JAKARTA - The government has finalized the operations of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia or DSI as a one-stop export SOE for strategic natural resources commodities. This policy will enter a transition period on June 1, 2026.
The initial phase applies to three major commodities, namely coal, palm oil, and ferro alloys, which are mixtures of iron-based metals for industrial steel needs. These three commodities are not small players. In 2025, their export value reached 66.13 billion US dollars, or 23.4 percent of total national exports.
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said this policy was made to strengthen export supervision and the governance of export earnings.
"Once again, this is strengthening export supervision and governance. The goal is to prevent practices of under invoicing, transfer pricing, and related to the escape of foreign exchange from exports," said Coordinating Minister Airlangga at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, Sunday, May 31.
Under invoicing is the practice of reporting export values lower than the actual value. Meanwhile, transfer pricing in this context refers to inter-company pricing arrangements that can shift profits or foreign exchange abroad.
Airlangga said this policy was a follow-up to President Prabowo Subianto's direction in the DPR RI Plenary Meeting on May 20, 2026.
During the transition period, exports will continue to run with the current mechanism. Trade contracts that are currently running will also continue to be respected.
However, exporters are required to submit export activity documents to DSI electronically through the export service system of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise.
The government will evaluate the transition period in the first three months. The results of the evaluation will be the basis for improvement before the export mechanism through DSI is fully implemented by no later than January 1, 2027.
According to Airlangga, the presence of DSI is expected to make the trade of strategic commodities more transparent and accountable. The government also wants to ensure that the foreign exchange from exports can provide greater benefits for the national economy.
"With this new export governance policy, the implementation steps have been prepared," said Airlangga.
He said that every strategic export value is expected to provide real benefits for the economy and the prosperity of the people.
