Indonesia Overhauls Export Proceeds Requirements For Natural Resources

The Government of Indonesia is set to introduce a revised regulatory framework governing the placement of export proceeds derived from natural resources (Devisa Hasil Ekspor Sumber Daya Alam or "DHE SDA"), scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026.

Currently, the DHE SDA regime is governed by Government Regulation No. 36 of 2023 regarding Foreign Exchange Export Proceeds from the Business, Management and/or Processing of Natural Resources, as amended by Government Regulation No. 8 of 2025 ("GR 36/2023"). The forthcoming revision represents a recalibration of the existing framework, signaling a more centralized and structured approach to the domestic placement of export proceeds.
