Indonesia will implement a centralized export system for strategic commodities—coal, crude palm oil (CPO), and ferro alloy products—through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) starting September 1, 2026. The system, introduced by President Prabowo Subianto’s new regulation, aims to tighten oversight, improve transparency, and ensure foreign exchange earnings remain in the domestic financial system. A three-month transition period from June to August will allow exporters to continue direct transactions with overseas buyers while documentation shifts to DSI. These commodities account for about 60% of Indonesia’s total exports, making the reform a major step in reshaping trade governance. Analysts warn the transition could spark volatility in global coal markets, given Indonesia’s role as one of the world’s largest coal exporters. Wahyu Laksono outlined scenarios where administrative delays could push coal prices up by 5–10%, while severe bottlenecks at export hubs could trigger supply shocks, raising prices by 15–25% as buyers turn to alternative suppliers like Australia and South Africa. He also cautioned that uncertainty in logistics and documentation could increase costs for exporters through delays and vessel demurrage charges, underscoring the risks of early implementation.Source: https://indonesiabusinesspost.com/6666/policy/indonesia-sets-september-2026-rollout-for-centralized-commodity-export-system (ICE GIACARTA)
