On November 6, 2026, Indonesia's Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs announced enhanced flexibility for Natural Resource Export Proceeds (DHE SDA) and updated export governance. Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto emphasized that DHE funds are not frozen; non-oil and gas exporters can use 100% of their DHE (with a minimum 12-month placement) for Rupiah conversion (up to 50%), tax payments, dividends, and capital goods procurement. Article 18A has been expanded to seven partner countries and regions (adding South Korea, Japan, and the EU to the existing US, Canada, China, and Australia), with designated banks increasing to 16. Eligible mining exporters only need to place 30% of DHE for at least 3 months.
For export governance, PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) will act as the "single intermediary" for coal, palm oil, and iron alloy exports. DSI will not alter existing commercial processes or take ownership of goods; it will only verify contract documents and approve draft export declarations (PEB). The NADI portal will undergo system testing on Nov 15, open account registration on Dec 15, and officially go live on Jan 1, 2027 (for BC 3.0 and BC 3.3). The government said the move aims to enhance export transparency and traceability while ensuring smooth export flows without changing business procedures.
