What is the primary role of Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) according to the government’s official statement?

According to Danantara COO Dony Oskaria, DSI was established solely to monitor and prevent fraudulent export practices—specifically transfer pricing and under-invoicing—and is not intended to take over exporters’ goods or act as a middleman selling commodities internationally. Its function is regulatory oversight, not commercial involvement in exports.

How does the Indonesian government address concerns from businesses about disruption to existing trade operations under the new export control policy?

The government assures businesses that it will honor all existing export contracts and emphasizes it has no intention of 'destroying our revenue system'; instead, it aims to increase state revenue. A transition period from 1 June to 31 December allows exporters to report activities via the DJBC’s export service system, and officials stress that the current trade ecosystem remains intact and operational.
