Posterior probability of enforcement action given observed signals. Uses Bayes' theorem: P(E|S) = P(S|E)·P(E) / [P(S|E)·P(E) + P(S|¬E)·P(¬E)]
Weighted average of all regulatory enforcement posteriors. Higher = more likely enforcement action will affect investments.
| Regulation | Prior P(E) | Likelihood P(S|E) | Posterior P(E|S) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pp 28 2025 | 60% | 85% | 86.4% | |
| Height Limit | 75% | 90% | 96.4% | |
| Rental Licensing | 45% | 70% | 62.1% | |
| Green Zone | 80% | 95% | 98.7% | |

Model adapted from network/signals/market_signal.py probability blending. Priors calibrated from Indonesian government enforcement data (BPN, BKPM, OSS). Likelihoods estimated from signal strength (PP 28/2025 implementation, media coverage, recent enforcement actions). Updated 2026-03-10.

Ownership structures, nominee fraud, land title disputes
| Risk | Severity | Score | Trend | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nominee Arrangement Fraud | Critical | 95 | Worsening | Indonesian nominees can legally claim full ownership of property held on behalf of foreigners. Courts consistently rule nominee arrangements unenforceable under Basic Agrarian Law No. 5/1960. | |
Double-Selling & Title Fraud | High | 78 | Worsening | Properties sold to multiple buyers simultaneously, or with forged ownership certificates. Particularly prevalent in undeveloped land transactions. | |
Hak Pakai Renewal Uncertainty | High | 72 | Stable | Hak Pakai (Right to Use) initial 30-year term + 20-year extension + 30-year renewal (80 years max). Renewal requires landowner consent and government approval — neither guaranteed. | |
Inheritance & Succession Risk | High | 70 | Stable | Foreign property rights in Indonesia do not automatically transfer to heirs. Without proper estate planning, properties face forced resale or government seizure. | |
Leasehold Extension Risk | High | 68 | Stable | Lease extensions are "based on mutual agreement" — weak legal position for foreigners if original lessor is unwilling to renew or demands exploitative terms. | |
PT PMA Regulatory Scrutiny | Medium | 62 | Worsening | Using PT PMA as passive land-holding vehicle without real business operations attracts increasing regulatory scrutiny from BKPM and tax authorities. |
