        "content": "<p>Jakarta, Kompas.com \u2013 The government is granting relaxing of the\nforeign exchange rules on export proceeds from natural resource\nexploration, management, and processing (DHE SDA) for exporters from\npartner countries that have bilateral agreements with Indonesia. The\npolicy is seen as a signal that the government is not only pursuing\nforeign exchange inflows but also safeguarding trade and strategic\ninvestments.<\/p>\n<p>The rules are set out in Government Regulation (PP) No.\u00a021 of 2026,\nwhich is the third amendment to PP No.\u00a036 of 2023 on the management of\nforeign exchange earnings from activities of exploitation, management,\nand processing of natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Coordinating Economic affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the\nnew rules aim to strengthen development financing, support the\ndownstreaming of natural resources, increase investment, and uphold\nmacroeconomic and domestic financial market stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main objectives are, first, to foster development financing,\nparticularly investment and working capital for downstreaming natural\nresources. Second, to boost investment and export performance for\nactivities related to the exploitation and management of natural\nresources. Third, to support macro stability and domestic financial\nmarkets,\u201d Airlangga told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Central\nJakarta, on Wednesday, 20 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new rules, non-oil and gas exporters must place 100 percent\nof DHE SDA for at least 12 months. The oil and gas sector must retain a\nminimum of 30 percent for at least three months.<\/p>\n<p>Airlangga explained that the placement of DHE SDA must be conducted\nthrough state-owned banks (Himbara).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then repatriation of the retention placement of DHE SDA must be\nperformed through Himbara banks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the government provides exemptions for exporters from\ncountries with bilateral trade agreements or understandings with\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo for participants that have signed bilateral agreements, they can\nplace 30 percent for 3 months in non-Himbara banks,\u201d Airlangga said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the policy is a priority for partner countries\nthat have formal cooperation with Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means Indonesia gives priority to those that have signed\ncooperation agreements with Indonesia,\u201d Airlangga added.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the government is preparing incentives for exporters\nwho comply with the DHE SDA rules in the form of an Income Tax (PPh)\nrate of up to 0 percent on DHE SDA placement instruments. The incentive\nis provided according to the duration of the fund placement and is lower\nthan the standard 20 percent rate.<\/p>\n<p>Airlangga said the new rules will take effect on 1 June 2026.<\/p>",
