Rosan Reveals PT DSI to Be Led by Luke Thomas Mahony

For now, Luke Thomas will lead. Rosan told reporters at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Thursday, 21 May 2026. He said the authorities would hold a meeting first to solicit input from various parties, including associations and heads of chambers of commerce, and would also conduct a socialisation drive. ‘This is the initial step. We just had a meeting. We want to hear input. Later this afternoon, from all associations, the ministers of trade, Apindo, the palm oil association APBI, coal, and others, we will also carry out socialisation. So we will be at 4pm,’ he said. Rosan did not elaborate on the reasons for appointing Luke Thomas Mahony as chief executive of PT DSI. He said the full team would be announced, with track records and capabilities showcased, similar to how Danantara was built previously. Earlier, there had indeed been circulating information about the name of the President Director (Dirut) of DSI, Luke Thomas Mahony. Luke previously served as a Director at PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (INCO). President Prabowo Subianto issued Government Regulation (PP) on the Governance of Exports of Natural Resource Commodities (SDA). Through this rule, exports of several strategic commodities must be conducted through government-designated state-owned enterprises (BUMN). Prabowo said the policy aims to strengthen supervision of Indonesia’s SDA exports while closing loopholes that allow export earnings to escape and underpayment of taxes. ‘Today the government of the Republic of Indonesia that I lead has issued the Government Regulation on the Governance of Exports of Natural Resource Commodities,’ Prabowo said at a plenary session of the DPR in Jakarta, Wednesday (20/5).
