation and workload.[17]

Group III ministries and co-ordinating ministries have a leader, a ministerial secretariat of at most five bureaus, deputies and an inspectorate. A deputy has a secretariat and at most five assistant deputies.[18][19] A co-ordinating ministry synchronises and co-ordinates the policies of the ministries and agencies in its field, oversees national priority programmes and other policies decided by the President in cabinet, and settles problems that ministries and agencies cannot resolve or agree on among themselves.[20]

Throughout, the lower units (bureaus, directorates, sections and subsections) are to consist of functional and implementing positions, and structural sub-units may be formed only where the work cannot be done by functional positions, selectively and according to set criteria.[17:1] Where affairs of different groups are merged, the merged ministry takes the organisational form of the higher group, or, for a Group III merger with a non-ministerial agency, that of the agency.[21]

Deputy ministers and staff

A co-ordinating minister or minister may be assisted by a deputy minister (wakil menteri) as designated by the President, who appoints and dismisses the deputy. The deputy minister is under and responsible to the minister, helps lead the ministry and co-ordinates strategic policy across its first-echelon units, and forms a single leadership element with the minister.[7:1]

A minister may be assisted by expert staff (staf ahli), who give recommendations on strategic issues, including digital transformation; there may be at most five, and no more than the number of executing units.[8:1] A ministry may also have at most five special staff (staf khusus). The minister proposes their number and candidates to the President through the Minister of State Secretary, and appoints them after the President approves. Their term is at most that of the minister, and they may be civil servants or others. Their financial rights are capped at the level of an echelon I.b or senior high-leadership position, and they receive no pension or severance pay.[8:2]

Working arrangements

Co-ordinating ministers and ministers co-ordinate and synchronise policy in carrying out the national development agenda and presidential assignments.[22] The ministers in charge of national development planning, finance and the state apparatus are jointly charged with integrating planning, budgeting and governance as part of the President's strategic management support, each with defined roles.[22:1] Ministers must apply the government performance accountability system, national development risk management and national digital transformation, report regularly to the President, and base their work on business processes that link units within and between ministries. Co-ordinating ministers co-ordinate through meetings, working groups, forums and direct consultation, monitor follow-up and report results to the President and Vice-President.[22:2] Every unit must apply the principles of co-ordination, integration, synchronisation and collaboration, supported by data and information interoperability, and must apply the government internal control system.[22:3]

Positions, evaluation and funding

Pasal 89 grades the posts: ministerial secretaries, secretaries-general, deputies, directors-general, inspectors-general and heads of agencies are senior high-leadership positions (echelon I.a); expert staff are echelon I.b; heads of bureaus, directors, assistant deputies, inspectors and heads of centres are primary high-leadership positions (echelon II.a); and the lower heads are administrator (III.a) and supervisor (IV.a) positions.[9:1] Government organisation is to be arranged on the basis of an institutional evaluation carried out at least every three years, under a regulation of the minister for the state apparatus.[9:2] Each ministry is funded from the state budget.[23]

The structures of the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defence, Law, Finance, Religious Affairs, Human Rights, and Immigration and Corrections, which handle absolute government affairs, and of the State Secretariat, are left to separate presidential regulations.[24] Other arrangements are made by presidential regulation on the proposal of the minister for the state apparatus for first-echelon posts, and by ministerial regulation with that minister's written approval for lower posts.[25] Ministry regulations issued under the new framework in November 2024 include Peraturan Presiden 158/2024 on the Ministry of Finance and Peraturan Presiden 169/2024 on the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, both of which cite Perpres 140/2024 as a legal basis.[26][27]

Transition and amendment

Units organised under Perpres 68/2019, as amended by Perpres 32/2021, continue to work until the new ministries are organised, and the implementing regulations of the old regulation remain in force unless they conflict with the new one or are replaced. Pasal 101 revokes Perpres 68/2019 and its amendment.[28][10:1]

Perpres 90/2025, signed and promulgated on 8 September 2025, amended Pasal 2 to insert the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah as item 13, after the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and renumbered the list to 49 ministries. It moved the boundaries of the groups accordingly, allowed the new ministry to have regional units, and added it to the ministries whose structure is set by a separate presidential regulation. Its preamble links the new ministry to Undang-Undang 14/2025, the third amendment of the law on the organisation of the hajj and umrah.[11:1]
