Implementation of TA activities in the finance sector should actively engage the private sector so that the policies developed by MOF and OJK are relevant and effective. A good example is the diagnosis of tax neutrality for the Islamic capital market, which included significant consultation with issuers, legal and tax experts, banks and capital market intermediaries. This feature is a good practice and should be replicated in other TAs.

Since the CSIF, which the TA supports has been a regional discussion platform under the ABMI TF4, consensus among members on subject matters was, and is, essential. To ensure regional consensus, the combination of inducing active participation of the members and engaging close consultation with ASEAN+3 government officials is quite important. In addition, further engagement with the private sector is more desirable, though the preference of the members is still informal and closed.
