PT DSI Persero will assume full export functions starting January\n2027. Chair of Commission XI of the Indonesian Parliament, Mukhamad\nMisbakhun, said the formation of the new entity PT Danantara Sumberdaya\nIndonesia (DSI) is a strategic step to strengthen governance of the\nnational export of natural resources. According to Misbakhun, the\npresence of DSI can be an important instrument to improve the national\nexport system, including curbing under-invoicing practices that have\nlong harmed the state.<\/p>\n
He is also optimistic that the presence of DSI can safeguard the\ninvestment climate due to the guarantees of certainty and government\noversight. \u2018By strengthening export governance and supervisory\nassurances, this will also safeguard the investment climate and be\npositive for state revenue,\u2019 Misbakhun said in a statement on Thursday\n(21 May 2026).<\/p>\n
Misbakhun highlighted under-invoicing or reporting export values\nbelow actual prices as a serious challenge in governing Indonesia\u2019s\nnatural resource trade. He said this condition reduces potential state\nrevenue and makes export earnings not optimally flow into the\ncountry.<\/p>\n
\u2018Therefore, the formation of DSI can be a solution to strengthen\nsupervision, transparency, and data integration of national exports. DSI\nmust become a state instrument to ensure export governance of natural\nresources is more accountable and transparent. With a more integrated\nsystem, under-invoicing practices can be curbed so that potential state\nrevenue and foreign exchange earnings can be more maximised,\u2019 the Golkar\npolitician said.<\/p>\n
Misbakhun explained that Indonesia, as a resource-rich country, has\nenormous foreign exchange potential from minerals, coal, energy, and\nplantations. However, he argues there are still gaps in the trade and\nexport reporting system that cause export values not being recorded\noptimally. Through DSI, he hopes the government can build stronger\noversight and governance of trade so that all this potential can provide\nmaximum benefit to the national economy.<\/p>\n
In addition to strengthening oversight, Misbakhun said DSI could also\nimprove Indonesia\u2019s bargaining position in global markets. The Golkar\nlegislator from East Java\u2019s Dapil II is confident that more professional\nand coordinated export management can ensure commodity prices are more\ncompetitive and provide greater added value for the country. He also\nhopes this will impact an increase in national foreign exchange reserves\nand strengthen the stability of the rupiah\u2019s exchange rate.<\/p>\n
\u2018When export earnings can flow into the country more optimally, our\neconomic resilience will be stronger. This is important for maintaining\nfiscal stability, strengthening foreign exchange reserves, and enhancing\ninvestor confidence in Indonesia\u2019s economy,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The Indonesian Foreign Ministry (Kemlu) emphasised that the formation\nof PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia (DSI) is not a trade barrier, but\nrather a reform of governance of strategic commodities.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dsis-presence-expected-to-safeguard-the-investment-climate-1779542125", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
