Mineral Exchange to Launch 1 January 2027, Separate from PT DSI

The government and the House of Representatives (DPR) are preparing the establishment of a national strategic commodities and mineral exchange. This was conveyed by the Chairman of Commission XI of the Indonesian DPR, Mukhamad Misbakhun, at the parliament building on Thursday (4/6/2026). The formation of a mineral exchange is one of the mandates in the revision of the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Law (P2SK). According to Misbakhun, the exchange is targeted to commence operations on 1 January 2027. “So we are talking about the commercial aspect. We are talking about how Indonesia’s strategic minerals and commodities are then traded in Indonesia, so that people know what our minerals are like, at what price level, then the binding of contracts, and also other strategic resources, those other strategic commodities are also traded there,” he explained when met at the DPR, quoted on Friday (5/6/2026). Misbakhun also confirmed that the mineral exchange will have its own separate regulations, differing from the commodity trading mechanism currently under the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti). “It is different from Bappebti. Bappebti will later be separated from strategic minerals and commodities. If there are strategic minerals and commodities currently under Bappebti, they will be withdrawn,” he said. He affirmed that Indonesia will create the best concept for a commodity exchange. This is because many examples already exist in other countries and they can serve as benchmarks for Indonesia. “In other parts of the world, we can see what a commodity exchange looks like, and then the main thing is how we arrive at the best concept, one that is trusted and credible and then used as a reference,” he explained. Misbakhun stressed that the mineral exchange will be a distinct entity from PT Danantara Sumber Daya Indonesia (DSI). Both are confirmed to have different functions. “Indeed, they cannot be equated and must be separated, the mineral exchange and DSI,” Misbakhun emphasised. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa also confirmed the government will soon form the Mineral Exchange this year. “It should be formed as soon as possible this year. It is different from DSI,” said Purbaya after attending a Plenary Session on Thursday (4/6/2026). The mineral exchange will be directly supervised by the OJK Board of Commissioners, specifically the Chief Executive for Mineral and Strategic Commodities Exchange Supervision.
