- Both, Bappebti collaborates with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). As far as we know, their duties are not the same. Bappebti is under the Ministry of Trade.
- Foreign brokers are blocked because they are considered illegal, as they do not have a license from Bappebti. The government's provision is that every broker operating in the territory of Indonesia must obtain a license (be regulated) by Bappebti as the regulatory body for futures trading in Indonesia.
