Indonesia published a new regulation clarifying the product-level scope of its new state-controlled commodity export regime, pursuant to which most exports of major palm oil products, several coal products and ferroalloy products containing more than 2% carbon by weight must move through the newly established state-owned entity Danatara Sumberdaya Indonesia, or DSI, Bloomberg reported on June 5. The regulation was released amid a broader selloff in Indonesian assets, with the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index falling 4.2% the same day to its worst close of 2026 as investors reacted to a still sinking rupiah, capital outflows and concern about President Prabowo Subianto's increasingly interventionist grip on the economy, the Jakarta Globe reported separately on June 5.

The regulation formalizes Subianto's May 20 announcement of plans to centralize strategic commodity exports to reduce underinvoicing, strengthen state revenue and foreign exchange reserves and keep more export revenue onshore. It also follows the June 1 start of the transition period, during which exporters are required to submit documentation to DSI while awaiting the rollout of rules on key facets.
