This problem is started in the disparity of perception about the market share calculation, he regret KPPU decision that weighs one of its members, namely Carrefour.

"This issue certainly causes confusion and doubt for us as players in the retail business. In fact, we are also concerned about Carrefour case potential to hindering growth in the Indonesian retail," he explained

Benjamin explained the problem of calculation of market share between the APRINDO members and KPPU did not get a deal. "The calculation of market share is relative. We have to be more observant to see it. What level mini market, hypermarkets, supermarkets, or the traditional market? There must be clarity and agreement here," he said adding, the base of comparison in the benchmark business calculation unclear market niche, and the definition of market domination is still too broad.

However, at the end of his explanation, Benjamin appreciates KPPU legitimacy. "Obviously this will be learning for us," he added. (Cha / JPNN)
