        "summary": "Indonesia has granted the United States the first exemption from its Foreign Exchange from Natural Resource Exports (DHE-SDA) policy, requiring export earnings to remain domestically. The new PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia (DSI) will manage strategic commodity exports via a single-window system, with tax obligations unchanged but stricter oversight to combat evasion. Quarterly evaluations will assess the impact on state revenue.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 The government has opened the possibility of granting\nexceptions to the rules on placing Foreign Exchange from Natural\nResource Exports (DHE-SDA) for countries with bilateral agreements or\ntrade cooperation with Indonesia. However, to date, the government has\nonly confirmed the United States (US) as the country that has received\nclarity on the exemption scheme. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa\nstated that the core philosophy of the DHE-SDA policy is to encourage\nexporters benefiting from domestic financial systems to place their\nforeign exchange earnings domestically. Therefore, the government aims\nto ensure export proceeds circulate domestically to benefit the national\neconomy. \u2018President often says that companies receiving financing from\ndomestic banks, which profit from exports, should place their export\nearnings domestically rather than overseas,\u2019 Purbaya said at Wisma\nDanantara on Sunday (31 May 2026). He explained that technical\nregulations regarding exemptions for trade partner countries will be\nrefined as the DHE-SDA policy is implemented. On the same occasion,\nPurbaya also confirmed that the establishment of PT Danantara Sumber\nDaya Indonesia (DSI) as the single-window export manager for strategic\ncommodities would not alter businesses\u2019 tax obligations. He stated that\nall tax obligations would continue as per current regulations. However,\nthrough strengthened export oversight, the government aims to curb\npractices that could harm the nation, such as export value manipulation\nand tax evasion. He added that the government would continuously monitor\nthe policy\u2019s impact on the national economy and state revenue before\nconsidering further steps in taxation and export governance. He stressed\nthat quarterly evaluations would measure the impact of DSI\nimplementation on state revenue. These evaluations will commence as the\nsingle-window mechanism for strategic natural resource commodities\u2019\nexport governance takes effect. \u2018DSI will be monitored and evaluated\nevery three months. Therefore, in about three months from now, we will\nbe able to clearly state the impact of the DSI policy on state revenue,\u2019\nPurbaya stressed.<\/p>",
