Abstract

Each country has specific policies formulated to handle and deal with the impact of the spread of Covid-19 in both social, economic, and cultural aspects. In Indonesia, the government has issued the Covid-19 Law in Lieu which has been agreed by the Parliament as an umbrella law for policies, especially in the economic sector, to maintain national financial stability. This paper examined the law by comparing it with regulations in other countries to determine how relevant economic policies and law are to deal with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. By normative research method, this paper saw the extent to which emergency laws are needed to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, primarily for economic stability that will directly or indirectly impact the welfare of citizens. Time limits for the emergency law need to apply, to provide an opportunity for an evaluation process to avoid authoritarian rule.
