TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong has weighed in on Indonesia's new policy on the export of three key natural resource commodities through a single door under PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). Gan noted that every nation has its own priorities when shaping export strategies.
"Singapore will work together with Indonesia to ensure that Indonesia remains an attractive investment destination for Singapore and our investors," Gan said during a press conference at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that his administration will keep engaging with Singaporean business players to guarantee that cross-border cooperation remains seamless. Trade flows, moving both ways between the two neighbors, are expected to continue without disruption.
"That is one of the reasons why we are discussing strengthening the supply chain resilience between Singapore and Indonesia," he added.
Gan spoke following the 16th Indonesia-Singapore Six Bilateral Economic Working Groups Ministerial Meeting held at the ministry, a session that also yielded six new commercial agreements.
Under the new regulatory framework, the specific commodities mandated to pass through PT DSI are palm oil, coal, and iron alloys. Jakarta is leveraging this centralized approach to clamp down on under-invoicing, transfer pricing, and the flight of export revenues.
A transition period is underway from June 1 through December 31, 2026, during which trade provisions will operate as usual. While exporters continue to honor agreements with their respective partners, their operations are now monitored by PT DSI and must be reported via the Ministry of Finance's Customs and Excise CEISA 4.0 platform. Full integration under PT DSI will officially take effect on January 1, 2027.
Dony Oskaria, Chief Operating Officer of the Investment Management Agency for Nusantara Resources (BPI Danantara), reassured the public that the one-door mechanism is built on transparency and accountability, allowing citizens to monitor its progress.
"We will also continue to carry out the contracts held by all companies, of course, they will proceed as they have," he said.
