President Prabowo Subianto announced the issuance of a Government Regulation on the Governance of Natural Resource Commodity Exports as a strategic step to strengthen the supervision and governance of national commodity exports. This was conveyed by the President at the Plenary Session of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) at the Nusantara Building of the MPR/DPR/DPD RI, Jakarta, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Through this policy, the President stated that commodity export sales must be carried out through state-owned enterprises (BUMN) appointed by the government as sole exporters. This policy will begin with three strategic commodities: palm oil, coal, and ferro alloys.[1]

"We are mandating that all of our natural resource sales, starting with palm oil, coal, and ferro alloys, be conducted through state-owned enterprises (BUMN) designated by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia as sole exporters. This means that the proceeds from each export sale will be passed on by the government-appointed BUMN to the business actors managing these activities. This can be considered a marketing facility," said the President. According to the President, the main objective of this policy is to strengthen supervision and monitoring of natural resource commodity exports. Furthermore, this policy is also aimed at eradicating underpayments or under-invoicing, transfer pricing, and foreign exchange embezzlement from exports in order to optimize state revenues. "This policy will optimize tax revenues and state revenues from the management and sale of our natural resources," he said.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
