  "account": "A month after the Satu Data Indonesia (SDI) law was passed on October 6, the Indonesian government is racing against the clock to finalize implementing regulations on integrating data from multiple institutions within two months. The regulations aim to facilitate data sharing among government agencies while preserving control over individual databases.\n\nThe National Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas) is coordinating efforts to ensure public and stakeholder comprehension of national data management. Meanwhile, Presidential Regulation No. 39/2019 on SDI will continue to be implemented as long as its provisions align with the new law.\n\nRachmat Pambudy, the National Development Planning Minister, emphasized that accurate, timely, and reliable data is crucial for identifying educational, healthcare, and infrastructure needs. He highlighted that data is not solely owned by government systems but serves as a strategic national asset and source of future wealth, likening it to \"data being the new oil.\"\n\nThe law will enable the government to map the country's natural resources, both above and beneath the surface, to better identify and manage national wealth. Furthermore, the integrated data will serve as a mandatory reference for fiscal policy and social assistance distribution, enhancing accuracy and eliminating discrepancies across government institutions.",
