JAKARTA: An Indonesian business group wants the government to stick with the existing method of setting the minimum wage for 2025 after a court last month ordered changes to labour laws that could lead to wage rises, saying investors needed certainty.

The government is expected to announce next year's minimum wage before the end of 2024. The average minimum wage is at 3.1 million rupiah (US$195) per month, government data shows.
