        "summary": "The Indonesian government is establishing PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) as a specialised export state-owned enterprise, with a commitment to honour existing long-term export contracts. Officials say contracts will be reviewed if prices appear misaligned with global markets, while DSI is positioned as an intermediary before becoming the sole exporter for strategic commodities such as palm oil, coal, and ferro alloys.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Danantara, Pandu Sjahrir,\nsaid the group will continue to respect long-term contracts for the sale\nof natural-resource commodities (SDA) that were previously agreed\nbetween exporters and buyers. As part of maintaining the smooth\ncontinuity of these contracts, the government is engaging in dialogues\nwith industry players and related associations. \u201cWe do not want to\ndisrupt anything with respect to existing contracts; we want everything\nto run smoothly,\u201d Pandu said at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic\nAffairs, Jakarta, on 21 May 2026. At present, the government is still\ncollecting feedback from industry. This is part of the discussion\nsurrounding the formation of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) as\na Specialised State-Owned Enterprise for Exports. DSI is planned to\nfunction as an intermediary for export transactions for a number of\nstrategic commodities before eventually becoming the sole exporter. The\ncommodities in question include palm oil (CPO), coal, and ferro alloys.\nMeanwhile, Danantara Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rosan Roeslani also\nassured that the government will continue to respect long-term contracts\nalready agreed between exporters and buyers. \u201cNot (to terminate\ncontracts); we will honour all existing contracts,\u201d Rosan said. However,\nhe noted that the government will continue to evaluate contracts that\nappear not to align with global market prices or that involve\nunder-invoicing. In many long-term contracts, the price of the commodity\nis not fixed at the signing; rather, it follows price movements when\nshipments commence. \u201cBut what we see is that even though they are\nlong-term contracts, the pricing set at the signing is not fixed. When\nthe contract begins to run, we will review whether the contract is below\nthe world market index, and we will review those that are currently in\neffect,\u201d he said. (Antara)<\/p>",
