Indonesia Weighs 2027 Export Rule Exemptions for Traders as It Seeks Investment

Summary
Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia is discussing carve-outs that could let commodity traders bypass all or part of Indonesia’s new export controls if they invest locally and form joint ventures with the new state body.
Those talks involve major exporters and traders, according to people familiar, showing Jakarta may soften implementation of a policy designed to tighten state oversight of commodity shipments.
The underlying rules, effective June 1, require exporters of coal, palm oil and ferroalloys to report activities to a state firm, while existing permits remain valid until late 2026.
From Jan. 1, 2027, only the state firm is slated to export those commodities under President Prabowo Subianto’s broader push to capture more value from Indonesia’s natural resources.
