        "summary": "Indonesia will require 100% repatriation of export earnings from the natural resources sector into the domestic financial system from 1 June 2026, with sector-specific retention rules and an FX conversion cap. The policy aims to strengthen foreign exchange liquidity, support domestic financing for development and downstream industry, and offer tax incentives, with exemptions for certain partner countries.",
        "content": "<p>The government has officially tightened the rules governing Devisa\nHasil Ekspor (DHE) for the Sumber Daya Alam (SDA) sector by mandating\n100% repatriation of funds into the domestic financial system starting 1\nJune 2026. The policy, contained in the third revision to Government\nRegulation No.\u00a036 of 2023, aims to bolster national foreign exchange\nliquidity and support financing for development and the downstreaming of\nindustry. \u201cThe key provision is that exporters of natural resources must\nplace 100% of their DHE SDA into the Indonesian financial system or\nrepatriate it with 100% compliance,\u201d Airlangga Hartarto, Minister\nCoordinating Economic Affairs, said at a press conference at the DPR\nbuilding, Jakarta, on Wednesday 20 May. Under the technical scheme, the\ngovernment differentiates retention durations by sector. For the oil and\ngas sector (migas), exporters must place at least 30% of DHE for three\nmonths. Meanwhile, the non-migas sector is subject to a 100% DHE\nplacement for at least 12 months in a Bank Himbara special account.\nNotably, the government has also adjusted the foreign exchange\nconversion policy. The maximum conversion of DHE from foreign currency\ninto the Rupiah has been reduced to 50%, from the previous 100%. This\nmove provides flexibility for exporters while preserving the supply of\nforeign currency in the domestic market. As compensation for the\ntightening, the government offers competitive fiscal incentives.\nExporters who park their funds domestically stand to obtain an Income\nTax (PPh) rate of up to 0% on the placement instrument, depending on the\nplacement duration. Airlangga said the incentive for DHE placement could\ncarry a PPh rate of 0% according to the duration of placement. In\naddition, there is a special exemption for trading partner countries\nwith strategic agreements with Indonesia. Mining exporters from partner\ncountries are allowed to place a 30% retention for three months in\nnon-Himbara banks as part of priority international cooperation. Through\nthis policy, the government is optimistic that foreign exchange from the\nSDA sector will no longer linger abroad, but will become a driver of\ndomestic financing and the acceleration of the nation\u2019s downstream\nindustries.<\/p>",
