Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population, has made Halal certification a legal obligation. Under Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance, certificates are issued by a government agency, BPJPH, after an audit by a Halal inspection body such as LPPOM MUI and a ruling on the product's Halal status. The obligation is being phased in by product category, starting with food and beverages.
The wider sharia economy is steered by the National Committee for Sharia Economy and Finance (KNEKS). Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) develop and supervise Islamic finance, with fatwas from the National Sharia Board (DSN-MUI), and Bank Indonesia's yearly Indonesia Sharia Economic Festival (ISEF) brings the whole ecosystem together in Jakarta. This guide lists the institutions behind each part, with their pages on Wasabih.
