DSI's Impact on State Revenue to Be Evaluated Every Three Months

JAKARTA – The government will conduct periodic evaluations every three months to assess the impact of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) on state revenue. The evaluation comes as the government implements a single-channel mechanism for managing exports of strategic natural resources. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the government cannot yet accurately predict the additional state revenue generated by DSI’s implementation. He added the policy is in its initial implementation phase, requiring time to assess its effectiveness. Purbaya explained the government has conducted preliminary calculations on potential state revenue from the new policy. However, more accurate figures will only be known once the policy is in effect and regularly evaluated. He added DSI’s performance will be monitored and evaluated every three months. From these evaluations, the government will assess how effectively the single-channel export policy enhances transaction transparency, strengthens export oversight, and contributes to state revenue. “DSI will be monitored and evaluated every three months. Therefore, we will be able to clearly communicate the policy’s impact on state revenue in about three months,” Purbaya said. The policy will initially apply to three key commodities: coal, palm oil, and ferro alloy, which are Indonesia’s largest export contributors. According to Airlangga, the single-channel export mechanism via DSI is designed to strengthen export oversight, improve trade data quality, and prevent practices that harm the state, such as under-invoicing, transfer pricing, and foreign exchange leakage. “The government will fundamentally improve the management of strategic natural resource exports through state-owned export enterprises. Implementation begins with three strategic commodities: coal, palm oil, and ferro alloy,” Airlangga said at the same location.
