This study uses doctrinal legal research form by examining literature materials or sources in the form of written positive legal norms. The Investment Law has accommodated the 5 (five) main principles after the ratification of the GATT; however, it is found that the implementation regulation violates the principles in the ministerial regulation level.

This study can be useful to foresee the risk of a policy in general and to improve the interest of foreign direct investment in particular as well as to fill the gap of rising concern technical understanding of the retail trading business activity for foreign direct investment. ]]>
