espite the government’s assurances that a new digital reporting system for commodity exports will be a light-touch affair during the transition period, the mining industry is withholding final judgment, warning that technical realities often surface only after a system becomes operational.
Analysts also warned that creating new agencies instead of strengthening existing institutions, while repeatedly introducing new schemes and changing implementation timelines, risks deepening policy uncertainty and could deter investors from committing capital to the country.
In a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s commodity trade regime, the government has officially begun transitioning to a centralized export system for key commodities, including coal, crude palm oil (CPO) and ferroalloys through newly formed state-owned firm Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), effective June 1.
The initial phase of the policy requires companies to complete an approval checklist within the CEISA 4.0 customs system as a notification to DSI.
Coordinating Economy Minister Airlangga Hartarto said the results of the first three months of evaluation would serve as the basis for determining the next stages of implementation. However, the full one-stop export policy would not be enforced before Jan. 1 next year, he added.
While the Indonesian Coal Mining Association (APBI) acknowledges the current process does not alter business schemes or contracts, APBI executive director Gita Mahyarani stressed that the true test lies in day-to-day execution.
“From a technical perspective, the initial reporting phase doesn’t add much effort for companies. However, we are still waiting for implementation on the ground, as technical details typically only become apparent once the system is operational,” Gita told The Jakarta Post on May 28.
