Harmonization of Creative Economy Regulations as An Extensive Convenience Framework for Achieving Legal Certainty in Investment

Abstract

The creative economy has emerged as a strategic pillar of national economic development; yet its full potential as an investment destination remains unrealized owing to persistent regulatory disharmony. The normative tension between Law Number 24 of 2019 on the Creative Economy and the prevailing investment law framework generates legal uncertainty that structurally constrains capital flows into creative subsectors. This study aims to examine the urgency of harmonizing creative economy regulations with investment law instruments so as to establish extensive convenience for investors, while simultaneously assessing the effectiveness of such legal alignment in guaranteeing investment legal certainty and accelerating national economic growth. A normative juridical method is employed, combining a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The study finds that regulatory disharmony has produced entrenched structural barriers that erode investor confidence, while the integration of Intellectual Property Rights as investment law instruments remains fragmented and unsystematic. This research advances a novel service-oriented law paradigm that repositions the state as an active facilitator in constructing an investment-friendly legal ecosystem grounded in economic value certainty. The implications are far-reaching: regulatory harmonization is not merely a technical legislative agenda but a constitutional prerequisite for realizing economic justice and sustaining the competitive attractiveness of the creative economy investment sector.
