        "summary": "Indonesian lawmaker Ahmad Labib argues that the planned export-focused state-owned enterprise, PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia, is designed to maximise the nation's trade gains from natural resources. He says the move would strengthen governance of SDA trade and improve Indonesia's bargaining position in global markets, while reducing price manipulation and under-invoicing through a more integrated, one-gate export framework.",
        "content": "<p>An export-focused state-owned enterprise named PT Danantara Sumber\nDaya Indonesia has been formed to push optimised gains from Indonesia\u2019s\ntrade in natural resources, according to Ahmad Labib, a member of\nCommission VI of the DPR. He said the presence of such an\nexport-specialised SOE is a strategic government move to strengthen the\ngovernance of natural resource trade in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The existence of a state-owned company that functions as an\naggregator and manager of strategic SDA export trade is expected to\nboost optimisation of trade profits for the national revenue,\u2019 Labib\nsaid in a statement on Thursday (21 May 2026).<\/p>\n<p>From underpricing practices, weak control of the international supply\nchain, leakage of export earnings, to Indonesia\u2019s low bargaining\nposition in global markets, all these factors have caused the country\nnot to maximally derive added value from its national wealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The formation of an export-focused state-owned enterprise under\nDanantara could be one of the strategic steps to reinforce the domestic\ntrade system,\u2019 Labib added.<\/p>\n<p>Through a one-gate export mechanism, the export of several\ncommodities such as coal, crude palm oil (CPO), nickel, and ferro alloy\nis expected to operate within a more integrated and coordinated national\ntrade system.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the trading scheme has the potential to strengthen\nIndonesia\u2019s bargaining position in setting export price benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the model is also seen as capable of curbing price\nmanipulation practices that have long harmed the country.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, synchronisation of tax data and international\ntransactions is also expected to become more transparent and\naccountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To date, Indonesia has often found itself in a price-taker position\nbecause the export system is fragmented. If strategic export trade can\nbe integrated through a stronger national mechanism, the opportunities\nto increase trading leverage, maintain market stability, and minimise\nunder-invoicing practices will grow,\u2019 the Golkar politician said.<\/p>",
