JAKARTA - The government has not been able to determine the amount of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (Persero) or DSI's contribution to state revenues. The reason is that the company, which is tasked with managing the export of strategic natural resources commodities (SDA), will only start operating on June 1, 2026.
Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the government was still calculating the potential impact of the policy on state revenues.
"It has been calculated but we haven't found the number. So we are still counting, this is still the first one, right. We can't see what the impact will be," said Purbaya at a press conference at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, Sunday, May 31.
Purbaya explained that the government would carry out periodic monitoring and evaluation of DSI operations. The evaluation is scheduled to take place every three months to measure the impact of policies on export governance and state revenue.
Furthermore, Purbaya said the results of the initial evaluation would be the basis for assessing the extent to which the DSI's role is able to increase the effectiveness of the management of Indonesia's strategic commodity exports.
"What is clear is that DSI will be monitored every three months and evaluated. So three months from now, it may be possible to come out with a clearer figure on the impact of DSI on state revenues," he said.
For information, DSI will begin entering the transition period for the management of strategic natural resources commodity exports starting June 1, 2026. In the initial phase, commodities included in the scheme include crude palm oil (CPO), coal, and iron alloys or ferroalloys.
During the transition period, export activities will continue to be carried out by each company. However, exporters are required to report all export activities to DSI as state-owned enterprises tasked with managing the export of strategic natural resources.
Along with the operation of DSI, the government began to enforce new rules regarding the management of Foreign Exchange from Natural Resources Export (DHE SDA) as of June 1, 2026. Through this policy, exporters of strategic natural resource commodities are required to repatriate all DHE to the country with a 100 percent compliance rate.
The regulation is contained in Government Regulation (PP) Number 21 of 2026 concerning the Third Amendment to PP Number 36 of 2023 regarding Foreign Exchange from Export Results from the activities of exploitation, management, and/or processing of natural resources.
