Indonesia is easing export-proceeds rules for qualifying mining companies, allowing them to retain at least 30 percent

of natural-resource export proceeds for three months under a new provision. Under Article 18A of Government Regulation

No. 21/2026, eligible mining exporters can place at least 30 percent of their natural-resource export proceeds for three

months, versus 100 percent for 12 months under general rules. “The policy has three main goals: strengthen

macroeconomic stability and domestic financial markets, support investment and working capital for downstream

development, and boost investment and exports,” said Susiwijono Moegiarso, secretary of the Coordinating Ministry

for Economic Affairs, in a statement here Sunday. Based on export customs declarations from the Directorate General of

Customs and Excise from March 2025 through July 2026, the government identified 537 tax identification numbers belonging

to mining exporters. After matching the data with the Directorate General of General Legal Administration, 64 tax

identification numbers, or about 12 percent, met the criteria for the Article 18A facility. The facility is optional and

applies to mining exporters incorporated as limited liability companies, with at least one shareholder from an eligible

partner country holding at least 10 percent of shares. Related news: RI Govt restructures resource policy to boost

energy control: expert Susiwijono said the government had designated five partner countries: the United States, China,

Hong Kong, Australia and Canada. “These countries have the largest investments in Indonesia’s mining sector

and bilateral trade agreements or other trade understandings with Indonesia,” Susiwijono said. Besides easing the

required amount and holding period, eligible exporters can place natural-resource export proceeds in foreign-exchange

banks under the new facility. The government has designated 15 foreign-exchange banks for special accounts under the

facility, comprising five state-owned banks and 10 private-sector banks. The special natural-resource export-proceeds

facility will take effect on Sept. 1, 2026. Eligible exporters that do not want to use the facility can opt out by

submitting a statement to Bank Indonesia within five working days after the exporter list is announced. Exporters that

do not submit the statement will automatically be deemed to have chosen the special facility. Exporters that do not use

the facility will remain subject to general rules under Government Regulation No. 2/2026. Non-oil-and-gas mining

exporters must place 100 percent of proceeds for 12 months, while oil-and-gas exporters must place at least 30 percent

for three months. Related news: Prabowo directs MIND ID on mining efficiency, governanceTranslator: Bayu Saputra, Tegar
