Reuters (21/07/2026) - JAKARTA, July 21 (Reuters) - Danantara Indonesia's dedicated strategic commodity export unit said on Tuesday that it would start processing export data ​through a national "integrated governance system" in September, as ‌it prepares to launch the country's controversial new export regime.

Here are the details:

• Set up by the sovereign wealth fund on June 1, ​PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) is part of President Prabowo ​Subianto's plan to channel exports of key commodities such ⁠as coal, palm oil and ferroalloys through a central government-run agency to ​tackle concerns about under-invoicing and transfer pricing, which the government says ​have caused significant losses.
• DSI said in a statement: "The implementation commencing in September 2026 will serve as the soft launch of the integrated export ​governance system, whereby export data and export administration for ​strategic commodities will begin to be processed through the national governance mechanism ‌in ⁠accordance with applicable regulations."
• "This stage does not change DSI's implementation approach, which remains phased and market-oriented," DSI said, adding it would still act as an intermediary and "governance facilitator" focused ​on transparency and ​ensuring continuity ⁠for exporters and international buyers.
• In a separate statement on Tuesday, DSI said it was still ​improving export traceability and identifying discrepancies in consolidated transaction ​data, although ⁠such discrepancies do not automatically constitute evidence of violations or under-invoicing.
• "As implementation remains at an early stage, it is still ⁠too ​soon to draw conclusions regarding the ​extent of improvements or the impact on under-invoicing practices," the company added.
