Indonesia Eases Foreign Exchange Rules for Mining Exporters
The Indonesian government has eased foreign exchange rules for mining exporters through Article 18A of Government Regulation (PP) Number 21 of 2026. Mining exporters who meet the criteria can now place at least 30 percent of their Natural Resources Export Proceeds (DHE SDA) for a minimum of three months, as opposed to the previous requirement of 100 percent for a minimum of 12 months.
This policy aims to support macroeconomic stability, encourage financing of development, and increase investment and export performance from natural resource activities. The facility is optional for mining sector exporters who meet the criteria, and is available to limited liability companies (PTs) with at least one shareholder from a partner country holding a minimum 10 percent ownership.
The government has designated five countries - the United States, China, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada - as partner countries for this facility. The special facility for DHE SDA is effective from September 1, 2026.
