Danantara Guarantees Existing Coal Export Contracts Will Continue, Here Are the Conditions

Danantara Indonesia has guaranteed that existing export contracts for strategic natural resources signed by business players can continue to operate normally. This follows the policy of exporting coal, ferro alloy, and crude palm oil (CPO) through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). One of the main objectives is to maintain business certainty while strengthening the confidence of international trading partners and investors amid the strengthening of national export governance. PT DSI has been mandated to ensure that this single-door export policy is implemented in a measured, professional, and accountable manner. The confidence of international trading partners and investors is a priority at every stage of the policy. According to an official statement from Danantara, the main condition for existing export contracts to continue running smoothly is the absence of export value manipulation or under-invoicing practices in any transaction. As long as business players conduct honest and fair trade practices, the government guarantees there will be no operational obstacles in shipping commodities abroad. During the transition period that began on 1 June 2026, DSI’s main focus is strengthening the reporting system through a digital platform. This system will analyse transaction data objectively so that the majority of trade deemed fair can continue without requiring additional evaluation. DSI also provides a guarantee of protection for the confidentiality of all commercial information and contractual provisions reported by companies. This is done to ensure that sensitive business data remains secure and is not misused, providing peace of mind for global investors partnering with Indonesia. In the future, price determination within this single-door system will use a transparent and accountable methodology. The pricing formula will consider various technical variables such as quality differences, product specifications, and logistics costs so that the fairness of the price assessment is conducted appropriately according to the context of each company’s transaction. The government continues to periodically evaluate the implementation of DSI’s mandate to ensure there is no disruption to the national export flow. Intensive coordination and dialogue with stakeholders are prioritised so that this transformation of natural resource governance can provide maximum benefits for the prosperity of the people without neglecting the commercial aspects of the industry.
